Disney+ has officially renewed Loki for a second season. The Multiversal War is here.Īnd so we’re all wondering: Now that everything has changed, what comes next? Here's everything we know about season 2 of Loki-and the remainder of Marvel’s Phase 4.
A He Who Remains statue has replaced the Timekeepers’ likeness on the wall. Finally alone with the dictator, she kills him Loki, back at the TVA, realizes almost immediately that the horror is done. She refuses to listen, kissing him into submission before tossing him back through a TemPad portal into the TVA headquarters. The two of them fight as she tries to reach He Who Remains with her weapon, and Loki attempts convincing her that-perhaps, maybe, this time!-they have it all wrong. For once, he doesn’t know what will happen next.īut Sylvie does not give herself or Loki much time to think. He seems equally titillated and soothed by the idea of placing this choice in hands that are not his own.

He Who Remains then presents them, rather gleefully, with a choice: They can become the arbiters of the Sacred Timeline themselves, or they can kill him, allowing the Multiversal War to begin-only for a He Who Remains variant to rise up and create the Sacred Timeline anyway-bringing the whole saga full circle.
Loki doesn’t necessarily agree, and Sylvie is too furious to register anything other than her own revenge. He sees these eliminations as a necessary evil.

But in order to keep the Sacred Timeline aligned, He Who Remains has had to “prune” and kill untold numbers of variants such as Hiddleston’s Loki and Di Martino’s Sylvie-characters who strayed from their set-upon path and tested the waters of free will. If the timeline were to branch out, a “Multiversal War” would bend the arc of reality into chaos. And in the Loki season 1 finale, Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), continually overzealous in her quest for vengeance, plunged a dagger into the heart of He Who Remains-and, by proxy, plunged the universe into madness.Īs He Who Remains (a version of Kang the Conqueror, as played by the delightful Jonathan Majors) explains, the character is the arbiter of the one Sacred Timeline, a construct he created in order to protect the universe from multiple versions of his own (less “benevolent”) self. Case in point: Loki (Tom Hiddleston) has died numerous times throughout the multiple phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, usually due to a two-pronged overestimation of himself and underestimation of his enemies. Loki variants might be survivors above all else, but they’re also frustratingly pitfall-prone.
