A new video features Tom Hiddleston giving viewers a crash course in all things Loki.
In the video, which is now available on Marvel's official YouTube channel, Hiddleston runs down Loki's history from his debut in Thor to an alternate version of the God of Mischief escaping with the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame. "And the next thing you know, I've got a job offer for some group that calls itself the TVA," Hiddleston says, referring to Loki's new employers — the Time Variance Authority. "And that's it!"
A previous TV spot featured the inner workings of the TVA, including its mascot Miss Minutes. The TVA enlists Loki's help in fixing the timeline after it splintered following the events of Endgame. "My pitch for the show was kind of a big, crazy, fun time adventure," creator Michael Waldron told EW about his series pitch for Loki and how it fleshes out the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). "The TVA is just an entirely new world [with] a new cast of characters, and that's what felt most exciting about the show: building a new corner of the MCU."
In the weeks leading up to Loki's premiere, Disney+ will hold watch parties featuring Loki's appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The process will also be repeated for each episode of Loki throughout its six-episode run.
Picking up immediately after Loki steals the Tesseract (again), he finds himself called before the Time Variance Authority, a bureaucratic organization that exists outside of time and space, forced to answer for his crimes against the timeline and given a choice: face deletion from reality or assist in catching an even greater threat.
Loki stars Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Richard E. Grant. The series premieres June 9 on Disney+.
