Loki Season 2's New Trailer Shows Kang Helps The TVA
The release of the second trailer for Loki season 2 took place on September 4, 2023, shedding light on new aspects of the upcoming series. It is set to premiere on October 6. The previous teasers had already introduced Victor Timely, but the second trailer delves deeper into his role, hinting that he may collaborate with the TVA. One scene from the trailer showcases Loki, Mobius, and Ke Huy Quan's Ouroboros, alongside other TVA personnel, preparing for Mobius to embark on a mission to investigate the Temporal Core. Notably, within the TVA's premises, Victor Timely can be spotted in the background, suggesting that he will be recruited to aid in the TVA's mission.
Victor Timely Is Key To Fixing The Multiverse
The Temporal Core made its debut in the first trailer of Loki season 2, although its exact functionality remains unclear. This piece of machinery appears to merge multiple energy streams into one, possibly symbolizing the consolidation of the diverse timelines in the multiverse into the Sacred Timeline. Victor Timely's involvement with the TVA and his assignment to investigate the Temporal Core suggest that he possesses comprehensive knowledge about the machine, potentially signaling his pivotal role in the future of the MCU's Multiverse Saga.The post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Loki season 2 trailers showcase a meeting between Loki, Mobius, and Victor Timely during the early 20th Century at the Chicago World's Fair. At this event, Timely presents an innovative technology that he believes will grant him control over time. Initially, there appears to be no connection between Timely's invention and the Temporal Core of the TVA. However, upon closer examination, the two devices bear a remarkably similar shape and appearance. This implies that Timely's past invention could be an early version of the Temporal Core, indicating his potential significance in assisting the TVA in Loki season 2.
If Victor Timely were indeed the original creator of the Temporal Core, it would provide a plausible explanation as to why Loki and Mobius embark on a journey to locate him in the past. This becomes particularly significant if there has been a malfunction in the Temporal Core itself. Consequently, Victor Timely could prove to be a pivotal figure in resolving the TVA's predicament in Loki season 2, implying that he will assume the role of an ally during Phase 5 of the MCU, rather than continuing the trend of his previous variants being portrayed as villains. However, Timely's creation might also allude to a different fate for this variant, potentially hinting at the notion that audiences may have already encountered Victor Timely under an alternate alias.
Is Victor Timely Really He Know Remains?
It appears that Victor Timely was responsible for creating the Temporal Core during the early 20th Century. Interestingly, He Who Remains, after establishing the TVA, seemingly utilized this device in the distant future. This raises the possibility that Timely and He Who Remains are, in fact, the same person. Over countless eons, He Who Remains may have significantly advanced the technology of his original Temporal Core, allowing it to operate on a much grander scale at the end of time. In the finale of Loki season 1, He Who Remains revealed that he had existed for an unimaginable stretch of time. This revelation certainly poses the intriguing prospect that Victor Timely in Loki season 2 could potentially be He Who Remains.
