Disney+ has unveiled the trailer for season two of "Loki", teasing Ke Huy Quan’s Marvel debut and the return of Jonathan Majors’ supervillain, He Who Remains.
More than two years after its 2021 series debut, "Loki" picks up following the events of its predecessor, "Avengers: Endgame" (2019). In the latter, Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief worked with the Time Variance Authority (TVA) to stop superhero variants from causing mayhem in different timelines of the multiverse.
In the new teaser trailer for Loki’s second season, Owen Wilson’s Mobius and Loki (Hiddleston) pay a visit to Marvel newcomer, and recent Oscar winner, Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once).
At the end of the first season, Loki found himself stuck in an unrecognizable universe ravaged by the death of He Who Remains (Majors).
“I’ve been pulled through time. Between the past and the present. If what I saw is true... there is nothing that stands between this world and utter destruction,” Loki says in a voiceover.
Meanwhile, Victor Timely, a variant of He Who Remains, makes his grand entrance following a tease in season one.
“It’s him. War is on its way,” Loki announces.
Other returning actors include Eugene Cordero, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Tara Strong, Rafael Casal, and more.
“Loki” Season 2 will include six episodes penned by returning writer Eric Martin. Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead are each confirmed to direct an episode of the series, with Michael Waldron remaining attached to the show as its creator. Hiddleston, Waldron, Victoria Alonso, Louis D’Esposito, and Kevin Feige also return as executive producers for the second season.
Majors’ return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe follows his character’s brief debut in the finale of the first season. He later featured in the "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania", which came a month before the actor, 33, was arrested and charged with strangulation, assault, and harassment.
He’s since been accused of additional alleged abusive behavior from “past romantic partners”. Majors’ attorney has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing by the actor and maintained that the charges against him are false. However, he has been dropped from several projects.
"Loki" Season 2 is set to premiere on Disney+ on October 6. New episodes will air weekly.
