“Underneath all those masks, underneath the charm and the wit, which is kind of a defense anyway, does Loki have an authentic self? Is he introspective enough or brave enough to find out? I think all of those ideas are all in the series - ideas about identity, ideas about self-knowledge, self-acceptance, and the difficulty of it.” If he's shapeshifting so often, does he even know who he is? And is he even interested in understanding who he is?” You don't why he's doing what he's doing. You don't know whether he's going to betray you. “Even though, for all sorts of reasons, you don't know whether you can trust him. "I love this idea Loki's chaotic energy somehow being something we need,” Hiddleston told Entertainment Weekly. Both Hiddleston and Waldron have spoken of Loki being about the character's search and struggle for identity.

Two Lokis in one room? Sign me up, Marvel, I'm fully on board for Hiddleston vs Hiddleston. “Part of the fun of the multiverse and playing with time is seeing other versions of characters, and other versions of the titular character in particular,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige teased. As Loki traverses through the multiverse, his actions will have “ wide-reaching ramifications” across the Marvel Cinematic Universe, creator Michael Waldron has said. That's how things kick off on Loki, with the TVA pushing this time variant of Loki to pick between two choices: be wiped out, or help them fix the mess he has caused. Playing with the timeline has consequences though, and that's how the Time Variance Authority - the keepers of the timeline - comes into play, arresting Loki for his crimes. And now that he's gotten hold of the Tesseract (again), he's wreaked havoc across time and space, altering history as he pleases. This Loki tried to conquer Earth with the Chitauri and still believes that he is owed the Asgard throne over his brother Thor (Chris Hemsworth). He hasn't had any of that character growth from The Dark World, the partial redemption in Ragnarok, or that nice little speech in Infinity War that sent him off beautifully.
That means the Loki in Loki is The Avengers-era Loki. The new Marvel series will follow the version of Loki that disappeared with the Tesseract in Endgame. But how is he back from the dead? Well, Marvel loves hitting the rewind button on its characters - and it is literally resetting Loki's arc here. Loki has previously been in all three Thor movies ( Thor, Thor: The Dark World, and Thor: Ragnarok) and three of four Avengers movies (The Avengers, Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame briefly), and he is finally getting to strike out on his own.
After dying twice, most recently at the hands of Thanos in the 2018 mega get-together Avengers: Infinity War, Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief is set to make a glorious return, as the lead for once.
Loki is back, again - though this time he enters on TV via Disney+ Hotstar.
