With WandaVision currently wowing viewers over on Disney+, now comes confirmation on when we’ll get to see another of the big Marvel Studios series that are on the way.

As per the House of Mouse, Loki will receive its Disney+ premiere on 11 June.

The formal blurb on this hotly-anticipation series reads:

Following WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki will be the latest MCU project to shift from the big screen to small. It follows the titular God of Mischief (played by Tom Hiddleston) as he steps out of his brother’s shadow and takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. The show comes from head writer Michael Waldron and director Kate Herron and also stars Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia DiMartino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant.

From what we know so far, the focus of Loki will see Hiddleston's character in possession of the Space Stone that he swiped back during the 2012-set moments of Avengers: Endgame. From there, the suggestion is that the God of Mischief will bounce between various different major historical events using the all-powerful stone in his possession.

First and foremost for the Disney+ MCU action, WandaVision still has two episodes left to go, before the aforementioned The Falcon and the Winter Soldier premieres on the platform on 19 March.

Elsewhere, Disney also used this opportunity to quietly announce a 4 May premiere for the Star Wars: The Bad Batch animated series. That show will pick up with the genetically mutated elite clones previously seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and will also see Ming-Na Wen lend her vocals to the animated version of the Fennec Shand character she's been seen as in the Mandalorian.
