About The TV Series

Loki is an upcoming American television series created by Michael Waldron for the streaming service Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it shares continuity with the films of the franchise and takes place after the events of the film Avengers: Endgame (2019), in which an alternate version of Loki created a new timeline. Loki is produced by Marvel Studios, with Waldron serving as head writer and Kate Herron directing for the first season.

Tom Hiddleston reprises his role as Loki from the film series, with Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Wunmi Mosaku also starring. By September 2018, Marvel Studios was developing a number of limited series for Disney+, centered on supporting characters from the MCU films. Loki was confirmed in November 2018, along with Hiddleston's involvement. Waldron was hired in February 2019, and Herron had joined by that August. Filming began in January 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia, but was halted in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Production resumed in September 2020 and completed that December.

Loki is scheduled to premiere on June 9, 2021, and will consist of six episodes. It will be part of Phase Four of the MCU. A second season is in development.

Premise

After stealing the Tesseract during the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), an alternate version of Loki is brought to the mysterious Time Variance Authority (TVA), a bureaucratic organization that exists outside of time and space and monitors the timeline. They give Loki a choice: face being deleted from existence due to being a "time variant", or help fix the timeline and stop a greater threat. Loki ends up trapped in his own crime thriller, traveling through time and altering human history.

Cast And Characters

Tom Hiddleston as Loki: Thor's adopted brother and the god of mischief, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name. This is an alternate, "time variant" version of Loki who created a new timeline in Avengers: Endgame (2019) beginning in 2012. Because of this, he has not gone through the events of Thor: The Dark World (2013) or Thor: Ragnarok (2017) which reformed the previously villainous character before his death in Avengers: Infinity War (2018).
Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius: A member of the Time Variance Authority (TVA). Hiddleston helped Wilson prepare for the role by explaining and showing him moments from the MCU, which Wilson felt was useful for when Mobius is interviewing Loki.Mobius's look in the series is meant to resemble Marvel Comics editor Mark Gruenwald, who was Marvel's "top continuity expert"; in the comics, each member of the TVA was meant to be a clone of Gruenwald.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Lexus Renslayer: A member of the TVA who serves as one of its judges.
Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15: A member of the TVA.

Additionally, Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant, Sasha Lane, Erika Coleman, and Eugene Cordero have been cast in undisclosed roles.

Production

Development

By September 2018, Marvel Studios was developing several limited series for its parent company Disney's streaming service, Disney+, to be centered on supporting characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe films who had not starred in their own films, such as Loki; the actors who portrayed the characters in the films were expected to reprise their roles for the limited series. The series were expected to be six to eight episodes each and have a "hefty [budget] rivaling those of a major studio production". The series would be produced by Marvel Studios, rather than Marvel Television which produced previous television series in the MCU. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was believed to be taking a "hands-on role" in each series' development, focusing on "continuity of story" with the films and "handling" the actors who would be reprising their roles from the films.Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed in November that a series centered on Loki was in development and that Tom Hiddleston was expected to reprise his role from the film series.

Michael Waldron was hired as head writer and executive producer of the series in February 2019. He was also set to write the first episode. The series was expected to follow Loki as he "pops up throughout human history as an unlikely influencer on historical events". A month later, Feige stated that Loki is over a thousand years old in the MCU films, so the series would be exploring what he has done throughout his long life. He added that the interest for Marvel Studios in making the series was to work with Hiddleston more and explore the character of Loki beyond him being a supporting character in the films.[20] Hiddleston explained in August 2019 that he had known about his cameo role in Avengers: Endgame (2019) when he filmed Loki's death for Avengers: Infinity War (2018), but he considered the latter to be the emotional end of his character arc. He then learned about the plans for a Loki series around six weeks before Infinity War was released, and kept the series a secret until its official announcement later that year. He expressed excitement about being able to change Loki in different ways by taking an earlier version of the character and "seeing him come up against more formidable opponents, the like of which he has never seen". Also that month, Kate Herron was revealed to be directing and executive producing the first season, which was confirmed to run for six episodes. The episodes will be 40–50 minutes in length. Executive producers of the series are Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Stephen Broussard, Herron, Waldron, and Hiddleston.

Development on a second season had begun by November 2020, with Waldron expected to once again be involved "in some capacity" by January 2021 as part of an overall deal with Disney. Marvel Studios producer Nate Moore, who served as an executive producer on the series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, believed Loki had "really irreverent and clever and cool" storylines that "lends itself to multiple seasons in a way where it's not a one-off"

Writing

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, and would explore the questions "where did Loki go after he picked up the Tesseract? Could Loki ever make a friend? [W]ill the sun ever shine on him again?", and what makes a person "truly good or truly bad". Waldron's pitch for the series was to create "a big, crazy, fun time adventure" that would create a "new corner" of the MCU to explore, something Herron agreed with. This included introducing the Time Variance Authority (TVA), an organization that monitors the various timelines of the Multiverse, and related characters.

