Thespian[]

"Will has written a new play and it's about this character called Iago. There are other characters in it but really the play is about Iago."

―Loki^[src]

Loki performed Hamlet before the people of England, including his brother and sister. However, the play was disrupted when a rift opened up above them and sucked Loki towards it. Loki was saved by Captain Carter, who lassoed him back down and caught him. However, Hela was taken by the rift, making Thor the new king, and he declared Carter an enemy. Carter stole Yorick from Loki and used it to escape.

While traveling, Loki told his two companions about the next play being written by William Shakespeare, in which he would be playing the lead role, Iago. Their carriage was raided by Rogers Hood, Winter Soldier, and Ant-Man, who stole all of his treasure. While Rogers Hood was distracted by Carter, Loki fled the scene. At a court session, Loki continued to talk about his new role, but a fight broke out, so Thor told his brother to join in, but Loki claimed that he misplaced the hammer Thor got for him.^[1] During the fight, Carter accused Thor of being "more of a drama queen" than Loki, which amused Loki but further angered Thor. When Wanda-Merlin collapsed from the strain of holding back both Thor and the rift, Loki went to her, and they were together when the timeline reset.
