The 'Loki' finale provided a crucial piece of information in the credits

Did you miss that important piece of information from the credits?

No, there’s was not a post-credit scene in the finale of Loki on Disney+. But — and it’s a big but — the credits did reveal crucial information about the series. It’s not over.

That’s right. Buried in the credits, you’ll find a moment where it cuts to an envelope. There’s a red stamp on the top of a file that reads: “LOKI WILL RETURN IN SEASON 2.” And it’s likely that season will be as wild as this first season.

We won’t get into spoilers or plot points from season one for the sake of those who haven’t finished it yet. But if Marvel hadn’t disclosed the information about the second season, it would be impossible to know if they’d continue it. It seemed like the events in the final episode would tie in directly to a number of the upcoming movies, including Spider-Man: No Way Home and Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (which has the same head writer, Michael Waldron, as Loki). But now, Loki won’t just tie into the movies. It will tie into its second season, which will likely weave into the upcoming movies.

The details are hazy in the wake of the announcement. There are a few initial reports on the topic, including the suggestion that filming could begin in January 2022 and the suggestion that Waldron could be involved in “some capacity,” per Deadline. Not only will Waldron be working on the next Dr. Strange movie, but he’s also going to work on a Star Wars script under Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios.

Loki is the first Marvel show on Disney+ to announce a second season. The studio has made no such announcement for WandaVision or The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
