Since 2008's Iron Man, Marvel Studios has introduced dozens of characters into the MCU, creating a vast shared universe with crossovers between a variety of projects. Bringing heroes and villains into multiple projects establishes a sense of interconnectivity with the MCU, yet plans for characters don't always come to fruition. Marvel Studios' bigger plans for the MCU mean that characters that writers and directors want to include often aren't available, which was exactly the case for Loki season 2.

After a significant hiatus, Loki season 2 has finally kicked off, continuing the multiverse exploration of the God of Mischief. As the MCU is moving forward with The Multiverse Saga, Loki season 2 is right now one of the most important chapters in the arc, not the least because of the return of Kang this season.

The God of Mischief made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Thor alongside his brother, and has been a staple character in the franchise since. Appropriate to his title of the God of Mischief, Loki is a powerful magic-user who is known for constantly switching between being an ally and a villain.

The first season of Loki was one of the best-reviewed MCU shows on Disney+, but the shows that have arrived since then haven't been as well received, so Loki season 2's reviews are a good sign..

]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2023 00:00:27 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-rotten-tomatoes-score-mcu-phase-5-show-redeem/ Despite making seven appearances in the MCU, Tom Hiddleston's Loki still hasn't used all of his superpowers from Marvel Comics. Tom Hiddleston debuted as Loki, the Asgardian God of Mischief, as the villain in 2011's Thor, a role that he continued in 2012's The Avengers as the titular team's first foe. Since then, Loki has seen major character development, taking him on a redemption arc throughout Thor: Ragnarok, though he met his demise at the hands of Thanos in the opening moments of Avengers: Infinity War. Despite this, Loki returned thanks to the Avengers' Time Heist in Endgame, embarking on his solo adventure in Marvel Studios' Loki series on Disney+.

Since the ending of the Infinity Saga with Avengers: Endgame, the Avengers have somewhat faded into obscurity in the MCU. Phase 4 was the first in the MCU not to feature a climactic Avengers film with the franchise opting to deal with the aftermath of Thanos' Blip and introduce new characters that will be integral going forward instead.

In Loki Season 1, Ravonna Renslayer was introduced as a TVA judge and close friend of Mobius - though their relationship was thrown into disarray in the final episode of the show. Kang, meanwhile, was depicted as The One Who Remains, the eccentric variant protector of the MCU's Sacred Timeline, who was eventually killed by Sylvie after warning both Lokis of other MCU Kang variants - who are now no doubt on their way to wreak havoc.

As season 2 of Loki gets underway, it looks as if Loki will be one of the foremost combatants against the Multiverse Saga's big-bad, Kang, joining up with the TVA and other heroes to help put a stop to his designs. This is the same Loki, of course, that readily caused death and destruction in the pursuit of his own selfish designs not long before the adventures with the TVA took place.

After the 2012 version of Tom Hiddleston's Loki escaped during the Time Heist in Avengers: Endgame, he was captured by the TVA, embarking on a new adventure in his first solo MCU outing. Marvel Studios' expansion into long-form shows on Disney+ allowed this story to unfold, beginning in Phase 4 and continuing in Phase 5 with the October 2023 premiere of Loki season 2. Loki introduced a whole new world to the MCU, with new characters, technology, and universe-changing ideas to boot.

Two years after the release of Loki season 1, Hiddleston reprised his role in Phase 5 of the MCU, picking up immediately after the events of his Phase 4 adventure. While Loki season 2, episode 1, "Ouroboros," dealt heavily with the aftermath of Sylvie killing He Who Remains, unleashing the multiverse, and the truth of the Time Variance Authority being revealed, Loki was also plagued with a new infliction, "time-slipping."

After meeting his demise at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, the Avengers' Time Heist in Endgame unleashed a variant of Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief on the MCU, and Loki season 1 saw him exploring the world of the Time Variance Authority (TVA), and coming face-to-face with Jonathan Majors' He Who Remains. If the Loki season 1 ending cliffhanger is anything to go by, season 2 will bring another helping of time travel drama to the MCU.

