Following up on Disney’s announcement, Loki actor Tom Hiddleston has offered a brief tease with a post on Twitter, where he isn’t typically active.
It consists of a simple image with a few brief sentences: “Loki. More stories to tell. More mischief to make. More to come.” You can see this for yourself below and read on for what few details Disney and Marvel had to share.

While major change is afoot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it moves toward Phase 4, those eager for more from certain existing characters are in luck. Disney and Marvel have confirmed plans to create a Disney+ show centered around Loki, with actor Tom Hiddleston set to return to the role.
Unfortunately, there were few details shared beyond that basic premise. This confirmation came as part of a broader announcement about Disney+, which is now officially the name of the company’s upcoming streaming service.
“Disney+ is also assembling a live-action series centered around a fan-favorite character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Iger today confirmed that Marvel Studios is developing a series based on Loki, the god of mischief, to star Tom Hiddleston.”
That’s right. Not only will the show be picked up by Disney’s new streaming service, Disney+, but the role of Loki will be picked back up by Tom Hiddleston, who proved himself quite worthy with his portrayal of the villain in all three “Thor” films as well as the “Avengers” franchise, with his latest work in “Avengers: Infinity War“. The show’s timeline remains unclear, meaning the fate of Thor’s spiteful sorcerer of a brother after the last “Avengers” film is still up in the air, but for now all we know is that Tom is in and according to his recent return from a Twitter hiatus, he’s ready for “more mischief”!
It remains to be seen what these shows ultimately look like, but it’s clear Disney plans on leveraging its biggest brands to help Disney+ compete with Netflix. In addition to the Loki show, we’ll also be seeing a live-action Star Wars series called The Mandalorian coming from Jon Favreau.
