Another Marvel TV Character Confirms His Return in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
Few Disney+ characters left fans as curious about their future as Mobius. In the second season of ‘Loki‘, Mobius left the TVA, telling Hunter B-15 he needed to see what the TVA had been protecting, and watched his variant Don in Ohio. He then told Sylvie he would “let time pass.” Ever since, fans have wondered whether a Mobius return in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ was possible.
For a long time, the answer was unclear. Marvel’s official March 2025 cast announcement did not list Owen Wilson among its 26 revealed names. A rumor later claimed that Wilson had shot scenes for the film, though it remained unconfirmed.
Now the actor has spoken up himself. In an interview with ET Now, Wilson confirmed that Mobius will return in ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘, adding that you never know where the character is going to turn up and that there’s a lot going on in the movie. It’s a playfully vague answer, but it removes any doubt about whether he’s in the film.
It also fits with what he has said elsewhere. Asked whether the Russo Brothers directed his new scene, Wilson told ComingSoon that “that was the Russo Brothers, and we shot that last year in London.” He added that it was fun to put on the TVA coat and tie that Mobius wears.
The first official proof came in ‘Avengers: Endgame Encore’. Wilson’s scene is its second post-credits scene, shifting to Mobius walking through the office with a coffee mug in hand as he glances at the control panel. His verdict is simple: “This doesn’t look too good.”
That’s an understatement. Casey, played by Eugene Cordero, flags 2 colliding Earths, and Ke Huy Quan’s O.B. then realizes the whole multiverse is collapsing. The 90-second scene plays in premium-format screenings of the re-release.
The Russo Brothers have stressed that it matters. They said the scene is critical to the storytelling of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.
The return also seems to undo his ‘Loki’ goodbye. The Direct argues that the ‘Encore’ scene seemingly retcons his exit, though it notes Mobius only said he’d wait a little bit, and that his pause lasted about 3 real-life years. Whether the film explains what pulled him back remains to be seen.
The TVA itself has changed too. It stopped pruning timelines at the end of the second season and took on a watchdog role, and it is reportedly returning in full force with a new logo. One rumor even suggests the TVA could come under attack, possibly with Doctor Doom taking over the timelines Loki holds, though that remains speculation.
Mobius isn’t alone. Marvel has officially confirmed Tom Hiddleston’s Loki as part of Sam Wilson’s team of heroes. Wilson, Quan and Cordero are all making their theatrical debuts in the MCU, with Tara Strong also heard as Miss Minutes, and Wunmi Mosaku’s Hunter B-15 is reportedly returning as well.
Not every detail is verified. One leaker has claimed that Mobius has a minimal role watching a hole in the wall, but that remains unconfirmed, and Wilson’s own teasing suggests we shouldn’t take any single claim at face value.
It’s almost time. ⏰ Watch the brand-new trailer for Marvel Studios’ #Loki Season 2, an Original series, streaming October 6 on @DisneyPlus. https://t.co/2z7PNp3vta

The stakes around him are enormous. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is scheduled to be released in the United States on December 18, with the Russos directing from a script by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely. The film features heroes from 3 different universes converging to face Doctor Doom.