]]> Fri, 06 Oct 2023 12:11:25 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-release-date-story-cast/ Loki season 2 finds the Asgardian God of Mischief dealing with the problem of time-slipping - a process in the MCU that seems remarkably similar to glitching from the Spider-Verse franchise. The comparison is a fair one, given how the Spider-Verse and Loki season 2 cast both deal with the concept of a disorganized multiverse and variants traveling to times and spaces not their own. It is unclear, however, if there is a technical difference between time-slipping and glitching, or if the only difference between the two conditions is terminology.

]]> Fri, 06 Oct 2023 12:00:26 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-time-slipping-glitching/ In Loki, Judge Ravonna Renslayer, an agent with the Time Variance Authority (TVA), an organization responsible for maintaining the proper flow of time in the MCU, is played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw. Ravonna Renslayer has a wealth of comic book history to back her up as a character. Crucially, her comic history links her strongly to Kang the Conquerer, the time-traveling, multiverse-hopping villain who is set to be a large part of the MCU's upcoming future.

Loki grapples with the warning He Who Remains gave him about his death, leading to a second multiverse war as he deals with the ever-expanding branches of the "sacred timeline." With the help of new and familiar faces at the TVA, he will face questions about free will and the multiverse while also searching for Sylvie, Renslayer, and Miss Minutes.

He Who Remains was revealed as the mastermind of the TVA in the first season's finale. He warned Loki and Sylvie that his death and the destruction of the TVA would lead to another multiverse war with his own variants as their enemies. However, Sylvie still decided to kill him, potentially plunging the multiverse into chaos, in order to give herself and everyone else the free will He Who Remains deprived them of.

Victor Timely was teased in the post-credit scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania as the next variant of Kang that Loki will be dealing with. The first season ended with Sylvie killing He Who Remains after a warning about his death, leading to a new multiverse war. The MCU is setting up a major conflict with Kang at the center of it as the next Avengers-level threat in Avengers: Kang Dynasty.

The Disney+ series' status as a trend-breaker in the MCU has already been made clear by the show being the first project to really touch on the multiverse, as well as Loki being the only MCU series to this day to come back for a season 2. After providing an exciting start for the MCU's Multiverse Saga, Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief returns for another thrilling adventure through space and time, with early reactions to Loki season 2 being overwhelmingly positive.

]]> Wed, 04 Oct 2023 13:00:27 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-mcu-trend-break/ As an Asgardian god, Loki is supposed to be powerful enough to be unfazed by most threats in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but his increasingly stronger opponents have proved otherwise. Expertly portrayed by the charismatic Tom Hiddleston, Loki uses his charm and his obsession with chaos to steal the show in every one of his appearances in the MCU timeline. Without the physical might of his brother Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the God of Mischief manages to outsmart most of his enemies and allies and almost crown himself King of the Nine Realms, but even gods can overestimate their own abilities.

]]> Wed, 04 Oct 2023 13:29:59 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-mcu-marvel-movies-powers-strengths-abilities/ After the release of Phase 5's Loki season 2, it's possible that the God of Mischief's MCU journey could continue in season 3 of his popular solo Disney+ series. Tom Hiddleston has portrayed Loki since 2011's Thor, initially depicted as a villain in the MCU, but eventually going through a redemptive arc that has now seen him become one of the most integral heroes to the Multiverse Saga. Marvel Studios' expansion onto Disney+ in Phase 4 saw Loki receive his first solo project, and Loki has been heralded as one of Phase 4's strongest additions, focusing on the variant of Loki who escaped from 2012 during Avengers: Endgame's Time Heist.

