LOKI Spoilers: The God Of Mischief's New MCU Role May Have Been Revealed And It's A Game-Changer

A combination of leaked promo art and yesterday's mid-season trailer has led to speculation online that Loki season 2 is set to give the God of Mischief a crazy new role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

With only two episodes of Loki left, theories and speculation about how the series will end are all over social media. Over the weekend, some promo art surfaced showcasing the God of Mischief's new costume and, after yesterday's mid-season trailer, some fans are beginning to piece this puzzle together. 

As you can see in the post below, those green tendrils of energy flowing throughout the Multiverse appear to be emanating from Loki and his new costume. 

The Asgardian also seems to be in He Who Remains' Citadel at the End of Time (look at the glowing cracks on the steps), suggesting Thor's adoptive brother will ultimately take Kang's place as ruler of, not a singular Sacred Timeline, but the entire Multiverse. 

We're sure there will be more to it than that - we're curious how it happens and what it means for the Multiverse Saga moving forward - though this is still a game-changing move. It's also a strong indication Loki will be a crucial part of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars

Don't forget, He Who Remains wanted Loki to take his place after growing tired of keeping an eye on the Sacred Timeline. That wish now looks set to become a reality, though Loki wouldn't be Loki if he didn't do things his way (and in this case, it could be allowing the Multiverse Saga to flourish). 

Do you think Loki is about to become the Multiverse's new ruler? Feel free to let us know your thoughts and theories in the comments section below.

Loki season 2 will pick up in the aftermath of the shocking season finale when Loki finds himself in a battle for the soul of the Time Variance Authority. Along with Mobius, Hunter B-15 and a team of new and returning characters, Loki navigates an ever-expanding and increasingly dangerous multiverse in search of Sylvie, Judge Renslayer, Miss Minutes and the truth of what it means to possess free will and glorious purpose.

The series stars Tom Hiddleston, Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Eugene Cordero, Rafael Casal, Tara Strong, Kate Dickie, Liz Carr, Neil Ellice, with Jonathan Majors, Ke Huy Quan and Owen Wilson.

Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Dan Deleeuw and Kasra Farahani direct episodes. The Head Writer is Eric Martin.

The first four episodes of Loki season 2 are now streaming on Disney+.

It’ll just end with Kang’s version of this

@FireandBlood - Imagine if this becomes the running gag of the MCU. In every saga, some version of Loki finds redemption but is ultimately killed by the big bad.

Glorious purpose indeed

...like what would that even mean? Kang at least made sure the timeline didn't splinter off into a multiverse.

What's loki supposed to do with an entire multiverse?

@Origame - this is what happens when you have no real planned story and your new villain beats women.

@McMurdo - while I do not agree with your assessment of Majors, I WILL ABSOLUTELY agree that if they utilize Hiddleston as a backup, rebound f&ck, then Feige has completely lost the pulse

I mean, I predicted that here months ago as an alternative to Kang.

@SATW42 - I predicted him as the beyonder. Not necessarily as the he who remains

I don't like any of this. Trying to turn Loki into a hero through all this multiverse nonsense just doesn't work for me.

@DocSpock - Arguably, this doesn't make him a hero at all to become the He Who Remains. It's very GREY area as he has to make calls that are neither good or bad. Genocide and death and sadness etc will still be apart of the timeline that ultimately he would approve for the sake of the flow. When you think about that, it's very LOKI. Complex grey area.

So hopefully Loki will be back as the Loki we know and love...

@marvel72 - hopefully, there was a moment in the last episode which may have teased this: "we are gods"

Figure he'd maybe be on his way to being Avengers Prime like the comic (shrugs).

If y'all are up to date on your comic lore, Loki is the God of Stories now, meaning he can pretty much manipulate the course of history going forward to his whim. Maybe that's the route they're taking.

@comicfan100 - If y'all are up to date on your comic lore, perhaps you could know that Loki's girlfriend is named Sigyn, he's the main villain of the story of Ragnarok, and Hela is his daughter, not sister.

comicfan100 - 10/31/2023, 4:37 PM
@URCOMMENTSUCKS - And this slightly passive aggressive comment is because?...
URCOMMENTSUCKS
URCOMMENTSUCKS - 11/1/2023, 2:17 PM
@comicfan100 - the MCU ain't following the comics. Especially stuff as obscure as you just mentioned, which even I didn't know about because I checked out of Loki stuff in the comics after the Kid Loki.

It will be awesome if this was his plan all along.

God of mischief indeed.

@Fogs - all together now "it was Loki all along!"

Honestly it will feel a bit tagged on to me but fine if they do it
URCOMMENTSUCKS
URCOMMENTSUCKS - 10/31/2023, 4:10 PM
How can one [frick] up such a basic character as Loki? The MCU have glassed over or completely changed things that are integral to his character, such as him being the father of the three monstrous children *HELA IS HIS DAUGHTER, NOT SISTER HE NEVER MET, MCU) and would bring on the Ragnarok as the villain, but then made up complete bullshit that has no precedent in the comics.

You gave him a made-up girlfriend who is merely a female version of himself when in the comics he has a [frick]ing wife that you could've given him since he was first introduced.

God, I wish for that reboot to come sooner.

@URCOMMENTSUCKS - What's with you... Now you are just making noise by imposing your opinion. If you don't like the show stop watching and move on, instead making noise like a kid who is desperate for Attention... move on...

Maybe the big surprise is that Thor will appear and be an awesome demigod again instead of being an idiot jokester Waititi ruined doofus.

It would be cool to see Loki in his actual Loki outfit sometime this season. 🤷‍♂️
