Loki Trailer and premiere month out

Disney Company’s 2020 Investor Day recently concluded and its subsidiary Marvel Studios revealed several projects. It includes the first Loki trailer marking Tom Hiddleston’s return in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as God of Mischief. He is back and will be stepping out of his big brother, Thor’s shadow.

The series takes place right after the events of Avengers: Endgame. As Loki gets his hand on the tesseract, he gets transported to an unknown deserted land. The character is then seen as a prisoner, being caught by a TVA agent, Mobius M. It looks like all of Loki’s past will be relived as the agent goes through his memory. He might get torched at the place. On the other hand, an unknown character is causing a threat. Ahead, Loki trailer has thrill, suspense, action with the character getting his knives back. In the end, the Bifrost light takes him from the midair. Now the scene raises many questions, as will Loki return to destroyed Asgard? Who is controlling the Bifrost? Will Hela make a comeback? And more. Loki release date is set to be in May 2021. Check out the exclusive clip below.
