A new behind-the-scenes video for Disney+'s Loki series features footage teases the mayhem the God of Mischief is set to cause when the show premieres later this month. Loki is the character's first solo story in the MCU after appearing in numerous films, including all three Thor movies and the original Avengers film. The plot picks up after Avengers: Endgame, where Loki disappeared with the Tesseract. Wielding that power allows him the ability to time travel, which he uses to interfere with historical events, bringing unwanted attention.

The show brings back Tom Hiddleston as Loki as well as newcomers to the MCU, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Owen Wilson. The series is set to debut on Disney+ on June 9th with a six-episode run. All episodes are credited to director Kate Herron whose previous work includes directing episodes of Netflix's Sex Education and Daybreak. The series is part of Phase 4 of the MCU, and it will tie in with future projects like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love & Thunder.

In the behind-the-scenes video shared by E!, the show's action is briefly glimpsed as the cast and crew comment on what audiences can expect from the series. Hiddleston says, "Loki is the God of Mischief; we have to do mischievous things." It then quickly cuts to Owen Wilson, who adds, "We're creating real mayhem." As the video highlights the various elements the show is willing to tease, Hiddleston remarks, "This is something I don't think Marvel has ever done." However, the video toys with the cheeky tone of the character and the show by allowing Loki himself to have the final words after a barrage of intense images with, "What did you expect?"

The video shows Loki having fun with his maniacally playful ways, but it also shows a bit of the Time Variance Authority (TVA). The TVA is the organization trying to rein Loki in from his time-hopping exploits, and between action beats, Loki and Wilson's Mobius are cracking jokes, which is very much in line with the overall tone of the MCU. Given that the show deals with a character who wavers between chaotic states of good and evil while still amassing fans, there will be a dichotomy at play. As director Kate Herron says herself, the show is "a mixture of tones and genres," which is perfect for the likes of Loki.

Details about the show are still heavily under wraps as Marvel does with all their properties, but the series looks to wholeheartedly embrace the character that audiences have come to love over the years. While often antagonistic, Loki's journey through the MCU has still endeared him to fans of the series, in no small part to Hiddleston's charismatic performance. As the MCU expanded to television through Disney+, most didn't know exactly what to expect. However, Wandavision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier have proven that the same level of quality and care is being put into these shows both behind the camera and in front of it. With a proven track record of quality, Loki looks set to continue the trend when it premieres later this month.
