With the premiere of Secret Invasion just around the corner, Disney + and Marvel Studios are getting ready to receive two other series this year, Loki and Echo. Despite the recent announcement of the decrease in the distribution of content of the company led by Kevin Feige on the streaming platform and in theaters, Tom Hiddleston will return soon to continue his story and Alaqua Cox will have her chance to shine on her own after Hawkeye. .

Deadline confirms that The God of Mischief will return to the platform’s screen on October 6, while the spin-off of the series starring Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld will do so on November 29. Yes, one right after the other, but very far from the ending of the show starring Samuel L. Jackson.

The Loki series is a fundamental element in the construction of the current MCU plot line, since it was the first to establish the rules and elements of the multiverse and where the great villain on duty, played by Jonathan Majors, made his debut, although in a different version than the one seen later in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

As for Echo, beyond connecting with Hawkeye, it is also directly related to upcoming franchise projects like Daredevil: Born Again. In fact, both Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin are expected to appear in the series.

The most interesting thing about the announcement of the arrival of Echo is that, in a surprising change in strategy, Marvel Studios will release all the episodes of the show on the same day and not weekly, as they did with its other productions for the small screen.

Despite the fact that Echo will have an important role in connecting with characters like Daredevil, there is no doubt that the second season of Loki will be the most relevant between the two series for the future of the MCU.

In the final episode of the first part, Loki and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) managed to get through Alioth, reaching the presence behind the threads of time, He Who Remains, the last director of the TVA. He gives them the choice between killing him or allowing him to continue to control free will, eradicating anything that stands in the way of the sacred timeline.

Not agreeing, Loki and Sylvie confront each other but she ends up sending him back to the TVA and murders He Who Remains, not knowing that this will unleash chaos. Already in the offices of the TVA, Loki meets Mobius (Owen Wilson), who does not recognize him, and realizes that he did not fall into the reality he believed.

In the second season of Loki, he will surely try to fix the damage caused by his other version, while continuing to explore time travel and its consequences. The series will most likely see the return of Kang as he rises from the ashes.
