Hardly 3 seasons.
Despite what the latest season 2 finale revealed, Loki Season 3 will take place in the future, though not through traditional means. Tom Hiddleston has had quite the journey with Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From their debut in 2011 Thor shedding his image as a god of mischief as a villain and dying for his brother Thor Avengers: Infinity Warthe original Loki has changed a lot. This later transitioned to a Loki variant that would play a successful role on Disney+ Loki series. Loki The end of season 2 wrapped up one of the MCU's best character arcsWith Hiddleston's character becoming a powerful presence.
The name God of Mischief is no longer the best fit for Loki. The character went from selfish to altruistic in a remarkable way, condemning himself to a life of solitude while watching the various threads of the multiverse on his own. This led to sacrifice Loki becomes the MCU's God of Storiesand given his predicament at the end of the series, the possibility of Loki returning to the MCU is up in the air. That said, even if its lead character isn't coming back, sort of Loki Season 3 will enter the MCU in the coming years through a major project.
Avengers: Doomsday is Loki Season 3 of the MCU
The MCU has made Loki the Centerpiece of the Multiverse Saga
First the fact Loki Season 2 explored a lot about Kang, and many of his options implied that Avengers 5 – then the title The Avengers: Kang Dynasty – would be the obvious spiritual successor to the Disney+ show. When Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror—the main villain of the Multiverse Saga—debuted in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniathe actor first played a version of the character – He's Who Remains Loki season 1. The second season of the MCU series saw Majors return as He Who Remains and play Victor Timely, another Kang variant that helps expand the mythos surrounding the MCU's Big Bad.
However, the MCU cut ties with Jonathan Majors, apparently changing those plans Avengers 5 is revised for Avengers: Judgment Daynow replacing Kang in the lead role in Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. While this initially appeared to reconfigure the story of the fifth Avengers film, this reconfiguration actually seems to have to be trusted. Loki more.
First, Loki In season 2, the Time Variance Authority is actively hunting Kang variants, which means that their future success will be the easiest way for the franchise to justify Kang's ending story instead of him being the main villain. Avengers 5. Since the MCU should ideally refer to the Council of Kangs — and the variants can't directly because they're all played by the Majors — this approach solves a potential problem for the story, while also bringing things closer to the legacy of the existing Multiverse Saga.
Second, the fact that the MCU needs to focus on a part of its multiverse story that doesn't rely heavily on Kang makes sense to use TVA more, especially Deadpool and Wolverine It brought Faction back to a focal point for the cinematic side of the franchise Loki's Hunter B-15 does just that. Indeed, Deadpool and Wolverine's main financial success means the application of concepts Loki that he uses – like TVA, Void, and Alioth – are all relatively widely known now, making their future use even easier for the MCU.
Loki Season 2 Stories The MCU Still Has To Address
Loki Season 2 A Few Threads Left
while Loki Season 2 did a masterful job of wrapping up the series' major plot points, as well as providing a perfect ending to Hiddleston's Loki, which had some loose ends that the MCU could explain in the future if the actor felt like playing the character. projects. Sylvie's story was left open at the end of the series. As one of the most important characters in the series, the MCU should follow up on this ending and show what kind of life Sylvie chose for herself as Loki gave her the power to break free.
Another major loose end left behind Loki Season 2 is the fate of Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Ravonna Renslayer. The character was sent to the Void, where everything TVA prunes is sent. Renslayer played an important role Loki season 2, but the character was largely sidelined as the series drew to a close. Renslayer's fate in the Void was given little more than a quick scene to show where he was. while Deadpool and Wolverine Further exploring the void, Renslayer was absent from the scenes taking place in this space, his fate and the mystery of his future still unclear.
How The MCU's Kang Changes Could Make Loki Season 2 A Bigger Deal
Franchise's Casting Changes Make Loki More Important Than Ever
With the MCU cutting ties with Kang actor Jonathan Majors in December 2023, after he was found guilty of two counts of stalking and assault, Obviously, the franchise will undergo some reconfiguration to accommodate the clearly integral role that the Majors' Kang variants are destined to play.. This most logically brings up Loki and events Loki season 2 to become even more important as the most famous and prominent multiverse exploration in the MCU's recent history.
Loki's role as controller of the multiverse could easily be used to replicate whatever details the MCU wants to fix with Kang, or even replace him entirely. Even if the MCU doesn't want to commit too much to one of the Disney+ shows – to ensure that a wider audience that doesn't keep up with the series can still enjoy the likes Avengers: Judgment Day – looks at what they have created Loki A still successful approach would be sound while rebuilding continues.
given Loki it also marks the beginning of the multifaceted diversification of the MCU, making it essential to the building blocks. Avengers: Judgment Day. Fantastic Four: First Steps It will be set in a different universe, meaning the introduction of Doctor Doom's main comic foes essentially continues from today. Loki the end of season 1, which saw the multiverse blossom, and the end of season 2, which saw these alternate universes being powered by Loki himself.
Is Loki Season 3 Really Happening?
Disney+ Series Returns Are Hard
while The Avengers: Kang Dynasty will see Loki's prophesied Multiversal War happened, an actual turn to Loki unlikely. talking to Phase zero, Loki producer Kevin Wright said that he “I love continuing to work with this team that made these two seasons of this show.” The producer later revealed more than just doing it Loki In season 3, he wants to make a spin-off series, “I'd like to find a way to… if this was our Breaking Bad, what's our better call Saul?”
As in, actual Loki A season 3 seems off the cards — but it's also unlikely. In an April 2024 interview with Variety, Loki actor Tom Hiddleston answered the question of whether or not. Loki Season 3 was possibleI honestly don't know… I'm really proud of where we ended up in season 2. Getting out of this lost, broken soul in Asgaard and being given a second chance and learning so much about life that he really gives himself to. to protect other people, has been such an honor.”
It also offers Loki While season 3 won't be a direct result, Hiddleston's statement leaves open the possibility for another chapter, or a spinoff show that effectively continues that story, as Kevin Wright discussed. However, with so many other projects in the pipeline, it's even less likely that either of these scenarios will happen anytime soon, making the odds even higher. Avengers: Judgment Day serves as Loki Some kind of season 3 is more appropriate for the MCU timeline and its Multiverse Saga story.
