The Disney+ Loki series will premiere on the streaming service in 2021.

CEO Bob Iger confirmed the news during Disney's annual shareholder meeting, although he didn't specify a month. We do know that the show will debut early in the year, however.

Loki plot details are still a mystery (although a recent batch of set photos did give us a bit more to go on), but the synopsis tell us that the mercurial villain (Tom Hiddleston) resumes his role as the God of Mischief in a new series that takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame.

Kate Herron will direct, while Michael Waldron is on board as head writer. The show will also feature Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Owen Wilson and Sophia Di Martino in undisclosed roles.

In related news, it was announced that Marvel has commissioned Québec City-based animation studio Squeeze to create five episodes of the Disney+ What If…? animated series, which is also set to premiere in 2021.

“Marvel was looking for a world-class animation studio to come up with a fresh and unique style that would be in keeping with their brand essence," said Squeeze CEO and co-founder Denis Doré. "We really clicked, right from our initial talks in Los Angeles last year, and they loved our proposal. I’m thrilled that our artists’ creativity and talent resonated so strongly in Hollywood.”

@MosquitoFarmer - Streaming benefits from the virus though, since self-isolation goes up

The Time Variance Authority, the multiverse, and possibly Squadron Supreme and Kang.

I thought we... already knew this... ? (especially how there's still no specific date)

Also it just occurred to me, I'm curious to see how Loki would be in different points in time, that one long ago released still seemed to confirm at least being in the late 70's at one point. It's just that, all he's got is the Tesserect, which means he can instantly travel between any two geographical points in the universe, but not time. The only real timeframe difference should be that he's not now in the "current" MCU date of 2023, but in 2012, the point in the alternate timeline from which he escaped.

@CaptCoulson - If I had to guess he runs into the TVA first and as they try to correct the timeline he steals one of their devices. Easiest explanation I can see happening.

@Mikel9608 - oh that's right, I'd forgotten from that one teaser he's involved with that one sort of "governing body" that I'd previously never heard of, but obviously has to do with time travel somehow.

@CaptCoulson - I kinda picture itas a Marvel version of Legends in a way. I could be totally wrong but from what they’ve said here & there gives me that vibe. TVA would be similar to whatever bureau Rip Hunter was working for and how they say Loki will be jumping through time wrecking havoc is like what the Legends are best at.
