The show follows Thors adopted brother Loki after his Avengers Endgame time-heist escape leads him to embark upon a new story of his own. Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Wunmi Mosaku co-star, while Jonathan Majors is also rumoured to be showing up as one of the Marvel Cinematic Universes next major villains, Kang the Conqueror. Here is everything you need to know ahead of the second episode. Loki is a six-part series, with Disney Plus releasing one episode a week. There is currently one episode available to watch on the streaming service, but Marvel fans dont have long to wait until the next one drops, because its scheduled to be released later this morning at around 8am. Loki picks up after the events of 2019s Avengers: Endgame, when Hiddlestons character stole the Tesseract and escaped from captivity after the Avengers travelled back in time to the events of the very first Avengers film in order to save the future. So while the version of Loki from the main MCU timeline died at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War , the actions of this alternate 2012 version of Loki disrupts the timeline, and he becomes a variant. He is taken to the Time Variance Authority  the organisation tasked with monitoring the timeline of the universe and making sure nothing goes off track  where he is expected to stand trial for crimes against the sacred timeline. He is then given the choice between being erased or helping the Time-Keepers fix the timeline to prevent it from exploding into a multiverse. According to an official synopsis, the series will follow Loki as he pops up throughout human history as [an] unlikely influencer on historical events. Considering that the show is widely theorised to have big consequences for Marvel Phase Four and beyond, the events of Loki  in particular the existence of the TVA and potential for multiverses  may influence upcoming films and series. The first instalment of Marvel's hotly anticipated TV series premiered on Disney Plus last Wednesday, June 9. The episode, entitled Glorious Purpose saw Loki reprimanded by the Time Variance Authority, with TVA agent Mobius (Wilson) revealing that Loki broke reality when he took the Tesseract. Mobius wants the trickster god to help restore order to the main timeline, but whether Loki will help or break free from the TVA and wreak even more havoc has yet to be seen. New episodes will be released weekly on Wednesdays, with the finale set to air on Wednesday, July 14. Disney Plus subscription costs 7.99 per month, or you can buy an annual subscription which is 79.90 a year.
