Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Loki's MCU journey has transformed him from a jealous brother in 2011's Thor to a selfless hero with the goal of protecting the multiverse in 2023's Loki season 2.
• Loki has faked his death multiple times, allowing him to outlive Avengers like Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow. After his actual death, a new Loki variant is closer to stopping the Council of Kangs than the Avengers themselves.
• The original Loki's character development shaped the new Loki's actions in Loki season 1 and continues to do so as he reunites with Sylvie to prevent the multiverse from collapsing in Loki season 2.

Loki season 2 continues the God of Mischief's MCU journey after six movies, one show, and one key post-credits appearance. Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief has gone through a long and complex character development since his MCU debut, going from a jealous brother to a powerful villain and ultimately to a selfless hero. Every crime and heroic deed Loki has committed in his extremely long lifespan has informed his motivations ahead of Loki season 2, and his guilt pushes him to protect the entire multiverse from a much bigger threat than him.
Loki faked his death many times in the MCU before his actual demise, but the multiverse has helped him outlive Avengers such as Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow. Loki season 1 gave the Asgardian god yet another chance to prove his worth after the original Loki's real death, and the God of Mischief is now one step closer to stopping the Multiverse Saga's main villains, the Council of Kangs. Before Loki reunites with Mobius M. Mobius and Sylvie, however, an overview of Loki's MCU journey across the years may come in handy.
8 Thor Kenneth Branagh's 2011 Thor establishes Asgard and the Nine Realms in the MCU, complete with their ancient history and mythology. Just like in the real-life Norse myths and in Marvel Comics, Thor reveals that the MCU's Loki was born an Ice Giant. In the MCU, Odin saves Loki after Loki's father Laufey abandons him in a Jotunheim temple. Odin raises Loki as a biological son, but Loki only learns the truth more than a thousand years later. Driven by resentment, Loki sabotages Thor's coronation and unleashes the powerful Destroyer automaton on Asgard. Although Thor stops him, Loki still leaves Asgard, throwing himself off the Bifrost bridge and into outer space.
7 The Avengers Shortly after the events of Thor, Thanos recruits Loki and sends him to Earth to retrieve the Tesseract. Both vengeful and influenced by the Mind Stone, Loki begins an invasion with the help of the Chitauri. However, the Avengers assemble for the first time and defeat Loki. Thor then takes his brother back to Asgard so he can be prosecuted in his home realm. The Avengers might be one of the most important movies for Loki's MCU journey, as it not only develops his relationship with the Avengers but also establishes the starting point for Loki's future multiversal travel in Loki seasons 1 and 2.
