Tom Hiddleston offers an update on the progress of Loki season 2. Hiddleston has played Loki in the MCU since 2011's Thor and would go on to be the main villain of The Avengers in 2012. But the character has seen significant change over the course of his MCU run and by the end of the third Thor film, Loki is practically a full-fledged hero. However, his past manipulations come back to haunt him when Thanos (Josh Brolin) kills him in the opening scene of Avengers: Infinity War.
Loki’s story does not end there, however, as Hiddleston returns to the role for a brief cameo in Avengers: Endgame that leads into a whole Disney+ series following the God of Mischief: Loki. Loki introduces the concept of Variants – different versions of the same individual from alternate universes and timelines – to the MCU. Thus, Loki’s story continues when a Variant of his is charged with crimes against the MCU’s ‘Sacred Timeline’ by the Time Variance Authority (TVA). The TVA shows Loki everything that happens in his life leading up to his death at the hands of Thanos. Therefore, Loki’s Variant can carry on the story of the MCU’s original Loki going forward.
