Marvel's Loki TV Series: Everything We Know
New story details might confirm his Infinity War fate.
Coming out of Avengers: Infinity War, it looked like we'd seen the last of Tom Hiddleston's Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, after he was strangled to death by Thanos in the opening minutes.
But fans of the slick-haired trickster needn't worry: even though he's waving goodbye to the big screen, Loki has found a new home on your closest streaming device.
More specifically, he'll be getting his own solo TV series on Disney Plus, the company's upcoming Netflix-like service that will house all of their film and TV content. It's expected to launch later this year, and as we get closer to that window, we're learning more and more about all the exciting stuff we'll be able to watch on it - including Loki's forthcoming episodic adventures.
Loki is right up there with the best characters in the MCU, so the fact that we're getting several more hours with him is great news. His ability to shape-shift and cause untold mayhem means that the show should feel fresh with each new episode, and everything we know about it so far definitely points to that being the case.
7. It's Being Made By Marvel Studios
There are already a ton of TV shows that exist within the MCU, like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Agents Of SHIELD, and Runaways. But the one thing that these shows have in common is that they're not made by Marvel Studios.
Marvel Studios is the production company that handles the MCU films, whereas those shows are all produced by Marvel Television, which is a separate operation - with a different creative team, headed up by Jeph Loeb - from Marvel Studios.
But one of the best things about Loki's show (as well as the other upcoming Disney Plus MCU shows), is that they'll all be produced by Marvel Studios. Unlike the current slate of shows under Loeb, this means that MCU mastermind Kevin Feige can have final say on the tone, story, and what characters are included.
Basically, the Loki show will feel like a true part of the MCU, because it's being made by the same people who make the films. This won't be like the Netflix shows, where all we get is a reference to the Avengers every couple of episodes: these shows will be direct extensions of the movies, rather than superfluous additions.
