OMG this trailer blew my mind away. Disney investor day presentation included a trailer for Loki which is set to debt on May, 2021. I'm sorry all other Disney+, shows, but this is clearly the winner.
The cast is freaking fantastic. We already know and are in love with Tom Hiddleston as the god of mischief. Then we have Owen Wilson as a TVA agent, and maybe for some time an actual villain on the show. Gugu Mbatha-Raw will also belong to the TVA, but it seems like she is also working for Kang the Conqueror. That is a statue of his mask right behind her. It might be that all three mask statues are of Kang. Sophia Di Martino is probably the character that half of the viewers have mistaken as Natasha in the trailer. The other half think she is female Loki and I agree. She also seems more effective in causing damage than our Loki. Wunmi Mosaku (Lovecraft Country) joins Jonathan Majors (Lovecraft Country, Kang of the MCU) in the MCU. I don't know who she will be, but I didn't recognize her in the trailer either. Richard E. Grant is the last interesting casting choice, he is probably playing a different version of Loki. Yeah, we are getting the council of Loki with a few different types of Loki including kid Loki and Loki might have to stop them or work with them. This is speculation, but yeah, I think we are getting a lot of different Loki.
I didn't watch the second season of The Umbrella Academy, but the concept of the time variance authority, the TVA, sounds like one from that show. But after watching this trailer I think nothing can be this good. I don't think The Umbrella Academy can top this, even though I haven't watched either shows so far.
The show is described as a crime thriller and I bet that in the end the Roxxon Corporation which we get a glimpse of in the trailer, will be the big bad of the show. Although a Loki can be a villain with them or one or more of the Loki. I mean Loki travels though the multi-verse and a few different timelines in this show. It is mindboggling and amazing.
And of course as Loki got into trouble with Thanos he is going to run straight into Marvel's next big bad, Kang the Conqueror. It has been confirmed that Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors, will be the big bad of Ant-Man 3: Quantumania and probably all of phase 4 and 5 of the MCU. I think that Loki will probably appear in Ant-Man 3: Quantumania thanks to this connection.
There are too many Easter eggs to write about all of them. I'll just mention a few. Loki wakes up in the sand just like Iron Man did after escaping the cave of the terrorists. We get to see a timeline where earth is destroyed with an Avengers: Age of Utron Avengers headquarter destroyed in the background. Probably a reality in which Ultron won. There is also a person that really looks similar to Captain America being killed. Maybe it's an alternate reality Cap. Maybe he too thought that female Loki was Natasha. The D. B. Cooper reference is the best. It is so cool. So many awesome Easter eggs.
Also, I really hope that Chris Hemsworth will cameo on the show. We know that Loki will appear in Thor: Love and Thunder so maybe some Thor love will appear here as well. How will Loki even cross to the main timeline? Thor will be devastated all over again. He and Loki finally made peace with each before Loki died, but this is a totally different version of Loki. He didn't experience his mother's death, or Thanos' madness, or Hella's insanity. He is still a puny, petty god. It will be interesting to see where they take his character.
Also, yeah, this is also a time heist without Pym particles. This all screams Endgame. With Loki at the center. Glorious indeed.
