Unlike the previous two series, 'WandaVision' and 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,' each episode of Loki will drop on Wednesdays instead of Fridays.

Cast and Characters

Disney+ series Loki stars Tom Hiddleston as the titular character while introducing Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius, an agent of TVA (Time Variance Authority). Other than the two main characters, the show has included Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Wunmi Mosaku as Ravonna Renslayer and Hunter B-15, respectively.

Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant and Erika Coleman have been cast in undisclosed roles in the series. But their roles are expected to revolve around the TVA and additionally branched timelines created for the show.

What to expect from Loki?

As mentioned already, Loki was killed in Avengers: Infinity War by the mighty Thanos, but the alternate version of the God of Mischief appeared in Avengers: End Game. The Asgardian prince fled with Tessaract through a portal, creating a branched reality.

The story of the MCU Disney+ series initiates from this point where Loki is taken into captivity by the TVA, an agency that keeps branched realities and timelines in check. Hence, due to his mischivious act, the Frost-born son of Frigga is forced to get his act together.

The series will feature tricks by Loki in the various branched realities he is made to visit by the TVA. MCU trailers often feature many fake and exciting moments, and even in Loki's trailer, the protagonist is seen donning the Avatar of D. B. Cooper and escaping through Bifrost.

To know about the context of this and many other tricks of Loki, viewers will have to tune in to Loki on Disney+ from June 9th.
