Tom Hiddleston Teases 'Chaotic' Loki In Season 2

Image
In summer 2021, Marvel Studios' Loki became the first Disney+ series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be confirmed for a second full season after Season 1 came to an end. Tom Hiddleston took his God of Mischief into a chaotic adventure from start to finish in his first solo project, and even after more than a decade of service, he's far from finished with the role. Rumors pointed to Loki making some kind of appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after Season 1 finished, with the adopted Asgardian potentially in for pure chaos as the Multiverse comes apart at the seams. In the real world, Season 2 of Loki will begin filming in Hiddleston's home of London this summer, sending the anti-hero back with the TVA to fix the mess he and Sylvie helped start. ADVERTISEMENT Outside of returning characters like Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie and Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Judge Renslayer, Loki Season 2 remains largely a mystery wi...

Loki Writer Reveals Why Season 2 Could Be Even Better

Image
Season 1 of  Loki  came to an abrupt ending on Disney+ when Jonathan Majors' He Who Remains was killed by Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie, causing the Multiverse to crack open. While the six-episode arc spent a lot of time setting up the rules for the Multiverse and teasing where the MCU would go next, it was announced at the end of the final episode that Season 2 would definitely be happening. Michael Waldron served as the head writer for  Loki  and was tasked with the same role for the upcoming film  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . Both projects revolve heavily around the concept of the Multiverse, and Waldron recently revealed that the two would play off each other. After the mayhem that goes on in that movie, there's a good chance that it could turn around and connect back to Season 2 of  Loki. ADVERTISEMENT Marvel Studios brought on Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead as directors for Season 2, and they will be taking over the rein...

MCU Director Explains How Tom Hiddleston's Loki Is Similar to Moon Knight

Image
The Marvel Studios train has once again started back up, with Oscar Isaac's  Moon Knight  in full swing. With two installments out already, fans aren't even halfway through the madness of Steven Grant, Marc Spector, and the Egyptian God of the Moon himself, Khonshu. This new series is one of only a handful of Marvel projects that directly deals with Gods within the MCU. One of the more recent projects in the same boat was Tom Hiddleston's  Loki . On the surface, one wouldn't think that Moon Knight or Loki would have many any connections with each other—besides the obvious of them both being associated with Gods. Other than that, the two seem fairly far removed from each other. ADVERTISEMENT Steven Grant and Marc Spector are just a normal, everyday person cursed with the duty of being a God's Avatar, while Loki is a powerful God himself, with no one to answer to. So what further connection could these two possibly have? Well,  Moon Kni...

Classic Loki Receives Insanely Detailed Hot Toys Figure (Photos)

Thanks to Marvel Studios' Loki on Disney+, MCU fans are now all in on the concept of Variants as the franchise brought multiple versions of the iconic MCU character into the fray. "Episode 5" specifically took this concept to a whole new level for Tom Hiddleston's Disney+ show as he spent the entire runtime next to Boastful Loki, Kid, Loki, Classic Loki, and even Alligator Loki. On top of their mind-blowing in-universe introductions, these Loki Variants also make great inspiration for new merchandise, from Funko Pops! to new clothing items and everything in between. From Hiddleston's take on Loki from The Avengers being immortalized to a fan-favorite Pop! for Miss Minutes, the mech game is as strong as ever with so many new MCU additions in Loki . ADVERTISEMENT For the ultra-hardcore fans with a little more disposable income, there are also incredibly hyper-realistic figurines available to collect, like the ones seen for Chadwick ...

Loki Season 2's Unexpected Story Teased By Marvel Directors

Image
While the Multiverse is a concept about which Doctor Strange and the audience still know frighteningly little, fans would be completely in the dark about this Phase 4 focus if it wasn't for Loki on Disney+. The Tom Hiddleston-led Marvel series not only focused on the God of Mischief as he confronted himself and the Time Variance Authority (TVA), but also educated audiences on timelines, Variants, a Multiversal War, and He Who Remains.  In the final episode of the show's first season, Sylvie - a female Loki Variant and Loki's love interest - kills He Who Remains, seemingly freeing the Multiverse and its branching timelines. Meanwhile, Loki is trapped in a TVA from an alternate timeline, attempting to warn those who no longer know him about the coming of Kang the Conqueror. ADVERTISEMENT While Marvel revisited the Multiverse again in both What If...? and Spider-Man: No Way Home , whether the events of Loki are responsible for those stories i...

Tom Hiddleston's Loki Voice Actor Just Teased His Next MCU Movie

Image
Marvel Studios veteran Tom Hiddleston remains as popular as ever in the MCU as the franchise goes deeper into Phase 4. His God of Mischief, Loki, returned for a wild ride in his own Disney+ solo series, which set the stage for some Multiversal madness taking over in the near future. After making appearances in six movies, along with the Loki series and What If...? , Hiddleston is still doing his part to help the MCU. Currently, the 11-year MCU vet is preparing to film his second round of Disney+ live-action programming for Loki Season 2, which will start in London in Summer 2022. Even though the new TVA addition is alive and well and looking to redeem himself further as the Multiverse falls into chaos, his return to the big screen is still something of a mystery. ADVERTISEMENT There are certainly a few options for where Loki could make his return to theaters thanks to upcoming movies bringing magic, Asgardians, and time-and-space-traveling shenanigans ...

