Loki LOKI General Discussion Thread

[Albright]

that’s just one Friday in May and not every week.
If that’s the case, what will this mean for future releases? Every time a 4 week gap, when a big MCU movie hits theaters? I don’t think so

If there's a Star Wars project that is ready to go, they will fill that gap in between Marvel shows.

Any chance of Enchantress?
since

Spoiler

Wanda is now confirmed to be a Scarlet Witch and a legend in witch lore for MCU. Maybe she too is a witch that left Asgard or a witch that left Earth and became Asgardian then left again when it was destroyed.

 

[Dr. Evil]

This show has done a really good job at keeping the names of most of the characters under wraps.

I think there's a good chance of some version since

Spoiler

1. Sophia Di Martino was seen wearing green Asgardian style garb. People speculated this would be as female Loki, but given she also has blond hair, Enchantress seems more likely imo.
2. There was an actress for "Young Sylvie", and Sylvie Lushton is the name of the second enchantress.

 

[Albright]

Also Enchantress would be the perfect love interest for Loki. He will fall in love with her and she could be the one deceiving him (normally thats his part)

That's what I'm thinking. Gugu Mbatha-Raw is likely Karnilla. I'm not sure who Richard E. Grant is playing since two female leads strongly points to Karnilla making an appearance but Grant is too old to be Baldur. Enchantress isn't much worse than Loki and Karnilla isn't really evil so I'm guessing that Grant is the villain.

Momentum building. As word gets out to the casuals/GA and more of them sign up for Disney + these things will just keep getting bigger.

[Kev4000]

I didnt expected they go with golden/yellow background, I was already hyped for a black/green dominant cover.

 

[Albright]

glorious

 

[Fallen]

It's amazing, wow.

Okay, so. Based on some apparent casting and soundtrack leaks my guess is

Spoiler

We'll see several alternative versions of Loki.

- Richard E. Grant's stuntdouble was listed as being for "classic Loki" on IMDB. Take it with a grain of salt of course, but I could definitely see it.

- Sophia DiMartino may be Enchantress based on my previous points, but I could see her doing double duty as female Loki. In the comics female Loki has taken over a (human) body of Sif. Perhaps Loki takes over a body of Enchantress instead in this. Especially since this person apparently may have leaked recording of a lady Loki theme:

- Jack Veal was already rumoured as Kid Loki, and apparently answered in confirmation on his instagram

I was thinking either that (the possession thingy) or they will pull a bit of a switcheroo and MCU's Sylvie Lushton will emulate Loki instead of Amora. In the comics Loki created Sylvie and she then copied Amora and even ‘borrowed’ her name – which understandably upset Amora. Considering we still don’t have Amora in the MCU, it makes no sense for her to model herself after the original Enchantress, so perhaps in the show she’ll copy Loki and borrow his identity? That way she’ll be both Sylvie AND Lady Loki?

Would certainly explain some things about Sophia’s character, her Loki-inspired clothes and blonde hair, which no version of Loki ever had.

I’m sure Richard E. Grant is playing some version of older Loki. If I remember correctly, I think his stunt double was listed to appear in episode 5.

As for Jack, the kid kind of leaked he’s playing Kid Loki (or a version of Young Loki) back in December when the trailer came out. He posted it on his IG and tagged #kidloki but a few hours later took it down.

That's possible too. I was thinking maybe they were just using the Sylvie Lushton name for Amora's version of Donald Blake so to speak. We'll see I guess.

 

[Dasher10]

It looks like Gugu Mbatha-Raw is playing a random TVA member and not Karnilla. I'd have preferred if the TVA send Loki over to Nornheim which exists as a temporal anomaly and then have him try to dethrone Karnilla since she governs fate and was able to protect her entire world from The Snap by manipulation of time. And Loki kills Baldur at the end.

 

[Albright]

damn that would‘ve been awesome

The best we get, could be Enchantress - but not counting on it.
But maybe this show will take its chance to introduce awesome new characters.
Its not like WV or F&WS were the main characters need deeper characters.
Loki already has received great character development in the MCU

Haha, love it.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Actually kind of glad that there's a short gap between the end of the Falcon and Winter Soldier and the premier of this. Obviously, that's due to Star Wars Bad Batch, but still good to see a bit of a gap.

 

[Albright]

what’s good of having a gap?
I could live with a week between WV and F&WS, but relieved when we got new episodes on Fridays

There will be some people who already have MCU Fatigue despite a year without anything new and they will already want a break until Loki.

the good thing of streaming: you can watch it, whenever you want.
no one forces you to watch the shows right away

Yeah, you can take as long a break as you want and then binge-watch to catch up when you are back in the mood. Or can skip series that you have no interest in.
