The trailers have provided some hints but have cleverly kept major surprises under wraps. It appears Loki will be engaging in “Time Slipping,” which not only poses issues for him but also the universe at large. Alongside Mobius and Sylvie, he embarks on a journey through time, gearing up for another encounter with Kang the Conqueror. Tom Hiddleston, in an interview, mentioned that the story from Season 1 hasn’t truly concluded, emphasizing that Loki’s character will showcase more complexity and unpredictability.
How did Loki Season 1 End?
For those needing a refresher, Season 1 followed the adventures of the 2012 Loki who escaped with the Tesseract in Endgame. This Loki was not the one who faced Thanos in Infinity War. Instead, he’s under the watchful eyes of the Time Variance Authority (TVA). As he works alongside the TVA to rectify temporal anomalies, he confronts diverse versions of himself and eventually faces the enigmatic He Who Remains. The season culminated in a game-changing climax where Loki and Sylvie overcame He Who Remains, leading to the shattering of time and space, and the birth of the multiverse.
What Impact did Loki Have on the MCU?
Loki’s journey after Avengers: Endgame shed light on an alternate reality featuring Loki Laufeyson, an iconic character portrayed by Tom Hiddleston since Thor’s release. As Loki struggles against the TVA and confronts another version of himself, the series gradually builds up to a climax revealing the true nature of He Who Remains, a variation of Kang the Conquerer. The conclusion of the series played a pivotal role in the MCU narrative, setting the stage for the multiverse and future storylines.
