As Marvel enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the future projects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the much-discussed Avengers: Secret Wars, the recent release of Tom Hiddleston’s Loki Season 2 has only fueled the excitement. Amidst the swirling rumors and alleged buildups, one burning question remains: how will Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of Loki influence the broader MCU narrative, and what role will it play in Avengers: Secret Wars?
In an illuminating interview on the Phase Zero podcast, Kevin Wright, the executive producer of Loki, shed light on the show’s potential impact. He revealed, “As we were developing (Loki), we were kind of like, ‘Oh, in a broad sense, it would be really cool if the coming phases also ran through Loki and his choices, but in a different, unexpected way.’ It always…If we tell our story really well, the rest of the MCU will embrace it.”
This revelation solidifies Loki’s significant connection to the forthcoming Avengers: Secret Wars, as it was Sylvie, a variant of Loki, who catalyzed the ‘madness of the multiverse’ by dispatching Kang the Conqueror in a game-changing moment.
The demise of the initial Kang variant, executed by Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie in Loki’s inaugural season, triggered a cascading breakdown of the timeline, plunging it into chaos and paving the way for even greater upheaval in future projects.
While Loki’s variant certainly deserves credit for propelling the multiverse and time travel theme forward, the question arises: will Sylvie play a role in Avengers: Secret Wars or other upcoming ventures? In response to the notion that Hiddleston’s Loki is a linchpin for what lies ahead, Kevin Wright emphasized, “Sylvie has a lot of responsibility in that too, by the way, with what she’s done with the Multiverse…”
This reaffirms that Loki Season 2 is not only captivating in its own right but also serves as a critical foundation for the expansive narrative tapestry, including the highly-anticipated Avengers: Secret Wars and potentially Deadpool 3.
Fans can catch all the multiverse action as Loki Season 2 streams exclusively on Disney+.
