According to a TikTok video by Jasmine Erlee, Hiddleston and Wilson were recently spotted on a set in London. Their respective characters, Loki and Mobius M Mobius, werel wearing tuxedos.

Loki’s season two was initially announced in the end credits of season one’s finale.

“Loki will return in season two,” the message read.

In 2021, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige suggested that cameras might not roll on Loki season 2 until 2023.

What is expected in the new season?

Loki season 2 will likely see the Loki variant continue to navigate the Time Variance Authority and the mysteries of the time continuum.

At the end of season one, we were introduced to He Who Remains, played by Jonathan Majors. While the character was killed by Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie, it is teased that we will soon encounter a variant of his – most likely the popular Marvel villain Kang the Conqueror.

Season two will also likely see Loki work with the Mobius and Hunter B-15 who do not remember him.

Writer Martin recently hinted that fans could expect to see more of Mobius and Renslayer in season two, writing on social media: “I really wish we’d had more time with Mobius and Renslayer.”

Is season 2’s trailer out?

Not yet. We will update this piece once it is out.
