Although the God of Mischief has been a character in the MCU since 2011’sĀ Thor, that version of Loki died in 2018’sĀ Avengers: Infinity WarĀ at the hands of Thanos. Later, though, inĀ 2019’s Avengers: Endgame the titular heroes went back in time to retrieve the Infinity Stones. While there, they accidentally allowed a version of Loki to escape following the Battle of New York. This version of the villain soon came into contact with the Time Variance Authority (TVA), a group dedicated to wiping out all variants and pruning other timelines. He eventually teamed up with Mobius M. Mobius and one of his variants, named Sylvie, to unearth the truth about the TVA. This led to a confrontation with He Who Remains, who is a version of Kang the Conqueror, that resulted in massive changes to the multiverse.