Executive producer Stephen Broussard stated that in addition to the time travel element, the series would have a "man-on-the-run quality to it". Waldron also felt the series would explore the character's "struggle with identity", adding "over the first 10 years of movies, he's out of control at pivotal parts of his life, he was adopted and everything and that manifest itself through anger and spite towards his family". As well, given the nature of the work done by the TVA, the organization was "uniquely suited to hold up a mirror to Loki and make him confront who he is and who he is supposed to be". Hiddleston also felt the series was about identity and "integrating the disparate fragments of the many selves that [Loki] can be", and pointed to the series' logo, which features the "Loki" title shifting through various fonts, as an indication of this. Waldron added there would be an "unexpected" science fiction quality to the series,which also explores mysterious conspiracies and bending reality.Blade Runner (1982) and the television series Mad Men and Teletubbies served as inspirations for the series.Additionally, the four-issue comic miniseries Vote Loki served as an inspiration for one of Loki's looks in the series. According to Feige, the series will tie-into the Phase Four film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022).

Casting

With the November 2018 announcement of the series, Hiddleston was expected to reprise his role as Loki, with his involvement confirmed in February 2019 by Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan F. Horn. In November 2019, Sophia Di Martino was cast in a "highly contested" unspecified role, reported to be a female incarnation of Loki. In January 2020, Owen Wilson joined the cast as "a prominent character", followed the next month with the casting of Gugu Mbatha-Raw as the female lead Ravonna Lexus Renslayer, also said to be "a prominent character". In March 2020, Richard E. Grant was cast in an undisclosed role for a single episode of the series, and in December, Wunmi Mosaku's casting was revealed, with Mosaku playing Hunter B-15.

In September 2020, Sasha Lane was revealed to have also been cast in an undisclosed role, and by December, Jaimie Alexander had the potential to reprise her role as Sif from past Thor films. In April 2021, Eugene Cordero was revealed to be appearing in the series.

Filming

Filming began in January 2020,with Herron directing, and Autumn Durald serving as cinematographer.The series was filmed under the working titles River Cruise and Architect for the first season. Location shooting took place in the Atlanta metropolitan area throughout the month of February. On March 14, filming for the series was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Production resumed at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in September. By mid-November, approximately one more month of shooting remained; production on the series wrapped by mid-December. The Atlanta Marriott Marquis served as the Time Variance Authority's headquarters.

The second season is scheduled to begin filming in January 2022, also under the working title Architect.

Music

By January 2021, Natalie Holt was composing music for the series.

Marketing

A commercial for the series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and WandaVision was shown during Super Bowl LIV. Julia Alexander of The Verge said the footage "wasn't much" but offered "enough glimpses to tease fans". Haleigh Foutch at Collider felt of all the Super Bowl commercials, Marvel's teasers "stole the whole show" and had "a lot to get excited about". A trailer for the series was released during Disney Investor Day in December 2020. Writers for Polygon said Loki "finally feels untethered by the grounded approaches of the early Thor movies", and based on the content of the trailer and given the series deals with alternate realities, the series might try to "explain" certain phenomena such as Loki being D. B. Cooper or features worlds where urban legends such as the fictitious video game Polybius exist. John Boon writing for Entertainment Tonight called the trailer a "bonkers first look". /Film's Hoai-Tran Bui said the scenes in the trailer was "very intriguing, cryptic stuff" and was surprised to learn the series was more than "just the time-hopping series we assumed" and would deal "with mysterious conspiracies and reality-bending organizations".

In January 2021, Marvel announced their "Marvel Must Haves" program, which reveals new toys, games, books, apparel, home decor, and other merchandise related to each episode of Loki the Monday following an episode's release. A second trailer for the series was released on April 5, 2021. Charles Pulliam-Moore of io9 called the trailer "a large-scale, time-hopping adventure with the promise to be Disney+'s next big epic". Pulliam-Moore's colleague Jame Whitbrook said the trailer was "big on mystery" and was clearer than the first about the TVA's role in the series, but it was still unclear what Loki gained "beyond the chance to enact his own brand of chaos across an entire multiverse of timelines". Polygon's Austen Goslin said it appeared Loki would be visiting past memorable moments from MCU films, calling Loki "a sci-fi, reality-hopping, heist series". Bui felt this trailer gave a better understanding of how Loki would get involved with the TVA than the first trailer did.

A poster for the series was revealed in May 2021, which featured Loki, Mobius M. Mobius, Ravonna Lexus Renslayer, and Hunter B-15, as well as "Miss Minutes", the cartoon orange clock that is the TVA's mascot. Commentators were drawn to Miss Minutes, thinking it would be viewer's favorite new character, with /Film's Chris Evangelista loving the mascot despite its weirdness and not being convinced it was a clock. Erin Brady at Collider thought Miss Minutes would try to "steal Baby Yoda's thunder", while Adele Ankers of IGN believed the mascot was a hint towards the various realities the series would explore, despite not knowing what role Miss Minutes would have in the series. Two episodes of the series Marvel Studios: Legends will be released on June 4, 2021, exploring Loki and the Tesseract using footage from their MCU film appearances.
