There's a quick skip back to the Avengers finding the " best versions of themselves" in 2012, before the movie is interrupted by B-15. Switching over to side B, Loki's life story begins playing out the MCU timeline as it should be, beginning with scenes from Thor: The Dark World - Loki being taken to jail, the secret conversations with Frigga, and Loki indirectly causing his mother's death. The screen next switches to Phil Coulson's death (which Loki definitely would pick), before moving on to images of civilian deaths from the Battle of New York, the gala eyeball removal scene, and the dictator speech, all from The Avengers. The first episode of Loki will premiere on Disney+ on June 9, 2021. Unlike the jaunty 1946 holiday classic, Mobius has access to a handy hi-tech screen which displays Loki's "greatest hits." The footage begins with the God of Mischief's defeat and arrest in 2012's The Avengers - perhaps not an entry Loki himself would've picked for the highlight reel. Loki is filled with alternate realities, time travel, and the usual God of Mischief antics, and this reveal about the runtime should be exciting for fans who are eagerly anticipating the return of Tom Hiddlestons MCU character. In a twisted version of It's A Wonderful Life, Mobius tries to change Loki by examining his choices in the past, present and future. Here's every Easter egg we discovered in Loki's "Glorious Purpose."


Nevertheless, Michael Waldron (creator) and Kate Herron (director) pepper the 50-minute installment with an array of references to the Marvel comics, MCU history callbacks, and hints of the multiverse madness to come. Loki's premiere is predictably heavy with exposition, and relatively limited in scope, mostly taking place within the walls of TVA HQ. Related: Loki: How Many Episodes It Has (And When The Finale Is) In the opening episode, Mobius successfully digs to the root of Loki's dastardly ways, breaking him down to (presumably) build him back up, all with the aim of enlisting Loki's services as an ally to hunt down an especially vicious variant murdering the TVA's Minute Men. Evidently not ones to take prisoners, Loki's fate at the TVA looks grim, but Owen Wilson's Major Mobius intervenes, handing the silver-tongued variant a reprieve. The episode wraps up with the revelation that Mobius wants Loki’s help in tracking a murderous variant because that very variant is Loki himself, but from another rogue timeline.
LOKI EPISODE 1 SERIES
After using the Tesseract to escape The Avengers in Avengers: Endgame, Loki is swiftly picked up by the Time Variance Authority - a seemingly omniscient organization overseeing the entirety of time and space. There’s lots to take in during the show’s premiere, but the most interesting part of Loki episode 1 (in our view anyway) happens less than 15 minutes into the series: we find out how the Marvel. Loki is an American television series created by Michael Waldron for the streaming service Disney+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the character of the same name.
