Loki is fast approaching, and Marvel Studios has reminded us of that with a surprise TV spot on an otherwise sleepy Sunday. There's plenty of new footage here, and a brilliant tagline: "The time for glory is NOW." However, it sounds like the clock is ticking for the villainous God of Mischief.
What that means for Loki remains to be seen, but we know his escape from 2012 has caused serious problems for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's timeline. It also means, for this Loki, the events of Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok, and Avengers: Infinity War never happened. As a result, he hasn't been redeemed and is the same villain who tried to conquer Earth at this point.
The new footage here looks amazing, anyway, and more will hopefully be revealed soon!
In Loki, the imperious God of Mischief, who, after absconding with the Tesseract, is a fish-out-of-water when he lands in a world of trouble with the bureaucratic TVA (Time Variance Authority) steps out of his brother’s shadow in a new series that takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame.
Tom Hiddleston returns as the title character, joined by Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant. Kate Herron directs Loki, and Michael Waldron is head writer. Recently, we learned the show will premiere on Disney+ on June 9th, 2021.
