Tom Hiddleston’s Loki has been one of the constants in the MCU and soon his own series will be premiering on Disney+. Throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’ve seen Loki betray Thor, fight against him, and eventually become a brother. Only to be killed off in Avengers: Infinity War. Avengers: Endgame saw 2012 Loki grab the Tessaract and disappear – which, is the Loki we’ll follow in the show.
To clarify, this Loki never experienced Thor: The Dark World, Ragnarok, nor Infinity War. Meaning, this Loki is a Loki who was very much at odds with his brother Thor.
Talking about Loki, Hiddleston recently expressed:
“I want to preserve the freshness of the show for when it emerges, but something to think about is the [show’s] logo, which seems to refresh and restore. The font of how Loki is spelled out seems to keep changing shape. Loki is the quintessential shapeshifter. His mercurial nature is that you don’t know whether, across the MCU, he’s a hero or a villain or an anti-hero. You don’t know whether you can trust him. He literally and physically changes shape into an Asgardian guard, or into Captain America repeatedly. Thor talks about how he could change into a snake.”
Hiddleston added:
“I think that shapeshifting logo might give you an idea that Loki, the show, is about identity, and about integrating the disparate fragments of the many selves that he can be, and perhaps the many selves that we are. I thought it was very exciting because I’ve always found Loki a very complex construct. Who is this character who can wear so many masks, and changes shape, and seems to change his external feeling on a sixpence?”
Loki hits Disney+ June 11th! Who else is excited?
