Summary

Ke Huy Quan, known for his Oscar-winning role in "Everything Everywhere All at Once," joins Loki season 2 as OB, a TVA archivist, bringing excitement to Phase 5 of the MCU.

In the trailer for Loki season 2, it appears that Mobius might finally fulfill his desire for a jet ski. This would be an exciting development for both the character and fans of the show. Additionally, the trailer hints at a multiversal war, with various versions of Kang the Conqueror fighting one another. This could potentially foreshadow the events of Phase 6's Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

Marvel Studios has finally released the highly anticipated trailer for season 2 of Loki, unveiling numerous new details that may have gone unnoticed by some viewers. The announcement of this second season at the conclusion of Loki season 1 had sparked excitement, and although some information had already started to surface about the Phase 5 series, the official trailer now offers even more insight into Loki's upcoming adventure. Following a few underwhelming projects in the MCU, fans are hopeful that season 2 of Loki can restore the franchise's former glory, and the initial trailer has certainly heightened expectations.

Set within Phase 4 of the MCU, Loki season 1 followed the variant of Loki who had escaped during the Avengers' Time Heist in Endgame. Captured by the Time Variance Authority (TVA), Loki uncovered the mysteries of the multiverse and joined forces with his own variant to confront He Who Remains, the first variant of Kang the Conqueror in the MCU. After Sylvie's defeat of He Who Remains, the multiverse was unleashed in its entirety, setting the stage for various future MCU projects. The first trailer for Loki season 2 indicates that the upcoming season will be equally significant for the MCU's future, as it has now revealed at least ten major details.

9 Mobius Might Finally Get His Jet Ski In Loki Season 2

In September 2022, Ke Huy Quan joined the cast of Loki season 2 as a TVA archivist who has been revealed in the trailer to be named "OB," also known as Ouroboros. Prior to his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Quan received critical acclaim for his performance in the interdimensional film Everything Everywhere All at Once, which resulted in him winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The trailer for Loki season 2 suggests that OB will be embarking on a mission alongside Loki and Mobius M. Mobius, played by Owen Wilson. However, the extent of his involvement in the series is yet to be revealed. Nevertheless, Quan's debut in Phase 5 of the MCU has generated a great deal of excitement.

In Loki season 1, Mobius often found himself daydreaming about owning a jet ski. This desire came to light when he discovered that all TVA workers were once real people. The season 2 trailer suggests that Mobius's wish may come true as Loki is shown standing in front of Piranha Powersports, a store specializing in jet ski sales. This moment adds to the intrigue surrounding Loki's time-skipping in the trailer, resembling the glitching seen in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. If Mobius is indeed presented with his longed-for jet ski, it would be a satisfying payoff.

8 The MCU's Multiversal War Is Glimpsed In Loki Season 2 (& Could Tease Avengers 5)

7 Loki Season 2 Will Return To He Who Remains' Citadel

: In a fleeting moment captured in the trailer for Loki season 2, there is a glimpse of multiple Kang the Conqueror variants engaged in an intense battle. Reminiscent of the purple and green costumes seen in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's Council of Kangs, each variant showcases their comic book accuracy. It is possible that this artwork alludes to the previous conflict that He Who Remains disclosed during Loki season 1. Alternatively, it could serve as a tantalizing hint towards Phase 6's Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, where numerous Kang variants are anticipated to confront a fresh roster of Avengers within the MCU.

Loki season 1's final episode, "For All Time. Always," took place in the Citadel at the End of Time, the base of He Who Remains. The mysterious Citadel will make a return in Loki season 2, but with a noticeable change in its appearance. Unlike before, the Citadel now appears to be in a state of decay, with broken windows and a partially missing roof, exposed to the chaotic multiverse. Season 1 had Sylvie trapped in the Citadel, but in season 2, it could become an even more significant location as Mobius embarks on a mission in its ominous shadow.

