Tom Hiddleston is returning to play Loki in the TV series. ""I know this character now. I feel that the audience knows him. And playing him - and playing him truthfully, but presenting him with new challenges, which then I'd have to change him in different ways, is the most exciting aspect of it," he told MTV.

"You've got his very specific gifts. His intelligence, treachery, his mischief, his magic, and then seeing him come up against more formidable opponents, the like of which he has never seen or known. I wish I could tell you what happens, but I can't."

Loki is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with all the other films of the franchise. The series takes place after the events of the film Avengers: Endgame (2019), in which an alternate version of Loki created a new timeline.
