Loki Series: 10 Hidden Details You Totally Missed

10. Loki's New Magic

Despite dressing like a witch, Loki hasn't really done that much magic in the MCU.

Sure he has created illusions, often disguising himself to get out of tricky situations, but that has basically been the limit to his powers. During Thor: Ragnarok he is even bested quite easily by Doctor Strange, who Loki had previous called a "second-rate sorcerer".

This blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the trailer shows that Loki can be just as effective in combat without his knives or sceptre.

Reminiscent of Wanda's magical blasts, Loki too can now produce a burst of magical energy from his hand. It's unsurprising that Loki is able to do this given his magical background but it was still a surprise nonetheless.

The more surprising factor is that it has taken over ten years of Loki on the big screen to see him use his magic in any kind of offensive way.

Hopefully, this is just a glimpse at the future potential of Loki's abilities going forward.
