Though Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson (Mobius), and Sophia Di Martino were reportedly set to appear in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), fans will finally see the continuation of the epic cliffhanger at the end of Loki season one.
More about Loki
After stealing the Tesseract during the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), an alternate version of Loki is brought to the mysterious Time Variance Authority (TVA), a bureaucratic organization that exists outside of time and space and monitors the timeline. They give Loki a choice: face being erased from existence due to being a “time variant”, or help fix the timeline and stop a greater threat. Loki ends up trapped in his own crime thriller, traveling through time.

As fans saw in Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Loki died at the hands of Thanos on Asgard as the God of Mischief attempted to assassin the planet killer. Loki is dead, but only in the year 2018. In Avengers: Endgame (2019), in 2023 (five years after Infinity War), Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) cracks the time travel code and brings back his fellow Avengers to various points in time to retrieve the Infinity Stones.
Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) go back to New York in 2012 to retrieve the Space Stone/Tesseract. Unfortunately, in the mix of getting the stone and then dropping it, the 2012 Loki sneakily steals it and is transported to the Gobi Desert (as we saw in the opening of Loki).

The Marvel Universe is becoming much more than iconic characters/Earth’s Mightiest Heroes like Star-Lord/Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Hawkeye/Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner), Vision (Paul Bettany), Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers (Brie Larson).
Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man Avenger is leading the way for Marvel Cinematic Universe newcomers Kate Bishop, Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), Moon Knight (Oscar Isaac), Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany), Eternals’ Thena (Angelina Jolie), and more — especially with his next Spider-Man trilogy that’s currently in the works.
