Loki wasn't originally meant to have a time-traveling TV show when he stole the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame.
As part of a profile on Loki and star Tom Hiddleston, Entertainment Weekly spoke to the actor about how he went from absconding with the Space Stone in the final Avengers movie to landing his own Disney+ series. And apparently, that wasn't always the plan. "Where'd he go? When does he go? How does he get there? These are all questions I remember asking on the day, and then not being given any answers," Hiddleston said.
When the scene was written, it wasn't as a way to launch a Loki series, it was simply to complicate the Avengers' heist of the Infinity Stones. "[That scene] was really more of a wrinkle so that one of the missions that the Avengers went on in Endgame could get screwed up and not go well, which is what required Cap and Tony to go further back in time to the '70s," Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said.
But when Feige was approached by Disney head Bob Iger about building out the content for the company's upcoming streaming service, that wrinkle provided a major opportunity. "I think the notion that we had left this hanging loose end with Loki gave us the in for what a Loki series could be," Feige continued. "So by the time [Endgame] came out, we did know where it was going."
Hiddleston also knew the plan by the time Endgame came out, but just barely. He only learned of Loki's true fate in the weeks before the film hit theaters. "I probably should not have been surprised, but I was," Hiddleston said. "But only because [Loki's death in] Infinity War had felt so final."
Though the God of Mischief has once again cheated death, Hiddleston is excited to continue exploring the fan-favorite character. "I love this idea [of] Loki's chaotic energy somehow being something we need," the actor said. "Even though, for all sorts of reasons, you don't know whether you can trust him. You don't know whether he's going to betray you. You don't know why he's doing what he's doing. If he's shapeshifting so often, does he even know who he is? And is he even interested in understanding who he is? Underneath all those masks, underneath the charm and the wit, which is kind of a defense anyway, does Loki have an authentic self?"
Loki stars Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Lexus Renslayer, Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15 and Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant, Sasha Lane and Eugene Cordero in undisclosed roles. The series premieres June 9 on Disney+.
