Loki season 2 trailer drops: Jonathan Majors’ supervillain returns and fans are excited

Disney Plus has released the trailer for season two of Loki to follow in the footsteps of the “first truly great superhero movie.”

The gripping trailer shows fans will be in for a treat when the show drops and even takes a sneaky glance the return of Jonathan Majors’ supervillain He Who Remains.

The trailer for the new season has been released over the comic group’s social media channels and also teases the Marvel debut of newcomer Ke Huy Quan’s OB after the end of the first season left on a cliffhanger, with Loki stuck in an unrecognisable universe ravaged by the death of He Who Remains.

Series two will be back with a bang and will pick up where its predecessor left off.

Starring Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk the highly-acclaimed “mastery” of a film wowed critics, setting the bar ”so high” that Marvel fans were left wondering what could come next as the group battled Thor.

And in the new teaser trailer for the second season of Loki, released by Marvel across their social media channels, fans got a glimpse of what could be in store as it showed Owen Wilson’s Mobius travelling with Loki to visit Marvel newbie OB. (Ke Huy Quan recently won an Oscar for his role in Everything Everywhere All At Once.)

In the trailer, it says: “I’ve been pulled through time. Between the past and the present. If what I saw is true... there is nothing that stands between this world and utter destruction.

“War is on its way.”

Scenes of other returning characters — including Eugene Cordero’s Casey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s Ravonna, and Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie — are also shown in the trailer, as Loki and Mobius appear to delve into the past to learn more about Kang, or the man who became He Who Remains.

Speaking when series 2 was officially commissioned, Hiddleston told Marvel.com: “I am so grateful that we got to do season one, I still am not quite able to process that we get to have another go at this. I am so excited by the possibilities. We are already in discussions. Deep, deep, deep discussions. I can’t wait to get started.

“I want to say thank you to the audience because, without the audience, we wouldn’t be able to make a season two. I hope season one was full of surprises. And I think season two will be full of even more.”

The official release date on Disney+ is October 6, 2023, so fans do not have long to wait to find out what those surprises will be.
