Marvel Studios is about to embark on
the biggest year of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
since its inception in 2008. Should everything go according to plan, the series will be expanded with three new theatrical franchises,
the third untitled
Spider-Man
movie
, and
six upcoming Disney+ shows
featuring both new heroes and MCU regulars alike.
One of the continuations from the Infinity Saga announced last year will come with
Loki
, which will follow Tom Hiddleston’s fan-favorite anti-hero directly after his 2012 reality version stole the Tesseract in
Avengers: Endgame
.
The first trailer for this Disney+ series
teased a wild adventure for the God of Mischief as he travels through space, time, and possibly alternate realities.

Although
Loki
won’t release until spring 2021, the hype is already building for its debut, now coming straight from the top of Marvel Studios.

In a recent article from
the Emmy Magazine
, Marvel CCO Kevin Feige gave a small tease about starring actor Tom Hiddleston’s brilliance in the upcoming
Loki
series premiering on Disney+ in May 2021. He was cryptic about the plot and format, but he heaped praise on Hiddleston, saying
“Turning a whole show over to Tom has been a revelation. He carries every scene.”
He followed up giving insight into the dynamic between Hiddleston and co-star Owen Wilson performing lengthy scenes from the script written by
Rick and Morty
scribe Michael Waldron:

“Seeing Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson sitting across the table from each other doing fifteen pages of dialogue is amazing.”
WHAT THIS MEANS
Tom Hiddleston turned the role of Loki into one of the most popular villains/anti-heroes worldwide
after he debuted in 2011’s
Thor
, and he has been flexible and malleable as his role has changed through five MCU appearances. The
Loki
series will come as his first lead billing in the franchise, and Feige clearly has every ounce of faith that Hiddleston will shine as brilliantly as he has for the past decade.
Owen Wilson has been one of the hottest topics of discussion for this series
since he was announced as a cast member
nearly a year ago, especially helping to bring the Time Variance Authority into reality. His interaction with Loki in the trailer is already hinted at compelling banter, and Feige’s teases should mean something truly special as Loki and the TVA enter the fray together.
The format and flow of this series is still a mystery, although the trailer teases Loki using his skills once again to fit into multiple unique situations through world history. Coming as a direct spin-off from
Avengers: Endgame
and having the potential to tie into both the
Doctor Strange
and
Thor
sequels, all signs point to the God of Mischief continuing as a major player in Phase 4. All of this comes along with the recent rumor that
Jonathan Majors’ Kang The Conqueror
would make his debut in this series as well, making for an adventure of epic proportions.
