The Mystery of Loki’s Fate

When it comes to Marvel, nothing is ever really set in stone. Just ask Michael Waldron, the mastermind behind Loki. Recently, during a Reddit AMA for his new Hulu project Chad Powers, he dropped some intriguing hints about the Norse God of Mischief and dodged questions like a pro. Fans, of course, couldn’t resist poking around for juicy behind-the-scenes tidbits about the hit series.

Loki’s Wild Finale

In case your memory’s a bit fuzzy (or maybe you might’ve just binged the series two weeks ago), the season 1 finale of Loki was quite the rollercoaster. Loki and Sylvie had a showdown with He Who Remains at the Citadel at the End of Time, learning that he was the puppet master behind the Sacred Timeline to keep the multiverse from going bonkers. Sylvie, being the rebel she is, decided to off him despite Loki’s heartfelt pleas, turning time into a total mess and leaving our hero in a sticky situation.

The AMA Clue Dropping

During the AMA, a curious fan tossed a question Waldron’s way, begging for a glimpse into a scrapped alternate ending. Apparently, Waldron had some funky ideas brewing for Loki’s first season that didn’t quite make the final cut. While he teetered on the edge of spilling the beans, he ultimately fell back on the classic Marvel mantra: “Never say never.” He hinted that maybe—just maybe—there’s a chance we could see that alternate ending one day.

A Happier Loki?

Now, let’s gossip a little more about what was on the cutting room floor. According to the insider scoop from Loki: The Art of the Series, our beloved Loki was once set to have a much more cheerful farewell. The original plan was to give him a suave exit, embarking on grand escapades across different realms. However, it appears that thanks to Marvel Studios’ business savvy—and those impressive viewing numbers on Disney+—they decided to keep the story rolling with a season 2.

What’s Next for the Mischief Maker?

So, what does the future hold for our favorite trickster? Well, he’s set to strut his stuff again in Avengers: Doomsday next year! But hold your applause—it’s still a mystery whether we’ll see the Disney+ version of Loki or a completely new variant diving into all the multiversal madness.

Fingers crossed for some answers soon, but until then, let’s stay tuned and keep speculating!
