Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige, gives an update on the production of Loki season 2 on Disney+. Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has found immense success on the small screen with WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and, now the animated What If…? Of the three live-action shows, Loki was the only one confirmed for a second season. Not long after Tom Hiddleston’s titular character found himself in a very different Time Variance Authority, a case file in season 1’s end-credits read “Loki will return in season 2.”

“For All Time, Always” saw Loki and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) finally confront the man behind the TVA, He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors). In the episode’s final moments, Sylvie rejected the notion of “infinite devils,” stabbed He Who Remains, and unleashed multiversal madness on the MCU—an event that presumably set up Kang the Conqueror as the new big bad and leads into films like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Not much is known about Loki season 2 aside from it will not be directed by Kate Herron and will, of course, star Hiddleston.

In a recent interview with Collider during press day for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Kevin Feige gave an update on the production of Loki season 2. Without revealing much about where it would fall in Phase 4/5, he confirmed that development is underway and hopes much of season 1’s team will return. Read what he had to say below:

“It is underway. We’re developing it as we speak,” said Feige. “The hope is that much of the same team will return. Kate is going on to bigger and better things, so the director search will begin shortly.”

Regarding the filming of the second season, Feige went on to say that he’s “not sure exactly where it falls between next year and the year after.” Hiddleston will reportedly appear as Loki in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Majors will star as Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Loki season 2 will, at the very least, take place after the events of the Doctor Strange sequel unless season 2 picks up exactly where season 1 left off. What happens to Loki after he discovers Kang has conquered the TVA could be shown on the big screen or in flashbacks. With the TVA existing outside of time (in the Quantum Realm), Ravonna Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) in search of free will, Sylvie's whereabouts unkown, the multiverse concept in full effect, there’s no telling who will show up when.

Where WandaVision leads into the next Doctor Strange film, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier set up Captain America 4. Loki is in the unique position of setting up not one film but several and a second season. Like the other live-action shows, Loki was not originally planned as an ongoing series. The decision to make a second season was actually made during production, which altered the final episode. What If…? has also been confirmed for a second season as it traverses the multiverse. That said, Hiddleston has voiced another variant of his character for that series.
