After disappearing with the Mind Stone in Avengers: Endgame, followers have been left to surprise in regards to the destiny of Loki.

The new sequence, Loki, which is at present streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, sheds gentle on how the god of mischief has meddled with the ‘sacred timeline’ and what occurs when a brand new mysterious group referred to as the Time Variance Authority tries to right it.

Over a digital convention, the forged and crew mentioned the making of MCU’s newest internet sequence. Tom Hiddleston, who performs the titular function, stated he was glad to get again into the sneakers of Loki.

The actor stated, “I was excited by the idea and it was a bit of a head-scratcher because that scene in Avengers: Infinity War felt so final, so conclusive as to mark the end of Loki’s story. But I knew that Avengers: Endgame was around the corner. And in a scene in that film, Loki picks up the Tesseract and disappears in a puff of smoke. Where does he go? How does he get there?”

The producers, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito and Victoria Alonso, reassured Hiddleston that this second could be the start line of the sequence. Interestingly, the makers hadn’ t considered this sequence after Loki was killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War.

“But I think we only knew it when we shot Endgame. It became very exciting to make people wait until we figured out what the show would be,” stated Feige.

The sequence additionally marks the MCU debut of actor Owen Wilson who performs the TVA agent Mobius.

“It’s exciting to be a part of MCU, to see the reception to the trailer and how excited people got. I’ve worked on a lot of things but the secrecy surrounding this was something I didn’t quite understand until I saw how the fan base is so revved up and passionate. Marvel is committed to surprising people,” stated Wilson.

Speaking in regards to the inspiration for the present, director Kate Herron stated, “Stylistically, we were really inspired by a lot of noir films and it will be apparent when you see that in our lighting and how we have approached it. Se7en is a very heavy influence and there’s even a little reference to the film in episode two, which I’m sure fans of that film will recognize instantly.”

Answering a query on what the takeaway could be from this sequence, Hiddleston stated, “I love that Loki is stripped off everything that’s familiar to him. Thor is not close by; Asgard seems some distance away; The Avengers, for the time being, aren’t in sight either. He’s stripped of his status and his power. What makes Loki, Loki? I hope the audience gets a kick out of where we take him.”
