The new trailer sees Tom Hiddleston’s Loki experiencing a glitch called “time slipping.” The Asgardian is seen traveling uncontrollably through timelines where he sees and learns new things. Owen Wilson’s Mobious and MCU newcomer Ke Huy Quyan’s Ouroboros try to figure out this time glitch and try to fix it.
The video also reveals a new variant of Jonathan Major’s Kang the Conqueror called Victor Timely. The Kang variant looks to be the big villain in the series. Timely is an immortal much like other variants and is seemingly the cause of the “time slipping” phenomenon.
Also seen in the trailer are cast memebers Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Eugene Cordero, Rafael Casal, Tara Strong, Kate Dickie, Liz Carr, and Neil Ellice. Sophia Di Martino is also reprising her role as Sylvie, a Loki variant that broke the timeline and caused the creation of the Multiverse.
Fan reaction to the new trailer has been extremely positive on social media. Many are excited to see a continuation of Loki’s misadventures across time in the upcoming season.
