Before Marvel announced Thor: Ragnarok as the third Thor movie going into production, rumors that the Ragnarok storyline would be used had already surfaced. There was an interview with Movie Web about a year ago in which Tom Hiddleston talked about a potential Ragnarok story. He agreed that Thor's story would follow the apocalyptic plotline, saying, "There's obviously no script or anything. When I read the comic books, I thought it was an interesting way to go."
The script for the confirmed storyline is currently being written by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle. Yost recently hinted at the fact that some main characters are probably going to be killed off. Now we've learned from Hiddleston that Loki's wife Sigyn could be a part of the story. Here's what he says:
"In the myth, he has a wife called Sigyn who protects him from a poison serpent who is dripping venom into his mouth. And she has a bowl over his mouth and of course the bowl keeps filling up and she has to empty it, and so his damnation could be interesting. I don't know...I mean, Loki is a character who's existed in popular consciousness for 3,000 years, so there are many, many iterations I could explore...It's just a question of whether audiences would want to see him again."
There's no confirmation that Sigyn will be involved in the story, but it would sure make for an interesting dynamic. Her importance to Norse mythology is that she was Loki's protective wife, who comforted him when he was in bondage for his misdeeds. Hiddleston explains above, how she saved him from the torture in which snake venom was being dripped into Loki's mouth. During that time Signy held a bowl over his mouth to spare him the violent convulsions the venom would cause. It's when she goes to empty the bowl that the snake venom drops into Loki's mouth throwing him into such extreme pain that he breaks free, and that's where Raganok, which is a world ending battle of the gods, begins.
Regardless of if Sigyn is involved with Thor: Ragnarok or not, it's still most likely going to end up being an amazing movie. The inclusion of the character would definitely add an interesting spark.
