Will the New MCU Saga Bring Back Loki, Gamora, and Vision, or Leave Them Gone?
As the Avengers: Endgame concluded the arc of bringing back the characters lost by the Snap, fans are still debating whether the upcoming MCU saga might bring back legendary figures like Loki, Gamora, and Vision, or if the story will leave them gone. Here, we delve into the options and possibilities based on the current state of the MCU.
Endgame: The Snapped Back
Endgame indeed dealt with the reversal of the Snap, bringing back the likes of Loki, Gamora, and Vision. However, their returns were not through the means typically associated with revival. Loki came back in the Disney series WandaVision, reconstructed as real by Wanda. Vision reunited with Tony Stark's team following a series of events in WandaVision, and Gamora's past self was reintroduced in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Why Some Are Ineligible for Return
The characters in question were either killed in other ways or don't have the means to escape their own instabilities. For example, Black Widow of 2019 cannot escape the Soul Gem, as only certain beings in the comics, such as Adam Warlock, Thanos, and Gamora during her stint in the Infinity Watch, are known to have done so. This particular method of death for Black Widow is highly unlikely to be undone in the MCU.
Current Standings and Future Potential
As of now, Vision has returned in WandaVision as a manifestation created by Wanda through the Hex, which was subsequently destroyed. However, the series also left open the possibility for the original Vision to return as White Vision, who disappeared after Hex. This suggests that there's always a chance of his reintroduction.
Regarding Gamora, her death by Thanos for the Soul Stone in Infinity War presents a significant hurdle. Her past self was either sent back to the past or vanished in Tony Stark's snap. Given the importance of the timeline and the rules of the MCU, it's highly improbable that a past version of Gamora would reappear, as it would violate her established fate.
Conclusion
Given the current state of the MCU, it seems highly unlikely that Loki, Granora, and Vision will be brought back in any significant capacity. While their story arcs were brought to a resolution in recent events, the timeline and established continuity make it challenging to reintroduce them. The current timeline already acknowledges their returns and subsequent stories, which means that leaving them gone aligns better with the narrative and the strictures of the MCU.