Marvel Lost Two Potential Loki Directors to Another Multiverse Project

Marvel Studios kick-started its Multiversal storytelling venture in 2021 with Season 1 of Tom Hiddleston's Loki on Disney+. Featuring director Kate Herron at the helm, Hiddleston's long-standing God of Mischief had the chance to finally explore his own epic solo story as he traveled through space and time. It also became the first MCU show to officially be renewed for a second season, an announcement that came immediately at the end of Episode 6. On top of Loki, Marvel has put a renewed effort into making sure that its projects for Phase 4 and beyond have the best of the best in the director's chair.

Marvel Reveals How Loki Influences Doctor Strange 2

Image
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may be a sequel to Benedict Cumberbatch's 2016 film, but it's also way more than that. Marvel Studios' first theatrical venture of 2022 is actually the culmination of several MCU Phase 4 projects to date, including WandaVision , Spider-Man: No Way Home , potentially  What If...? , and Loki' s Multiversal romps.  Set to release on May 8, 2022, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness looks to follow the Multiversal happenings of Spider-Man: No Way Home ; but for those who expected big-screen MCU projects to ignore the studio's supposed supplemental or stand-alone series on Disney+, think again.  ADVERTISEMENT In addition to Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff, fresh from her WandaVision Disney+ story, accompanying (or antagonizing?) the Sorcerer Supreme, the upcoming film was also written by Michael Waldron, who happened to have penned Loki for Disney's streaming service. In fact...

Tom Hiddleston’s Loki Receives Special New Avengers Funko Pop

Image
The Avengers  may have hit theaters a decade ago in 2012, but its impact is still affecting the MCU to this day. The film proved that comic book movies could work with not only one or two superheroes in the spotlight but six. While many fans highly regarded it as one of the major milestones in the superhero world, its success also translated to the box office, where it was the first Marvel movie to cross the $1.5 billion mark during its run in theaters. All six members of the original Avengers team went on to have a decorated MCU career. Each character has gone on to play a major role in the entirety of the Infinity Saga, with characters like Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man and Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow even sacrificing themselves for the greater good. ADVERTISEMENT Another character from  The Avengers  that kept making his presence felt throughout different points in the MCU was the movie's villain, Loki. The God of Mischief, portrayed b...

Marvel Studios is currently riding the wave of excitement coming courtesy of the promo tour for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . The movie's second full trailer came before the start of Super Bowl LVI, instantly breaking the internet in the process. With this movie tackling stories from multiple properties, including WandaVision and Loki from Disney+, the sequel could be something massive in the MCU's legacy. Both of the movie's two full trailers have provided plenty of Easter eggs and opportunities for fans to predict what's coming, particularly regarding ties to other entries in Phase 4. ADVERTISEMENT Although the headliner right now is Patrick Stewart's likely comeback as Professor X, the second trailer also provided a tease for how Doctor Strange 2 follows up on Wanda Maximoff's solo story.

Owen Wilson Teases His Return In Loki Season 2

Marvel Studios has debuted four live-action streaming shows on Disney+, but as of this writing, only one has a confirmed sophomore season:  Loki . Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief took the past summer by storm with his Multiverse-shattering adventure. While many remember  Loki  for its stunning sets, enchanting score, and Jonathan Majors' debut as He Who Remains, the show's stellar supporting cast cannot be understated. Season 1 introduced viewers to a collection of characters that didn't take long to become fan favorites. Among them was Owen Wilson's Mobius, an agent of the Time Variance Authority who specializes in investigating time criminals.  ADVERTISEMENT While rumors have swirled about Mobius returning as soon as this May in  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , his MCU future is confirmed to include at least one project.

Loki Star Teases 'Darker' Turn In Season 2

Image
Disney+ has been Marvel Studios’ secret weapon throughout 2021. The expansion that the streaming service has allowed the MCU has been incredible. On top of its four theatrical releases, fans got five additional series to continue telling new stories. The best part? They all mattered.  WandaVision showed audiences how Wanda was dealing with her grief, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier gave the world a new Captain America, and  Hawkeye  brought the Kingpin of crime back. Out of all of those, Loki was the most important. The show followed Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief after Avengers: Endgame and his unintentional timeline led to him being taken in by the Time Variance Authority. ADVERTISEMENT The organization self-proclaimed themselves to be the protectors of the Sacred Timeline—little did Loki know at the time that all the time-travel shennangians were orchestrated by the next big bad of the MCU: Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror. His second in c...

