The frost giant adopted by Odin, also known as the God of Mischief, Loki will be paying for his crimes, and this time, against time itself, before the Time Variance Authority, as he messed with it when he unknowingly took the tesseract and escaped with it during the time travel of the Avengers in Endgame to borrow the stone in their effort of blipping everyone snapped by Thanos back to existence.

When is the Premiere Date of Loki? – June 9, 2021

Unlike WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Loki will be premiering on a Wednesday, on June 9, 2021, at 3 AM EST exclusively on Disney+. It is because Star Wars: The Bad Batch already filled the previous schedule and to satisfy the fans of both shows, they were given their respective days of the week to enjoy.

Lokiwill start where he was last seen: escaping with the Tesseract in Endgame. As explained throughout various films in the MCU, time is not to be disturbed with and whenever you borrow something from a certain point of time, you have to return it where it belongs. When Loki escaped, his actions are bound to alter events from then on.

The official synopsis of the Loki is below:

"Picking up immediately after Loki steals the Tesseract (again), he finds himself called before the Time Variance Authority, a bureaucratic organization that exists outside of time and space, forced to answer for his crimes against the timeline and given a choice: face deletion from reality or assist in catching an even greater threat."

Apprehended by the Time Variance Authority, Loki seems to be resisting some jail time, or this jail is just nothing like he has ever been in throughout his existence. In a comedic and action-packed series, Loki will be paying for his crimes by helping the TVA get through the bumps on their very road in exchange for an extreme consequence pressed on Loki.

Who is the cast of Loki?

Tom Hiddleston returns as everyone's favorite villain-turned-hero and he will be joined by Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku, and Richard E. Grant. It is also rumored that Black Widow will be appearing on the series after eagle-eyed fans saw in the trailers someone that looks like her on a purple-like planet. Do you think she'll be in the series?
