Loki writer says series is “building a new corner of the MCU” as new image debuts
A brand new first-look at Loki shows the titular antihero being restrained by the Time Variance Authority.
Loki head writer Michael Waldron has said the show will open up a "new corner of the MCU" as Marvel releases a brand new first-look image of Tom Hiddleston as the Asgardian anti-hero.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Waldron spoke about introducing the Time Variance Authority – an organisation responsible for safeguarding the flow of time – in upcoming Marvel series Loki.
The series will see the TVA, made up of characters played by Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Wunmi Mosaku, arrest the god of mischief for all the time problems he caused when stealing the Tesseract during Avengers: Endgame.
"My pitch for the show was kind of a big, crazy, fun time adventure,” Waldron said. “The TVA is just an entirely new world [with] a new cast of characters, and that’s what felt most exciting about the show: building a new corner of the MCU."
The image revealed in Entertainment Weekly sees a prison jumpsuit-wearing Loki being restrained by Hunted B-15 (Mosaku), who is a member of the TVA.
Marvel recently revealed a host of first-look pics from the series, including Loki's official poster which caused confusion among fans when many spotted an unusual cartoon clock in the picture.
