Marvel's Loki TV series is set to cause mischief on Disney+ a bit earlier than expected.
Today, Tom Hiddleston interrupted an Avengers montage to announce that Loki will have a new premiere date on Disney+. Instead of triumphantly arriving on Friday, June 11, the show will launch on Wednesday, June 9th. Furthermore, new episodes of the anticipated series will air every Wednesday.
In the announcement, Hiddleston draws attention to his opinion that Loki is often ignored when it comes to Marvel montages. This aggression will not stand. After all, isn't Loki a character, nay, a hero, worth celebrating? How many times has one of Loki's selfless acts saved Thor's bacon? Would we be getting another exciting Disney+ series if Loki were not worth following onto a new adventure? When will Loki have his time to shine? Well, presumably on Wednesday, June 9th, for starters.
The series takes place after Avengers: Endgame, which saw Loki steal the Tesseract during the 2012 events of The Avengers (2012), which created an alternate timeline from the main MCU films. In the series, the Loki time-variant travels through time and alters human history.
The first season of Loki will consist of six episodes. The events of the series will tie into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Loki stars om Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Richard E. Grant. Kate Herron directs Loki, and Michael Waldron is the head writer.
