Tom Hiddleston's Journey as Loki Concludes in Marvel Cinematic Universe

In the 'Loki' Season 2 finale, the God of Mischief takes on a new role overseeing all timelines, marking the end of Hiddleston's 14-year tenure in the MCU.

  • Tom Hiddleston's 14-year journey as Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has come to an end with the conclusion of 'Loki' Season 2. In the finale, Loki takes on a new role overseeing all timelines.
  • Hiddleston's Loki was first introduced in 'Thor' (2011) as a villainous threat. Over the years, the character evolved, appearing in several MCU films and the Disney+ series 'Loki', where he was forced to help the Time Variance Authority (TVA) catch a dangerous variant of himself.
  • In the season finale, Loki destroys the Temporal Loom, a device that maintains the Sacred Timeline, and rearranges the timelines into a tree-like structure, committing himself to oversee the branches alone at the End of Time.
  • The conclusion of Loki's character arc in the MCU sees him finding his ultimate purpose. This was confirmed by 'Loki' writer Eric Martin, who stated that they approached the series as two halves of a book, with the second season closing the book on Loki and the TVA.
  • Despite the end of his journey as Loki, Hiddleston's character development has been compared to that of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), establishing him as a Marvel legend for decades to come.
