Loki Early Reactions Praise Hiddleston & Wilson In MCU Time Travel Mystery
Ahead of Loki's premiere this week on Disney+, the first reactions to the latest Marvel show are now out. Following in the steps of WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, the third of Marvel's original series for Disney+ takes an in depth look at an MCU character who hasn't been as thoroughly explored as say Iron Man or Captain America. Loki is the God of Mischief's show, but it's not following the version of the character seen across the Thor movies and elsewhere in the MCU.
Rather, Loki is the adventure of a new version of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) created in Avengers: Endgame when the Loki seen during 2012's Battle of New York steals the Tesseract and escapes. This creates a branched timeline and it's this branched timeline version of Loki who is arrested by the Time Variance Authority for the crime of messing up the timeline and creating a variant of himself. However, the TVA has a bigger problem on their hands as it appears someone else, some new mystery villain is also changing the MCU's timeline. This leads Agent Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson) to recruit Loki to help him solve the case, recognizing that while the God of Mischief is a handful, he may also be their best shot at catching the culprit.
Loki is set to debut this Wednesday, June 9 on Disney+, moving away from the service's usual Friday premieres. With its release date so near, the embargo has now lifted for those who've seen the first episodes to share their initial thoughts and reactions. Needless to say, the hype for Loki has been very high given the popularity of the character and Hiddleston's portrayal, plus the frenetic and often hilarious trailers. Read on below for what the early reactions are to Marvel's Loki:
