Loki Season 2 will feature an “unexpected” adventure for Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief, according to a teaser from Marvel Studios.
Loki Season 2’s post-credits scene from Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania gave viewers a preview of what to look forward to and set up a potential confrontation with Marvel’s trickster as well as a startling Kang Variant. But, the future season’s plot is being kept a secret.
Despite this, a Disney+ official trailer showed that Loki works alongside Mobius, played by Owen Wilson, as a full-fledged Temporal Variance Authority (TVA) agent. This follows the cliffhanger Season 1 finale where the individual found himself in a different organization.
Nobody knows how the Season 1 finale will impact Loki’s path in Season 2, but a recent statement from a show producer may have provided some insight.
Season 2 of Loki’s Hero’s Journey is hinted about by Marvel.
Producer of Loki and Marvel Studios’ President of Production and Development Stephen Broussard spoke as a guest on the D23: Inside Disney podcast about the anticipation for Tom Hiddleston’s role in Loki Season 2.
Initially, Broussard called loki Season 2 a “really interesting” undertaking and said it would be enjoyable to see Loki’s continuous voyage in the upcoming episodes:
Season 2 of Loki. I’d like not to say too much. It’s a lot of fun. I think the work that the team did was outstanding. Going back to our earlier discussion about the characters, I believe the most intriguing thing to tease is just sort of watching Tom [Hiddleston] and seeing Loki’s development. like a quest that never ends.”
The God of Mischief’s first season was all about “discovering that he could be more,” the Marvel producer noted, while also helping him to establish his own “new, heroic arc”:
“The first season’s path involved dismantling who he believed himself to be. Mobius basically calls him everything at the conclusion of Episode 1, you know? And at the conclusion of Episode 1, he resembles a broken man. He has seen the conclusion to his tale.
Mobius essentially asks him, “OK, are you ready to start to work?” after having revealed to him that his wonderful destiny was not what he had believed it to be. And with Loki’s new, heroic arc—in which he sort of pushes forward and finds his place—that season officially kicks off. In Asgard’s royal palace, he was always a little bit of an outsider, and Season 1 was, in my opinion, about realizing that he was capable of more.”
After that, Broussard promised that Loki’s heroic journey will continue in Loki Season 2 in “unexpected ways,” hinting that viewers would be “eager to see” how Hiddleston would develop his character in the upcoming episodes:
As a result, I can’t wait for people to embark on that adventure with Loki in Tom’s capable hands. He’s one of the most incredible actors I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Seeing him work and use his range is wonderful. The public will likely be eager to see what else he does with this figure.
Loki Season 2 will focus on the “fight for the soul of the TVA,” Hiddleston said in a previous interview with Entertainment Weekly following the Marvel Studios appearance at the D23 Fan Expo.
Season 2 is essentially a challenge or issue posed to the TVA itself, a struggle for the TVA’s very soul.
Will Season 2 Hint at Loki’s Ascension to the Avengers?
Given that Tom Hiddleston’s titular God of Mischief was made aware of how it all ends owing to He Who Remains’ ranting at the finale of Loki Season 1, the show’s conclusion solidified the concept that he is essential in the looming Multiversal war.
According to Stephen Broussard’s most recent remarks, Loki’s development will continue in Season 2 as he strives to shed his anti-hero label and become a true hero. By doing so, they may be able to work with the Avengers from Earth-616 in the future.
Loki’s expertise in the Kang division makes it logical for him to fight alongside Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in one or even both of the Avengers films. Moreover, his entrance might serve as the catalyst for the events of the crossover film by alerting the Avengers to the existence of the Council of Kings.
Furthermore, Loki’s continued heroic mission in Loki Season 2 might come down to him looking for Sylvie, played by Sophia Di Martino.
The kiss between Loki and Sylvie was one of Season 1’s unexpected moments, and it’s safe to assume that Season 2 will handle this key moment in some way. Finding Sylvie might perhaps be Loki’s primary driving force and the foundation of his heroic journey.