]]> Wed, 04 Oct 2023 12:00:24 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-3-news-updates-story/ Loki executive producer Kevin Wright discusses the evolution of Loki throughout the series and how his reunion with Thor could go in the future. Thor last saw Loki when he was killed by Thanos, but this version of Loki is not the one that he remembers. This version of Loki has had a completely different experience branching off after the events of Avengers. However, much like the Loki Thor knew, he has gone through drastic changes and grown from these experiences, including watching his life play out from the moment he branched off the sacred timeline until his death.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 19:15:27 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-thor-reunion-season-2-ep-comments/ Marvel Studios has teased Loki's future in the MCU, one that could one day include a future reunion with Thor (Chris Hemsworth). With Loki season 2 set to premiere soon featuring the next chapter of the God of Mischief's adventures with the Time Variance Authority, new insights have been revealed regarding the ultimate endgame for Tom Hiddleston's Loki. Now, it's been hinted that the sun may indeed shine on the Sons of Odin once again in the MCU.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 16:16:34 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-zaniac-marvel-comics-origin-powers-brad-wolfe/ The first social media reactions for Loki season 2 have arrived, teasing what fans can expect from the Marvel Cinematic Universe's returning series. Tom Hiddleston is back to lead Loki season 2's cast on another mind-bending adventure that will put Loki, Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie, and Owen Wilson's Mobius M. Mobius on a collision course with the Kang the Conqueror variant known as Victor Timely.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 14:38:59 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-first-reactions-social-media/ One villain from Phase 4 of the MCU has been confirmed to be returning in Loki season 2. Loki season 1's finale ended with the announcement that season 2 was already in development, with the entire principal cast returning for the continuation of the God of Mischief's Disney+ adventure. Set to premiere on October 5, 2023, Tom Hiddleston's Loki and Owen Wilson's Mobius will be investigating the damage to the Sacred Timeline and Kang the Conqueror's variants in Loki season 2, with Jonathan Majors returning to the MCU as a new Kang variant, Victor Timely, and potentially bringing even more villainous variants to the MCU's Phase 5.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 13:50:25 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-he-who-remains-kang-return-confirmed/ Throughout the many appearances of Loki in the MCU, his powers and abilities have been all over the map; here's what they are and how they work explained. While quite powerful in magical abilities in the comics (though admittedly more of a master manipulator than anything), the MCU timeline has showcased this only sporadically, which, in a way, makes sense. Loki hasn't been the titular character of his own movies, and he was the villain back in the MCU Phase 1 when Marvel was focused on establishing their heroes over their villains. As such, it's easy to forget that Loki actually has some rather formidable abilities, as there are still aspects about the character's powers that are unclear going into Loki season 2 over a decade after his MCU introduction.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 13:11:25 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-powers-abilities-explained-mcu-different-comics-how/ Throughout his time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Loki has often found himself at a crossroads — hero or villain, brother or rival, son or successor. Now, Loki season 2 returns at a time when Marvel Studios and the industry it has dominated for the last decade or so is also at a crossroads. Writers have just scored a fair deal after a historic labor movement, actors will return to the table with the AMPTP soon, and Marvel VFX workers have just voted to unionize after reports of horrible working conditions. The future of the MCU itself is also in question and in some ways, it's a miracle that Loki season 2 even exists. Much of Phases 4 and 5 have been filled with promises that may go unfulfilled — will we see Charlize Theron's Clea or Harry Styles' Eros again in this decade, if ever?

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 13:00:27 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-review/ Jonathan Majors' arrest didn't change Loki season 2's plans, as revealed by an official statement. When Tom Hiddleston comes back as Loki, he will be joined by multiple returning actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe show's first season. One of Loki season 2's returning cast members is Majors, who will give life to Victor Timely — a Kang the Conqueror variant — in the new season. However, due to Majors' arrest on assault charges in March, it once seemed like Loki season 2's original plans would have to be changed.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 12:26:36 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-jonathan-majors-arrest-didnt-affect-response/ Loki season 2 does not start with a time jump, despite being released two years later, and there is a good explanation for that. The Marvel Cinematic Universe series will once again follow Tom Hiddleston's Loki variant that originated in Avengers: Endgame, with Hiddleston leading an exciting Loki season 2 cast that will see multiple actors return from the show's first year, as well as the addition of Ke Huy Quan as O.B. and more. With critics screening the first four episodes of the Disney+ series, it has been confirmed that Loki season 2 has no time jump.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 11:20:45 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-no-time-jump-why/ Loki season 2 is set to release as part of Phase 5, bringing the God of Mischief back to the MCU and explaining the multiverse even more. The development of Loki season 2 was confirmed in season 1's finale, and since then, most of Loki's cast and characters have been confirmed to be returning. Loki season 1 released in the MCU's Phase 4, and marked the first time Marvel Studios explored the multiverse. After Sylvie killed He Who Remains and unraveled the Sacred Timeline, subsequent MCU projects have been picking up the pieces, and Loki season 2 will be no exception, picking up immediately after the events of season 1.

