In terms of fan-favorite Disney+ series in the MCU, “Loki” ranks near the top of the list.

“Loki” stars Tom Hiddleston as the God of Mischief in fish-out-of-water misadventures with the bureaucratic Time Variance Authority (TVA for short). After Loki steals the Tesseract, he stumbles into the TVA’s clutches, who leave him with an ultimatum: either they erase him from existence, or he helps fix the timeline to stop a greater threat. Of course, given Loki, chaos ensues, spilling out over multiple timelines (and alternate Lokis!).
Dickie joins the Season 2 cast which sees Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Eugene Cordero, and Tara Strong reprise their roles from the first season. Other newcomers for Season 2 include Rafael Casal and Ke Huy Quan.  Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead direct the entire sex-episode second season of “Loki,” fresh off their stint on another Marvel Disney+ show, “Moon Knight.”  Eric Martin pens all six episodes.  
American audiences best know Dickie as Lysa Arron on HBO‘s “Game Of Thrones.” Other major roles include BBC‘s “Tinseltown” as Lex. Recent TV credits for Dickie include “Inside Man,” “Summer Camp Island,” and Steve McQueen‘s anthology “Small Axe.”  
For those who watched “Loki,” that series introduced a significant character into the MCU who shows up again in February’s “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania.” So, expect the show’s new season also to have big implications for the MCU’s future. And, of course, stay tuned for more news on “Loki” Season 2 into 2023 as the series approaches its premiere date
