LOKI Will Return For A Second Season - Is There A Chance Those Episode Have Already Been Shot?

We'll be placing this one in the TVA's "theory" file for now, but there is quite a bit of speculation online that the second season of Loki is already in the can, along with some reasonably compelling evidence to back it up.

Mild spoilers follow.

Wednesday's finale, "For All Time. Always.", concluded with the reveal that the Disney+ series will indeed return for a sophomore run, but some believe we may not be waiting too long to find out how the God of Mischief's story is going to continue.

For starters, there were several shots from trailers with "King Loki" that never featured in the first 6 episodes. While this wouldn't be unusual on its own (we see it all the time, after all), a resurfaced interview with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Clarke Gregg adds some fuel to the fire.

In the interview, Gregg reveals that Tom Hiddleston was: "Working on 10 or 12 episodes the way Tom Hiddleston told me he was doing [on 'Loki'] with that kind of budget and that Marvel Cinematic production team." He could simply have picked up his Avengers costar wrong, of course, but there's more.

Hiddleston recently revealed to Jimmy Kimmel that he was still filming Loki during his 40th birthday, but the show "officially" wrapped late last year, and the actor's birthday lands on February 9, 2021.

Is it possible that up to 12 episodes of Loki were filmed before Marvel made the decision to split them in half and debut them as separate seasons? Let us know what you make of this theory in the usual place.

Yes, they definitely shot more episodes. I'm thinking they'll announce season 2's release date really soon and it will be out in 2022 sometime. Probably next Summer

I don't think Marvel could have pulled that off that level of coordination and movie tie-ins with the added uncertainty of covid scheduling.

But I do think a lot of hit streaming shows would benefit from filming two seasons at a time. Then slowly playing the season releases to buy 3 years to get the next 2 seasons ready.

The Stranger Things kids will be 30 before that show wraps up.

I actually remember they filmed in London, and New York? And it was in a modern setting, so maybe they did film more episodes?

Did anyone remember some set photos or whatever of Loki walking down a street in the 70s outside a theatre with JAWS playing?

As a cost-saving initiative on a production that has quite a bit of visual special effects, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to film it all at once as a way to "buy in bulk" and save some money. Just like the move to Wednesdays thing, starting a second season earlier would be a mischievous Loki-like move.

Maybe we'll get Classic Loki back for an episode, or he could show up in another character's movie, like Captain Marvel.

I think we might have to wait two years, considering how many other shows are also in development or production. Those scenes in the trailers are probably misdirects.

I think the rumor on season 2 already being shot is crap. Folks point to the King Loki scenes as evidence. Well, could those scenes be ones deleted from the finale? Miss Minutes mentions to Loki he could be installed as ruler of Asgard and he could had won the battle of New York. The King Loki shots could had been during that conversation. But instead of showing us, the producers just used Miss Minutes exposition instead.