6 New Variants Will Be Introduced In Loki Season 2

As well as reintroducing audiences to the familiar versions of characters, Loki season 2 will also introduce a plethora of additional variants of well-known characters. Throughout the trailer of Loki season 2, one can catch glimpses of multiple versions of Hunter B-15 portrayed by Wunmi Mosaku, Ravonna Renslayer portrayed by Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Casey portrayed by Eugene Cordero. Additionally, there are different iterations of Loki and Sylvie that appear, although it is possible that these variations could simply be changes in their costumes. With Loki season 2 delving further into the multiverse than its predecessor, it presents a thrilling opportunity for an array of intriguing variants to make an appearance in the highly anticipated Phase 5 series.

5 Loki Season 2 Reveals A New Setting

In season 2 of Loki, viewers will be transported to familiar places like the TVA headquarters and He Who Remains' Citadel at the End of Time. However, they will also be introduced to new locations, one of them being Midway Plaisance. In this setting, Loki and Mobius can be seen exploring while dressed in early 20th Century attire. Midway Plaisance is a real park located on the South Side of Chicago. Back in 1893, it hosted the World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair. Interestingly, there are striking similarities between the fairground atmosphere of that era and the area depicted in the Loki season 2 trailer. It is here that Loki and Mobius may witness their first demonstration of advanced technology by Jonathan Majors' character, Victor Timely.

4 Loki Season 2's Trailer Confirms An Unusual Villain Appearance

During one moment in the trailer for Loki season 2, a poster promoting a new film or stage play called "Zaniac!" catches the eye. In Marvel Comics, Zaniac was a powerful being originating from the Dark Dimension, capable of taking possession of human bodies. Once possessed, these individuals would be driven by a relentless bloodlust and a deadly urge to target women. Interestingly, in more recent times, an actor playing the role of Zaniac in a horror movie was mysteriously possessed while shooting at the University of Chicago. This intriguing coincidence, coupled with the introduction of Chicago's famed Midway Plaisance, could potentially indicate the arrival of Zaniac in Loki season 2.

3 Jonathan Majors' Victor Timely Is A Very Important Kang Variant

Marvel Studios has remained silent on the recent assault allegations surrounding Jonathan Majors. However, fans can catch a glimpse of him in the trailer for Loki season 2, where he portrays Victor Timely, a variant of Kang the Conqueror. This character initially appeared in the post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. In the Marvel Comics, Kang traveled back to 1901 and built the town of Timely in Wisconsin. He established factories there to advance technology and silently conquer the Earth well before the formation of the Avengers. While it remains uncertain, it's possible that Majors might portray other iterations of Kang in the upcoming season of Loki, though the extent of his role is not yet clear.

2 Miss Minutes Is A Ghost

The official synopsis of Loki season 2, which was released in June 2023, unveils Loki's quest to locate several missing characters, including Ravonna Renslayer, Sylvie, and Miss Minutes. While Tara Strong reprised her role as the voice of the TVA's anthropomorphic clock mascot in season 1, she will sport a markedly different appearance this time around. In the trailer, Miss Minutes appears as a ghostly figure, hinting at the possibility that she may have met her demise between seasons 1 and 2. Although little is known about Miss Minutes' role in Loki season 2, her significance could be substantial given the precarious state of the TVA's existence.

1 Ravonna Renslayer Goes To The Void

In Loki season 2's trailer, we witness different versions of Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Ravonna Renslayer. These versions include one equipped with a weapon, one donning 19th/20th Century attire, and one seemingly trapped in the desolate Void. Introduced in episode 4 of Loki season 1, titled "The Nexus Event," the Void serves as a dumping ground for objects pruned by the TVA. Within the Void, Alioth, the formidable guardian of He Who Remains, consumes everything. Therefore, Judge Renslayer's appearance in the Void hints at her potential quest to locate He Who Remains. It is plausible that Loki season 2 will delve deeper into her backstory and explore her possible connection to Kang the Conqueror.