]]> Mon, 02 Oct 2023 17:10:30 GMT https://screenrant.com/how-many-episodes-loki-season-2/ With Loki only further solidifying the titular God of Mischief as an MCU hero, the character's villain origins from Phase 1 can sometimes be forgotten. Since 2013's Thor: The Dark World, Loki has been positioned as a morally gray anti-hero before being shifted into a full-blown hero by the time of Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War. Given so much of Loki's MCU story has centered on his transition from villain to hero, oftentimes his stint as the former villain character archetype in the franchise can be forgotten.

]]> Mon, 02 Oct 2023 13:31:26 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-mcu-evil-origin/ Loki season 2 is almost here, providing the next chapter for the iconic God of Mischief. Although the original Loki was killed in Avengers: Infinity War, Loki's story has still continued thanks to the Avengers' use of time travel in Endgame. Recruited by the Time Variance Authority, Loki has now gained a major role in the exploration of Marvel's multiverse.

]]> Sat, 30 Sep 2023 22:21:27 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-story-recap/ New art promoting Marvel Studios' Loki season 2 sees Andrew Garfield return to the MCU as his version of Peter Parker from Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man film series. Andrew Garfield debuted as Peter Parker in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man, taking over the role from Tobey Maguire in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. While Garfield only portrayed the wall-crawler in two films, his depiction of Spider-Man has been praised, particularly after he and Maguire appeared in the MCU timeline alongside the Tom Holland in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Since his reappearance, there have been calls for Garfield to return as Spider-Man, whether that be in The Amazing Spider-Man 3 or in a future MCU project.

]]> Fri, 29 Sep 2023 15:41:28 GMT https://screenrant.com/andrew-garfield-spider-man-loki-season-2-fan-art/ Victor Timely has been set up as a key antagonist in Marvel's Loki season 2. Having been teased in the post-credits scene for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Victor Timely appears to be one of many multiversal variants of Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors). Just like He Who Remains in Loki's first season, Timely will likely play a major role in this new season and will likely leave a major impact on the MCU's future at large.

]]> Thu, 28 Sep 2023 21:30:26 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-villain-victor-timely-powers-comics-explained/ A new deleted scene from Loki reveals the full look at Chris Hemsworth's weirdest Marvel Cinematic Universe cameo as Thor. Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief encountered many of his variants in Loki season 1, but a Thor variant was kept as an Easter Egg. With Loki season 2's release date looming, a new deleted scene from the MCU show's first season finally sees the full footage of Hemsworth's role as a peculiar Thor variant.

]]> Wed, 27 Sep 2023 14:13:31 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-sseason-1-deleted-footage-chris-hemsworth-mcu-cameo-throg/ Loki season 2 could fix a surprising statistic that dates back 10 years in the MCU. Before his solo show that brought Loki back from a previous point in time, the God of Mischief's journey lasted almost a decade. Between his debut in 2011's Thor to his surprising death in 2018's Avengers: Infinity War, Loki underwent one of the more intriguing character arcs in the entire MCU.

]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2023 13:00:25 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-never-winning-fights-mcu-streak-explained/ A female variant of Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief debuted in Phase 4's Loki, but the actor previously predicted someone else would assume the role, and this may have solved an issue with one brilliant supporting character in the MCU. Tom Hiddleston is quickly becoming one of the MCU's longest-running actors, having appeared in nine Marvel Studios projects over a span of twelve years, debuting in 2011's Thor and returning in Phase 5's Loki season 2. Loki has seen more development than many characters in the MCU, culminating in him coming face-to-face with multiversal variants of himself in Phase 4, including a female variant adapted from Marvel Comics' Lady Loki.

