There are a lot of reveals to discuss in today's episode of Loki (and don't worry, we'll be covering them all), but there's one you may have missed that came to light thanks to a throwaway line from Mobius.
Talking to Hunter B-15, he says: "You know, we've brought in Kree, Titans, vampires..." Now, that mention of Titans is certainly interesting (Thanos?), but this is the first real confirmation we've had that vampires exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It shouldn't come as too big of a surprise seeing as a Blade movie is on the way, but this is definitely a significant moment.
Outside of the Doctor Strange franchise, Marvel Studios hasn't really explored the supernatural side of the comic books, but that's clearly about to change over the next few years. This also means that vampires have been operating in secret for a long time, so has Blade been quietly hunting them, or does something happen to bring them out of the shadows? That remains to be seen.
Korg mentioned vampires in Thor: Ragnarok, but that was a punchline. Tommy Maximoff also wondered whether "Pietro" might be a vampire when he was sleeping on their couch in WandaVision; however, as that was a Halloween episode, it's clear Wanda's son was just referencing the horror movie versions of those monsters.
There's been a lot of speculation that Moon Knight will open the door to exploring the MCU's weirder side, especially with rumours persisting that we could see Werewolf by Night make an appearance.
That all remains to be seen, but who'd have guessed Loki would confirm the existence of vampires?
