All the big details

Loki TV show release date

No release date has been set for Marvel's Loki TV series, though we do know it'll be available within the first year on Disney+.

Incidentally, Disney+ will also be home to other Marvel TV shows, including The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and WandaVision.

Loki TV show cast

As far as we know, only Tom Hiddleston is confirmed to return as the titular character Loki. Whether other characters who have close ties to Loki, such as Thor, will appear in the show remains to be seen.

Loki TV show plot

An official plot hasn't been revealed by Marvel. However, rumors are floating around about the show chronicling Loki's influence over major historical events, kind of like Forrest Gump.

Which events Loki will be involved in are unclear. Apparently, the show's pilot is being written by Rick & Morty's Michael Waldron, who should know a thing or two about humor and complex narratives.

How Avengers: Endgame will affect the show

Although Marvel hasn't revealed an official plot, we have an idea of what could happen. In Avengers: Endgame, Loki briefly shows up at the Battle of New York, when Tony Stark and Steve Rogers travel back in time.

When their plan to acquire the Tesseract goes south, Loki gets his hands on the cube and disappears—but where (and when) he goes is unclear. If the time travel theory plays out, we could see him show up at significant events throughout human history.

Our question is which events will be try to influence? And will anyone from the Avengers attempt to stop him?

At the end of Avengers: Endgame, nobody seemed all that concerned with Loki once again acquiring the Tesseract. Remember, this is the evil version of Loki who wanted to subjugate mankind. You know, before he became a hero at the end of Thor: Ragnarok.

If an evil Loki is traveling through time, you can count on him being up to no good and possibly try to put himself in power. It looks like Thor will be busy with the Guardians, so who will try to stop the God of Mischief from wreaking havoc?

Hopefully, Disney will give us insight into those questions soon.
