Season 2 of Marvel’s Loki is coming to Disney Plus in summer 2023, and some key details have been revealed over the past few months, including at Disney’s D23 Expo 2022. Here’s everything we know so far!
Loki season 2 trailer and plot
Although we don’t have a full trailer yet, Disney has released some footage in its Disney+ promos.
Before the promos came out, D23 attendees were treated to an exclusive teaser for Season 2. The teaser begins with Loki creeping into a room in the TVA, where someone is reading a TVA handbook. After tentatively calling out, “Hello?” Loki abruptly seems to glitch, and then vanishes. A camera cut reveals that it’s another Loki variant who’s reading the handbook.
From there, we see some unsettling shots of Loki struggling down a TVA hallway, glitching. In a voiceover, Loki says that he’s “pulled through time,” and he’s seen “terrible, awful things” on his journey. We also see Mobius, Hunter B-15, and Sylvie in various places in and out of the TVA. Sylvie is sitting in a record shop, Mobius is briefly in a spacesuit, and B-15 is in a yellow gown. New cast member Ke Huy Quan seems to be staffing an archive or storage room at the TVA. Loki falls through the central tower at the TVA and lands in the control room. We also see Mobius and two Lokis all wearing tuxedos (remember the leak where they were attending what looked like a movie premiere?)
Throughout the teaser, Loki seems to be trying to warn everyone about the coming multiversal war, saying that “There’s nothing standing between this world and destruction. War is on the way.” At one point, he prunes a mural at the TVA to reveal a giant sculpture of Kang’s face in a hidden wall behind it.
In the last shot of the trailer, Loki tells Mobius, “I don’t want you to think I’m the bad guy in all of this.” Mobius responds, “Who said you were?” and Loki lists every single Avenger, Phil Coulson, his whole family, Miss Minutes, and Mobius himself. This trailer doesn’t want us to forget that Loki has a villainous past, even if he’s trying to do the right thing. Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, who are directing the majority of episodes of Loki Season 2, are known for their horror films, and the teaser definitely has a horror vibe to it.
Loki Season 2 characters and cast
Over the past year, Marvel has confirmed that virtually all cast members from Season 1 will be returning. The teaser features Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Owen Wilson as Mobius, Sophia di Martino as Sylvie, Eugene Cordero as Casey, Gugu MBatha Raw as Ravonna Renslayer, and Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15.
Joining them will be Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once) as a TVA employee, who, rumor has it, may be named Ouroboros, or “Bo” for short. According to Deadline, Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones) has also joined the cast as a villain—perhaps even an older version of Sylvie, if internet rumors are to be believed. Finally, Rafael Casal (Blindspotting) was spotted on set last summer, wearing a TVA prisoner jumpsuit.
Although we don’t know anything for sure, it seems likely that Jonathan Majors will return as another variant of He Who Remains, who in turn is a variant of Kang the Conqueror. Majors plays several versions of Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, including Victor Timely, who puts on a presentation in the second post-credit scene with Loki and Mobius in the audience.
There are also rumors that Cordero’s Casey will be a regular character instead of just a bit part.
Loki Season 2 release window
The exact release date of Loki Season 2 hasn’t been announced yet, but we do know the season is coming in summer 2023. According to social media leaks, filming reportedly wrapped in late October 2022, although that news is unconfirmed and reshoots could still follow.
Stay tuned for more details!
