Loki review and release LIVE UPDATES: Tom Hiddleston series is an emotional rollercoaster

LokiLoki will stream on Disney Plus Hotstar.

Starring Tom Hiddleston in the lead role, Disney Plus Hotstar series Loki starts streaming from 12:30 pm on June 9. While the God of Mischief died in the main timeline during the events of Avengers: Infinity War, the character got another lease of life during Avengers: Endgame as the Avengers visited the timeline of Battle of New York where Loki was being held captive. The events of this MCU series kick off from that moment, and the Loki we see here is the one who vanished with the Tesseract.

In an earlier interview with TV Insider, Tom said, “I think what’s really interesting is that the audience broadly has a better perspective on Loki than Loki does. Because the audience has seen the events of The Dark World, and Ragnarok, and Infinity War, and Endgame, and this is a Loki that doesn’t have any of that self-awareness. He hasn’t been on this arc of redemption and catharsis, and upon being apprehended by the TVA, he’s a very confused and destabilized being. He’s out of his comfort zone, a fish out of water, and not happy about it.”

The show also stars Owen Wilson as Mobius M Mobius, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Renslayer and Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15.

From what we have seen in the promos so far, Loki is caught by Time Variance Authority, who apprehends people trying to play with the timelines. Mobius tries to join forces with Loki in trying to capture dangerous Variants.

Is Mephisto the main villain in Loki?

Fans were sure that Mephisto was at the center of all evil in WandaVision. However, as the series progressed, they were proved wrong. When the 'devil' was referenced in Loki, they were sure that this time, they were right. Except they weren't. 

When Loki director Kate Herron was asked about this, she answered, “It’s honestly just a super weird coincidence. Like, it’s genuinely a reference to Loki — the horns, he was cast out of heaven, that’s what it’s a reference to,” Herron said. “Because we filmed that a long time before — I think WandaVision must have been in post (post-production) when we filmed that. I did see all the stuff about that online and I was like, ‘Oh, this is going to be interesting.’ But no, it’s more relevant to the themes of our show and it’s not a nod to that character.”

Did Loki episode 1 have post-credit scenes?

Marvel fans have been compelled into staying till the end of the credits for every film, as there is usually an Easter Egg or a teaser always waiting for you. Unlike the films, the Marvel-Disney Plus series like WandaVision and The Falcon And The Winter Soldier switched things up a bit, where the post-credit scenes were introduced in the later episodes. Loki, starring Tom Hiddleston, followed the same route as the other series. The show premiered on June 9, and while it was an action-packed episode, there was no post-credit scenes, though it was fun to sit through the credits. Read more.

Loki: Our verdict

Loki, the series, continues the story of one of MCU's most popular characters. Tom Hiddleston returns to play the role of God of Mischief. Zippy and action-packed, Tom Hiddleston’s MCU series is a total blast. Read Loki's first impression here.

In an earlier interview with Empire, Marvel head Kevin Feige said that Disney Plus Hotstar series Loki will have more impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe than any of the shows so far. After WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki is the third series to come out of MCU. Feige said, "It's tremendously important. It perhaps will have more impact on the MCU than any of the shows thus far. What everybody thought about WandaVision, and was sort of true, and The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, which was sort of true, is even more sort of true for Loki."
