First Look at “Loki” Reveals a Post “Avengers: Endgame” World
There’s just so much news that came out of Disney’s investor presentation yesterday, and one of the most intriguing bits was this first look at Loki. We finally get a peek at what Marvel’s most maladaptive supervillain/sometimes hero—so wonderfully played by Tom Hiddleston—has been up to since we saw him sneak away with the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame.
Loki comes from Michael Waldron, a Rick and Morty producer and one of the writers on Sam Raimi’s upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The first look is bonkers, with a wonderful appearance from Owen Wilson, who has a big role to play here—just don’t ask us exactly what it is. Loki is once again captive, yet since he managed to escape punishment for his deeds in the original Avengers, he’s ended up in another timeline yet no freer. For now.
Joining Hiddleston and Wilson are Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Sasha Lane. The six-episode limited series was directed by Kate Herron. Check out the teaser here:
