If we all had to list our favourite characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you can bet your bottom dollar that Tom Hiddleston's Loki would easily find his way into most people's top five. That's not just a testament to how well Hiddleston played the role, it's a mere example of how popular he is. And that's why Marvel Studios were wise to give their tenured show-stealing trickster a spin-off series in which he doesn't have to share the spotlight with anyone else.

Set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, the Disney+ series will follow the 2012 version of Loki - y'know.... the one that never atoned for his crimes, grew quite fond of his brother and wasn't killed by Thanos - meaning that we're in for a ton of deliciously evil shenanigans throughout the time-sphere from the MCU's god of mischief.

With the Tesseract once again at his disposal, this time aberration will at least temporarily find himself at the mercy of the TVA - Time Variance Authority - where he will no doubt be reprimanded for messing up the timeline, but if you've seen the Thor (and The Avengers) films, you'll know that Loki loves a bit of controversy.

Like other Disney+ Marvel offerings, the show will consist of six episodes and it's expected to be released early next year.

A time-traveling spectacle from the MCU's greatest antihero? What more could you ask for, really?
