Loki Teaser: The God of Mischief Knows He's Good, Bad & A Bit of Both

Earlier this week, Disney+ and Marvel Studios' Loki offered a look at our four main players ahead of the series premiere next month, gifting the high honor of a character key art profile poster upon Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief, TVA Agent Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson), Gugu Mbatha-Raw's TVA Judge Ravonna Lexus Renslayer, and Wunmi Mosaku's Hunter B-15. This time around, we're back to the teasers as we see exactly why it's going to take someone like Loki to fix the mess he made of the timeline. As you're about to see, he's just the right mix of everything to get the job done (and come out the better for it).

Here's a look at the newest teaser for Disney+ and Marvel Studios' Loki, set to kick off its six-episode run on Wednesday, June 9:

In the teaser "Clocks," Loki's time for glory is now… but the clock keeps ticking and time waits for no man- or god:

Here's a look at why The God of Mischief shouldn't be taking Mobius and the TVA for granted (because they're definitely not approaching him the same way):

Now here's a look back at the preview released during the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards: followed by a previously-released teaser:

In an interview with Empire, Hiddleston teased that there is a lot that viewers could learn about the upcoming series by taking a close look at the series logo. "I want to preserve the freshness of the show for when it emerges, but something to think about is the [show's] logo, which seems to refresh and restore," Hiddleston teased. "The font of how Loki is spelled out seems to keep changing shape. Loki is the quintessential shapeshifter. His mercurial nature is that you don't know whether, across the MCU, he's a hero or a villain or an anti-hero. You don't know whether you can trust him. He literally and physically changes shape into an Asgardian guard, or into Captain America repeatedly. Thor talks about how he could change into a snake."

For Hiddleston, that logo speaks to the heart of one of the show's main themes. "I think that shapeshifting logo might give you an idea that Loki, the show, is about identity, and about integrating the disparate fragments of the many selves that he can be, and perhaps the many selves that we are," Hiddleston explained. "I thought it was very exciting because I've always found Loki a very complex construct. Who is this character who can wear so many masks, and changes shape, and seems to change his external feeling on a sixpence?"

Set to hit the streaming service on June 11 with Waldron leading the writing team and executive-producing, and Kate Herron (Sex Education) directing and executive producing, the series finds Hiddleston's God of Mischief on the run and on a mission during his unexpected, time-traveling walkabout. Joining Hiddleston and Wilson on the series are Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Lexus Renslayer, Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15, Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant, Sasha Lane, Erika Coleman, and Eugene Cordero.
