Marvel boss Kevin Feige describes it as a “crime thriller” led by Hiddleston’s character whereby Wilson plays a prominent role.

“You guys saw Avengers, right? So he’s still that guy. And just about the last thing that happened to him was he got Hulk-smashed,” Hiddleston said during San Diego Comic-Con in 2019 as quoted by Entertainment Weekly. “So there’s a lot of psychological evolution that is still yet to happen… This is new territory, a new world, new challenges, and I cannot wait to get started."

In addition, the series will tie into the events of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” as promised by Feige, previously.

Written by “Rick & Morty’s” Michael Waldron and directed by Kate Herron, “Loki” is slated to release in May 2021 on Disney+.