Loki Season 2 Confirmed to Bring Back Another Key Character

Image
Amongst a hoard of new MCU projects coming to Dinsey+ over the next couple of years, Marvel Studios is also in the early stages of developing Season 2 of Tom Hiddleston's Loki . Coming as the first live-action MCU show to be renewed, which came in during the credits of Season 1's final episode, the God of Mischief will be in for wild new adventures in the near future. Although Season 2 was officially confirmed in summer 2021, there are no signs pointing to when it will premiere on Disney+ or what will come in the story on screen. Following an appearance in 2022's Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness , the Time Variance Authority's newest recruit will have a Multiverse's worth of trouble to tackle as he works more closely with the bureaucratic agency.

Loki Season 2 Receives Exciting Filming Update

Tom Hiddleston's Loki opened up the door to the MCU's Multiverse upon its arrival in Summer 2021, giving the God of Mischief his first-ever Marvel solo project. Pitting Hiddleston's anti-hero in a time-jumping extravaganza alongside the Time Variance Authority, this six-episode entry took some of the franchise’s biggest steps toward expanding the universe in Phase 4. Although Marvel Studios is set to utilize Disney+ to expand the MCU for a long time to come, Loki was the first to officially be confirmed for a second season. Following Hiddleston's appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , the adopted Asgardian son will be back for another round of madness that could bring even more thrills.

Loki Scores Big With Multiple WGA Awards Noms

Image
Marvel Studios’ access to the wonderful tool that is Disney+ has enriched the Marvel Cinematic Universe in ways many thought was impossible. Characters who would never have received the spotlight or even made it on screen have now had the chance to shine. Many people thought there would be over-saturation, but the viewership of shows like WandaVision or Loki would say otherwise. It also helps that the studios’ many projects are of quality. Each one generally received favorable reviews throughout their runs and positive impressions from fans. ADVERTISEMENT The two most popular ones were, no doubt, Elizabeth Olsen’s transformation into the Scarlet Witch and Tom Hiddleston’s journey through the  Multiverse. Both shows were the king of weekly conversations amongst the internet while airing. They haven’t gone unnoticed when it comes to award potential either, as WandaVision previously won Emmys. Now it looks like both shows are up for more recognition by...

New Loki Video Shows Off Frog Thor, Asgard Illusions and More VFX

Image
After so many other Marvel Studios projects, it’s easy to forget that Tom Hiddleston headlined one of the most-watched Disney+ projects ever: Loki . The streaming series not only broke viewership records, but it was one of the most important MCU projects at the time, something Tom Hiddleston's  Spider-Man: No Way Home now holds a stick to. The show was centered around the former Avengers villain and dove deep into the unknown. After being kidnapped from his Endgame timeline, the God of Mischief was introduced to the Time Variance Authority. ADVERTISEMENT From there, he would go on to learn about Variants, pruning, the Sacred Timeline, Multiverse, and even Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror himself. The adopted Asgardian may have bitten off more than he could chew with his rebellion. Now Industrial Light & Magic has released a video going behind the curtains of how the show’s grand effects were created. Frog Thor, Asgard, and Alioth Walk int...

Loki Director Reveals Which Episode Changed the Most During Editing

Image
Before  Spider-Man: No Way Home  fully embraced the Multiversal side of the MCU, there came  Loki . The timeline-hopping Disney+ series led by Tom Hiddleston kickstarted the concept of alternate universes in Marvel Studios' playground, impacting countless MCU projects going forward. The rousing critical success from critics and fans alike has even affected releases as early as  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , which is reportedly set to feature even more cameos inspired by those of  Loki  and  No Way Home . One of these appearances may be coming from the God of Mischief himself, as Hiddleston is expected to return as Loki in the Multiversal sequel. If that wasn't enough to tie  Loki  to Benedict Cumberbatch's upcoming solo flick, what looks to be a Time Variance Authority door can be seen in the latest  Multiverse of Madness  teaser. ADVERTISEMENT While fans wait to see where Loki and co. pop up next,  Loki 's director reveal...

No Way Home Writer Explains Loki Finale Connections

Image
While Marvel Studios' Phase 4 doesn't have an announced Avengers film to build to, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and company are planting the seeds for plenty of big picture narratives. Both  The Falcon and the Winter Soldier  and  Black Widow  included the presence of the mysterious Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who appears to be assembling an Earth's Mightiest Heroes roster of her own.  WandaVision ,  Loki , and  Spider-Man: No Way Home  toyed with Multiversal concepts, and while each yielded vastly different consequences, all of those roads are leading to  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. That said, just because projects are leading into one big event doesn't mean they directly tie into one another. 2014's  Guardians of the Galaxy  and 2015's  Avengers: Age of Ultron  both featured  Avengers: Infinity War  antagonist Thanos, and while all three of those films are set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, nothing fro...
