When an alternate Loki uses the Tesseract to escape in 'Avengers: Endgame,' the Time Variance Authority (TVA), a group that keeps an eye on the sacred timeline, captures him. After first doubting the TVA's legitimacy, Loki is forced to decide between being eliminated from the universe and assisting them in their search for a hazardous time variant-a different version of himself going by the name Sylvie. Along the way, they discover the secrets of the TVA and travel across time, forcing Loki to wrestle with issues of free will and identity and make a decision that could destroy the sacred timeline and unleash havoc over the multiverse.

Co-executive producer Kevin R. Wright revealed the team actually crunched the numbers, and across a full decade of MCU movie appearances, Hiddleston's Loki had been on screen for less than two hours total. Season one alone blows straight past that, clocking in at 280 minutes and 17 seconds across just six episodes.
During filming, Tom Hiddleston asked Owen Wilson if he'd ever played Hamlet, a nod to Hiddleston's own stage background. Wilson joked that nobody, not even his old collaborator Ben Stiller, had ever asked him that, though he did rattle off the opening line of The Two Gentlemen of Verona for good measure.
Long before he became the God of Mischief, Tom Hiddleston actually auditioned for the role of Thor for the 2011 film. Footage of him swinging the hammer has surfaced over the years, and it's genuinely strange to imagine an MCU where Hiddleston ended up on the hero's side of that sibling rivalry.
Stick around for the finale's post-credits scene and there's a final QR code that unlocks Moon Knight Annual #1, a comic where he actually squares off against Kang the Conqueror, a character MCU fans had just met via a variant in Loki not long before.
