Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ Loki show may set up Kang the Conqueror as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next big bad. The show, starring Tom Hiddleston, will see the God of Mischief embody his nefarious persona from 2012’s The Avengers. A more reformed version of the character was killed by Thanos at the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War. However, Avengers: Endgame revived 2012 Loki when he escaped with the Tesseract during the Avengers’ “time heist.”
That version of Loki will lead his own Disney + show, using the Tesseract (the Space Stone) to meddle with history. After fans were given their first tease of Loki via an image of the character in the 1970s, an MCU Disney+ Super Bowl commercial briefly showed Loki sporting a Time Variance Authority jumpsuit. In the comics, the TVA is an organization that monitors the multiverse and subsequent timelines, eliminating those deemed too dangerous. Recently, Owen Wilson was added to the cast of Loki and is rumored to be playing Justice Peace, the head of TVA. Their inclusion in Loki implies the mini-series will have connections to other Disney+ shows and the larger MCU.
