Loki Episode 2 Teases Major Black Widow Connection


There's a lot to unpack in the latest episode of Loki and some fans are already claiming that the Marvel Cinematic Universe series is too confusing. However, others have found possible connections to the rest of the MCU. For instance, people are claiming that Episode 2 just confirmed a major Black Widow connection.

WATCH OUT! The following contains SPOILERS from Loki Episode 2! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

In The Variant, it is revealed that the fugitive Variant is a female version of Loki and that she has been stealing reset charges from the TVA. The sole purpose of these charges has been for a countdown clock that will set them off and create several new branches in the timeline.

Interestingly, the Variant seemed very particular about the new branches as to where and when they will be created. One particular place that caught fans' attention was Vormir, which is best known for being the location of the Soul Stone.

Not surprisingly, fans pointed out that Vormir has already appeared in the Loki teaser and that the scene seemingly features Natasha Romanoff sitting with the God of Mischief. If the planet is one of the locations where a new branch was created, there is a huge possibility that Loki will need to go there to fix it and reunite with Nat.

It's an interesting and plausible theory considering all the evidence. Additionally, it would be awesome to see Nat again before the premiere of Black Widow. However, it is important to note that the woman sitting with Loki on Vormir might also be the Variant identified as Sylvie so it's best to take this with a grain of salt.

Loki Episode 2 is now streaming on Disney+.
