Sim, ele fez.
Com base em imagens que foram mostradas no SDCC Comic-Con (cópia de baixa qualidade aqui ), Loki é visto apresentando o Tesserato para uma figura sombria muito maior que ele. Um minuto ou mais depois, vemos Thanos vestindo uma luva com uma pedra azul brilhante embutida na junta.
Então, ou Loki recuperou o Tesseract dos destroços de Asgard antes de embarcar no navio de Thor (improvável) ou ele o tirou do cofre quando ele passou por ele (muito provavelmente).
O diretor do estúdio, Kevin Feige, deixou pouco à imaginação em uma entrevista ao Slashfilm
SF: And we also see Loki in that area. He walks by the Tesseract. When that planet blows up at the end, I assume that particular Infinity Stone is not on that planet.
Feige: You were at Comic-Con, right? Did you see the Infinity War footage?
Yeah, and Loki had the cube in his possession in the footage.
Feige: The story I’m about to tell you is nothing about the mythology, just about filmmaking, I was just talking to Hiddleston about this. When he shot that, he had the Surtur skull and he walked by and he looked at [the tessaract] but then he kept walking. And he left frame. And it was like that in the cut for a while. And nobody remembered the moment. It didn’t register with anybody. So we recut it so that Loki looks at it and then we cut away. When we showed that cut, it registered with people who knew what it was. Did he take it? He stopped, what does that mean? Which was exactly what we wanted the audience to do.
