Loki Season 2 Getting Saucy This Month with McDonald's New Meal Deal

McDonald's will offer a special sauce this month in honor of Marvel Studios & Disney+'s Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson-starring Loki Season 2.

Because it worked so well during that second go-around with Adult Swim's Rick and Morty (we'll leave it to you to determine the appropriate level of sarcasm there), Mcdonald's has a new meal collection hitting on August 14th that will tie in directly with the second season of Marvel Studios & Disney+'s Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson & Sophia Di Martino-starring Loki. The "As Featured In Meal" is a collection of menu items that have made iconic appearances throughout film, television, and music – and will be available in more than 100 countries across the globe along with a bunch of extra stuff. But what about the food, and how does it connect with the MCU series? While the meal will vary globally, in general? You have a choice of 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, or Big Mac Sandwich (along with medium french fries, a medium soft drink, and… wait for it… the newly-branded Sweet 'N Sour Sauce inspired by the streaming series). But hold onto those sauce lids because you can scan them with a Loki-themed AR experience on Snapchat (with custom exclusive content available weekly throughout the promotion).

With the second season of the hit streaming series set to hit screens on October 6th, here's a look at the official trailer for Marvel Studios & Disney+'s Loki (along with an official season overview and cast rundown):

Loki Season 2 picks up in the aftermath of the shocking season finale when Loki finds himself in a battle for the soul of the Time Variance Authority. Along with Mobius, Hunter B-15, and a team of new and returning characters, Loki navigates an ever-expanding and increasingly dangerous Multiverse in search of Sylvie, Judge Renslayer, Miss Minutes, and the truth of what it means to possess free will and glorious purpose.

Loki Season 2 stars Hiddleston, Di Martino, Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Eugene Cordero, Rafael Casal, Tara Strong, Kate Dickie, Liz Carr, and Neil Ellice, with Jonathan Majors and Ke Huy Quan. Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Dan Deleeuw, and Kasra Farahani direct episodes. The head writer is Eric Martin. Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, Kevin R. Wright, Tom Hiddleston, Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Eric Martin, and Michael Waldron are the executive producers, with Trevor Waterson serving as co-executive producer.

Loki Season 2 & Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

With the second season's worth of misadventures for The God of Mischief on the way, the question needs to be asked. How did Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania impact Loki Season 2? We're throwing on the "MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!" sign and throwing down an image spoiler buffer before we go forward with anything. You've been warned…

Of course, we get an end credits scene connecting to the streaming series – it only makes sense. But this one is definitely a bit different. In the segment, Loki (Hiddleston) & his TVA "buddy cop" partner Mobius (Wilson) are in the audience of what appears to be an event hall of some type in the early 1900s. On stage is a performer who introduces himself as "Victor Timely" – you know where this is going, right? Because "Victor" is actually Kang – or a variant of Kang, to be more precise. Making the connection between Victor and He Who Remains, Loki offers Mobius the heads-up: "That's him." But based on what he's seeing, Mobius' reaction is pretty understandable: "I thought you said he was terrifying?" And that's when Loki gets to his friend with a perfect set-up for a cliffhanger: "He is." Just from the name "Victor Timely" alone, we have another connection to Kang already in play (as Marvel.com explains here). With the second season of the streaming series expected to hit later this year, it won't be long before we get some answers. But with "The Multiversal Saga" getting underway and all roads leading to Secret Wars, we have a feeling a lot more questions are on the way, too.
