Summary
The second season of Disney+‘sLokimay have ended a year ago, but that hasn’t stoppedMarvel Studiosfrom releasing new content. This week, fans got an unexpected– but very welcome– surprise.
Lokiis a fan-favorite Marvel show on Disney’s streamer, just as Tom Hiddleston’s iteration of the trickster is a fan-favorite character. The second season of the show was well-reviewed, earning an 82% (AKA ‘certified fresh’) rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and has had far-reaching effects on the MCU. The inclusion of the Time Variance Authority (TVA) inDeadpool and Wolverinefurtherproves how big of an impact the events both seasons of the show have had on the MCU as a whole. TheLokifinale sees Loki becoming the God of Stories after making the ultimate sacrifice to save the multiverse (and, more importantly, his friends). It seems Loki is destined to be alone, but time will tell if that will last forever.
If you thought Marvel was done with Loki, think again! As a special Thanksgiving treat for fans, the studio gave Varietyan exclusive deleted scene to share via X. Loki has gotten on the wrong side of seemingly endless Marvel characters, both on the big screen and on the pages of the comics. The new scene highlights some of his many past foes, some which have made it to the MCU and some that haven’t. Amora, Absorbing Man, and Hercules are some that particularly standout. Fans ofAgents of Shieldwill remember the appearance of Absorbing Man, but other than that the character has yet to truly make it to the MCU. Amora– AKA Enchantress– is another iconic Marvel villain we haven’t gotten to see in the films so far– despite a well-planned fake-out withLoki’s Sylvie character in season 1.
This scene is likely one of many that will be included on the Bluray disc, which was announced in October. Other features include the entire second season in 4K UHD, a gag reel, a featurettedelving into Loki’s history in the MCUup to now, and the making-of documentary that has come to be expected after the release of a new Marvel project. Disney+ is also set to release Bluray editions of season 1 ofHawkeye,season 3 ofThe Mandalorian, and season 1 ofAhsoka.
The future ofLoki(both the show and the character) is up in the air as of right now. Hiddleston is one of the few remaining members of Phase 1 of the MCU, making him an important symbol for fans who have stuck with the MCU since its beginning. Luckily, fans seem confident that this won’t be the last we see of him. And they have a reason to. Even though the show ended in late 2023,fans have recently been given hope that there is more in store for everyone’s favorite not-so-bad guy. There are also reports that Tom Hiddleston will return in the next installment of theAvengersfilms,Avengers: Doomsday.
Seasons 1 and 2 ofLokiare currently available to stream on Disney+, and season 2 will be on Bluray on December 3rd, 2025.
