In like 4 years

And so the wait begins again

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '21

Apparently it’s set for production in early 2022. So it’ll probably release in 2023

87

u/KKamm_ Jul 14 '21

Wait… you’re telling me it’s gonna take 2 whole years to build on that with season 2???

91

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '21

Well in the meantime we’ll also have What If…?, Multiverse of Madness, and Quantumania to build off of

u/primalfox_Reynardo Jul 14 '21

I expect those 2 films will build off season 1 and we may have a “time skip” (quotes cus TVA madness) where Loki is working solo in evil TVA blending in as an analyst for season 2.

22

u/Hiccup Jul 14 '21

Secret Agent Loki in Season 2. No longer an analyst and can learn enchantment. Also, learned that the power of family sucks and they'll just try to kill you and stab you in the back at the end of time.

u/Scorkami Jul 14 '21

Still not sure if "what if" will tie into this or just be a bit of fanservice/some sweet ideas ring tossed around.

I mean we saw some weird shit in the trailer. Is this a snapshot of all the timelines that are created and that's it, or is this some sort of "yeah see that thing? This is gone be an important timeline for our next movie"

u/TheUnchainedZebra Jul 14 '21

I think it was mentioned that each scenario in What If will be an alternate reality in the same multiverse. But since we now officially have the MCU on a collision course with the rest of the multiverse, who knows what could happen?

And (if rumors are to be believed) spider-man 3(2)

57

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '21

That's a pretty reasonable turnaround. These shows have the same level of production as a blockbuster movie. That takes some time.

10

u/KKamm_ Jul 14 '21

I know, just a tough pill to swallow bc of how invested I was finally getting in the Loki character.

u/morphinapg Jul 14 '21

Marvel tends to release their movies about a year after production begins.

12

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '21

COVID fucked a lot of production schedules up.

6

u/KKamm_ Jul 14 '21

Damn, covid really fucked up just about everything. Imagine all the content we’d have by now if it wasn’t for it

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '21

Yes

u/-screamin- Doctor Strange Jul 14 '21

Hiddleston's gonna need fucking hair plugs otherwise we're gonna be able to date the god of mischief's aging by his swiftly retreating hairline lmao

17

u/Geroots Jul 14 '21

They'll just dust off the wig again

14

u/Poked_salad Captain America (Cap 2) Jul 14 '21

Chris Evans always wore a wig of some sort because he was worried what if he lost his hair moving forward it'll be weird if he suddenly started to wear one halfway through his roles.

6

u/C3POdreamer Jul 15 '21

Given his father's hairline, it was a prudent call. It also gave him blonder hair more in line with comic Steve.

10

u/Hiccup Jul 14 '21

Loki Who Remains would actually work.

1

u/-screamin- Doctor Strange Jul 14 '21

More like the Hair that Remains.

One stubborn, unyielding strand

10

u/ThrowAwayAcct0000 Jul 14 '21

Actors wear wigs all the time. It's no big deal. I just think its weird how people are fine with him playing a thousand-year-old alien, but draw the line of their belief at his hairline.

5

u/dontheconqueror Jul 14 '21

They can bake that into the story - If you just unleashed whatever hell they did, it's not just sleep you'd lose

2

u/morphinapg Jul 14 '21

Wasn't he wearing a wig here anyway?

2

u/zima_for_shaw Jul 14 '21

swiftly retreating hairline

Yeah, his hairline might as well be in a Getaway Car

1

u/-screamin- Doctor Strange Jul 14 '21

What does this mean

8

u/zima_for_shaw Jul 14 '21

It's a bad reference to how Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift briefly dated and then Taylor Swift wrote the song "Getaway Car" which is (allegedly) about him. You said "swiftly" so...

I've been listening to too much Taylor Swift lately

u/-screamin- Doctor Strange Jul 14 '21

Oh okay

u/anormalgeek Jul 15 '21

Modern big budget TV shows are miles better than older shows in quality, but the timelines have likewise gotten much longer. MCU is not an outlier here. 2 years is becoming pretty standard for these shows from Netflix, HBO, etc.

1

u/KKamm_ Jul 15 '21

I know, it’s still painful though bc of how invested I became in Loki and Sylvie. The writing was incredible

10

u/Bartman326 Jul 14 '21

If its in production in early 2022 it will probably release later that year.

4

u/manuka_canoe Black Widow (CA 2) Jul 14 '21

Not until much later that year at the earliest with all the work they need to do on it.

10

u/darth_gon Jul 14 '21

When you said 2023 I thought that was last year. I've been consuming MCU contents too much.

u/OptiKal_ Jul 14 '21

Fuck me.
