Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Loki season 2, episode 1
Summary
In Loki Season 2, there is a suggestion that he could potentially be involved in resolving the multiverse issue in Avengers: Secret Wars.
The series hints at the possibility of Loki assuming control of the Time Variance Authority and establishing a fresh Sacred Timeline, implying a potential transformation into a heroic figure for the mischievous God.
Loki's doubt about He Who Remains' true nature hints at a significant showdown in Avengers: Secret Wars. In season 2 of Loki, crucial clues emerge concerning the God of Mischief's involvement in the upcoming conflict. Despite his failure to prevent Sylvie from eliminating He Who Remains in the finale of season 1, Loki now seeks to caution the Time Variance Authority about the impending peril. Yet, this may foreshadow more than just his immediate future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As observed in the inaugural episode of Loki season 2, our beloved protagonist endures the distressing phenomenon known as "time-slipping," wherein his corporeal form is involuntarily and violently propelled back and forth throughout the past, present, and future. However, it has been contended that this temporal malady should be inherently impossible within the temporal confines of the TVA, given its existence beyond the constraints of time. Additionally, this occurrence has sparked speculation regarding Loki's potential involvement in Avengers: Secret Wars, further fueling theories concerning the God of Mischief and his future association with the TVA amidst the rapidly expanding multiverse.
Loki Fixes The Multiverse Theory Explained
According to a prevailing theory pertaining to Loki in Avengers: Secret Wars, the God of Mischief is projected to assume a pivotal role in rectifying the multiverse. In a remarkable act of redemption, Loki may emerge as a hero during the events of Secret Wars by seizing control of the TVA. Nevertheless, this undertaking transcends the mere maintenance of the original Sacred Timeline, as it seeks to eradicate the existence of alternate variants of He Who Remains (such as Kang). As per this theory, Loki would forge a fresh Sacred Timeline using the clashing realities anticipated in Secret Wars, consequently bestowing the MCU with an entirely new universe in its aftermath.
"Loki Who Remains" Teases Loki's Future In The MCU
With the engagement of He Who Remains' variants in a multiversal war prior to the creation of the Sacred Timeline, there is a potential for the repetition of history. This could occur initially with Kang variants in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and later on a grander scale in Avengers: Secret Wars. Therefore, Loki finds himself in a unique position to establish order amidst the impending chaos. It is worth noting that He Who Remains expressed confidence in the return of his variants along with the liberated multiverse and its diverse branch realities. Moreover, the presence of Kang's multiversal threat has already been substantiated in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Taking into account this Secret Wars theory, Agent Mobius informs a time-traveling Loki in the premiere of Loki season 2 that before they can address the numerous versions of He Who Remains, there must still exist a "Loki Who Remains." Even though Mobius's remark is meant humorously, it does lend credence to the possibility that Loki could eventually replace He Who Remains in the future of the MCU. It is plausible that Loki could assume the role of overseeing the formation of a fresh timeline, paradoxically bringing order and stability to the multiverse as the God of Mischief himself.
Loki assuming the role of He Who Remains is undeniably an intriguing concept considering his overarching character development. Despite not experiencing the unfolding events of Thor: The Dark World, Ragnarok, and Avengers: Infinity War as the original Loki did, this particular variant of the God of Mischief is gradually evolving into a more redemptive persona, gaining a profound understanding of embracing a purpose that is truly magnificent. Consequently, the notion of Loki discovering a fresh sense of direction by shouldering the intricate responsibility of shaping a new timeline in Secret Wars holds immense allure.
How Loki Season 2 Is Setting Up His MCU Future
In addition to Agent Mobius' joke, Loki's belief in an imminent multiversal war is also a tantalizing prospect. Despite Loki's desire for more time to devise a plan, Sylvie remained convinced that He Who Remains was malevolent and needed to be eliminated. However, in season 2, Loki confirms that he was never entirely convinced of He Who Remains' wickedness. He is now questioning whether He Who Remains was justified in making the difficult decision to eradicate entire realities in order to protect the others from the most dangerous versions of himself.
Loki refers to the previous multiversal war involving He Who Remains' variants and believes that he and Mobius can only be certain that another war is on the horizon. This upcoming multiversal war is expected to be featured in Avengers: Secret Wars, and Loki season 2 is crucial in setting the stage for this crossover event, scheduled for release in 2027. The future will reveal whether Loki will indeed assume control of the TVA as He Who Remains' successor in the MCU.
