Hiddleston has played Loki across the MCU, starting with “Thor” and serving as the main antagonist of Joss Whedon’s “The Avengers.” The character was killed in “Avengers: Infinity War,” but the time-travel plot of “Avengers: Endgame” opens the door for Loki to return. Disney’s official “Loki” synopsis reads: “Watch Loki—the imperious God of Mischief—who, after absconding with the Tesseract, is a fish-out-of-water when he lands in a world of trouble with the bureaucratic TVA (Time Variance Authority).”
The synopsis continues: “Marvel Studios’ “Loki” features the God of Mischief as he steps out of his brother’s shadow in a new series that takes place after the events of ‘Avengers: Endgame.’ Tom Hiddleston returns as the title character, joined by Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant.” Kate Herron directs “Loki,” and Michael Waldron is head writer. “I’ve been playing him for ten years now,” Hiddleston previously told MTV about getting his own MCU series. “I know this character now. I feel that the audience knows him. And playing him, and playing him truthfully, but presenting him with new challenges which then I’d have to change him in different ways is the most exciting aspect of it.” “Loki” begins its streaming run on Disney+ starting June 11, just ahead of the MCU returning to the big screen with the opening of “Black Widow” on July 9.