]]> Sun, 24 Sep 2023 16:00:25 GMT https://screenrant.com/tom-hiddleston-lady-loki-casting-lady-sif-jaimie-alexander/ Loki season 2 continues the God of Mischief's MCU journey after six movies, one show, and one key post-credits appearance. Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief has gone through a long and complex character development since his MCU debut, going from a jealous brother to a powerful villain and ultimately to a selfless hero. Every crime and heroic deed Loki has committed in his extremely long lifespan has informed his motivations ahead of Loki season 2, and his guilt pushes him to protect the entire multiverse from a much bigger threat than him.

]]> Sat, 23 Sep 2023 21:10:22 GMT https://screenrant.com/mcu-movies-shows-watch-before-loki-season-2/ Loki episode 6 brought about a suitably grand ending for the Marvel Cinematic Universe series - but also masterfully set up for Loki season 2 and the franchise's wider future. Through season 1's six episodes, audiences witnessed the new "main" Loki variant learn about the nature of the multiverse, the Sacred Timeline, and the Time Variance Authority, with the show slowly making clear that the TVA wasn't quite what it initially appeared to be.

]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2023 15:40:23 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-finale-ending-meaning-explained-statue-kang-multiverse-timeline/ The new Loki season 2 poster is drawing negative reactions from Marvel fans, who are comparing the image of Tom Hiddleston to a Hot Toys figure of his Marvel Cinematic Universe character. Loki season 2 is set to premiere on Disney+ in just about two weeks, so marketing for the MCU show is in full swing, with an official trailer having been released along with a few posters. However, the latest marketing effort from Marvel Studios and Disney+ hasn't had the most positive reception.

]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2023 20:23:58 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-poster-reactions-marvel-fans/ One fan theory may explain what Sylvie's Nexus Event was in Loki season 1, which could hint at a tragic reality for all Loki variants in the MCU. Phase 4's Loki season 1 introduced the concept of the multiverse to the MCU, as Tom Hiddleston's titular God of Mischief was captured by the Time Variance Authority (TVA) after escaping following the Battle of New York during the Avengers' Time Heist. By exploring the multiverse, Loki introduced several alternate versions of Loki to the MCU, including Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie, a Loki variant who harbored a vendetta against the TVA and its enigmatic rulers, the Time Keepers.

]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2023 12:30:23 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-sylvie-tragic-origin-theory-explained/ The upcoming release of Loki season 2 can finally answer several questions that were left unanswered at the end of Loki season 1 in the MCU Phase 4. It's been over two years since Marvel Studios premiered Loki season 1 on Disney+, focusing on the version of Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief who escaped from the Avengers' clutches during the Time Heist in Avengers: Endgame. Loki introduced the concept of the multiverse in the MCU, which has since been explored in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. This will be developed more in Phase 5's Loki season 2.

]]> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 16:40:24 GMT https://screenrant.com/questions-loki-season-2-can-answer/ Disney+ is making a slight but historic change to the Loki season 2 release time as the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show gets an earlier launch. While most MCU shows on Disney+ have only gotten to air one season, Loki season 2 is breaking that trend as Tom Hiddleston's character returns this fall to the small screen. Loki season 2 is the penultimate MCU show for 2023, as What If...? season 2 is reportedly set to premiere in late December. However, given Loki's significance in the Multiverse Saga, the new season will be extremely crucial as they go forward in the overarching storytelling involving Kang.

]]> Mon, 18 Sep 2023 15:07:39 GMT https://screenrant.com/loki-season-2-release-time-disney-plus/ One major MCU theory suggests the multiverse may be destroyed long before Avengers: Secret Wars, but a new concept will be introduced to replace it in Phase 5. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirmed the development of Avengers: Secret Wars at SDCC 2022, revealing that the crossover project will be bringing the Multiverse Saga to a close. Originally slated for release at the end of 2025, Secret Wars has since been pushed to May 2027. While Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron is penning the script, not much is known about Secret Wars' storyline, though the pages of Marvel Comics could provide some hints.
