Loki

also known as God of Mischief · Loki Laufeyson · Loki Odinson

The trickster's long road from Asgard's spare heir to the multiverse's caretaker.

24 entries 7 films 17 episodes 28h 31m

Loki starts as a jealous younger brother angling for a throne, spends four films oscillating between villain and reluctant ally, and is killed by Thanos in the first ten minutes of Infinity War. His story then restarts: a 2012 variant escapes with the Tesseract during the Endgame time heist, and the Disney+ series follows that version through the TVA to the end of time. The run splits in two after Infinity War, and the second half is the better half.
