Calling all Marvel fans! Marvel Studios’ “Loki” is back! An original live-action series created exclusively for Disney+, features the mercurial God of Mischief as he steps out of his brother’s shadow. The series, described as a crime-thriller meets epic-adventure, takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.” This series breaks new ground for the Marvel Cinematic Universe before it, and lays the groundwork for things to come. 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.

The starting point of the series is the moment in “Avengers: Endgame” when the 2012 Loki takes the Tesseract—from there Loki lands in the hands of the Time Variance Authority (TVA), which is outside of the timeline, concurrent to the current day Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In his cross-timeline journey, Loki finds himself a fish out of water as he tries to navigate—and manipulate—his way through the bureaucratic nightmare that is the Time Variance Authority and its by-the-numbers mentality.

This is Loki as you have never seen him. Stripped of his self- proclaimed majesty but with his ego still intact, he faces consequences he never thought could happen to such a supreme being as himself. In that, there is a lot of humor as he is taken down a few pegs and struggles to find his footing in the unforgiving bureaucracy of the Time Variance Authority.

As the series progresses, we see different sides of Loki as he is drawn into helping to solve a serious crime with an agent of the TVA, Mobius, who needs his “unique Loki perspective” to locate the culprits and mend the timeline. Only Loki can help…or maybe not. It remains to be seen. No matter what, this is one adventure you won’t want to miss out on in the Marvel Universe!
