Loki Season 3 Gets A Surprisingly Positive Update 1 Year On From Its Ending

Marvel producer reveals a new Yggdrasil-shaped Sacred Timeline on a throne at the end of time. Having made peace with his former and alternate lives, Loki decided to become a hero by sacrificing his freedom in order to protect the multiverse forever. Therefore, Loki season 2 could easily be the very last time Tom Hiddleston's Loki appears on screen.

Speaking to CinePOP during D23 Brasil 2024, Marvel producer Brad Winderbaum was asked whether there was any chance of Loki season 3 happening, to which Winderbaum responded, "there's always a chance". So far, no project in Marvel Studios' current slate for the Multiverse slaga officially features the confirmed appearance of Tom Hiddleston's Loki.

What Loki Season 3's Update Means For The MCU

Loki Season 3 Could Reshape The Entire MCU Multiverse

Loki saved the whole Sacred Timeline by himself, though it's almost certain that multiversal threats like the Council of Kangs will continue to appear. If Loki season 3 ever happens, it would suggest that either the multiverse isn’t as stable as the Loki season 2 finale made it seem, or that new threats are emerging that even Loki’s cosmic influence can’t contain. Loki's return could entail a deeper exploration of multiversal threats and cosmic forces more powerful than He Who Remains himself, ranging from Doctor Doom to The One Above All.

Alternatively, Loki season 3 could bring the God of Stories back to reboot the entire multiverse. Similar to Marvel Comics' Secret Wars storylines, the MCU's Secret Wars crossover could restart the MCU multiverse and start a new, more streamlined continuity. Since Loki is holding the Sacred Timeline together, he could become a key player in this process, perhaps deciding which parts of each timeline survives and how exactly each new timeline is rearranged — a very similar job to the one He Who Remains executed before Loki took his place.

Our Take On Loki Season 3's Chances

Loki Season 3 Risks Undoing Loki Season 2's Ending

While Loki season 3 could either raise the stakes or provide a climactic conclusion to the Multiverse Saga, it could also ruin the perfect sendoff Loki season 2 gave to its main character. By the end of Loki season 2, Tom Hiddleston's Loki found a perfect redemption that required a significant sacrifice but also rewarded him for his selflessness. It also provided a potentially definitive conclusion to Loki's arc without killing him off, which would in turn raise doubts about his whereabouts, as Loki has cheated death multiple times before.
