Explained simply
Loki is a Marvel television series about a version of Loki, the Asgardian character played by Tom Hiddleston in the films. After escaping with the Tesseract, a powerful object that can transport people, he is taken by the Time Variance Authority, an organisation that monitors changes to time.
The series introduces Sylvie, another version of Loki, and explores the idea of multiple timelines and alternate versions of familiar characters. Its events connect to the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe, the shared story world of Marvel films and television programmes, where the multiverse has become an important theme.
Loki’s role in the story changes over its two seasons, as he takes responsibility for protecting the timelines. That background helps explain why the character is relevant to future Marvel films, including Avengers: Doomsday.
