Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Marvel Studios’ Loki series for Disney+ was already in production. Within the series, Gugu Mbatha-Raw will play the female lead opposite Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. And according to Mbatha-Raw, Loki will explore some new developments for the God of Mischief.
“It goes to other places and you get to see [Loki] mature in a different way,” said Mbatha-Raw during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “It’s going to be exciting for the fans to really see Tom and that character take the center of the story.”
However, Mbatha-Raw declined to share details about her character or even the tone of the series.

Avengers: Endgame set up the Loki series by creating a branching timeline in which he escaped after the Battle of New York. During the Marvel Studios Super Bowl commercial, Loki was apparently imprisoned by the Time Variance Authority. Within the Marvel comic book universe, the TVA polices the multiverse and alternate timelines. Loki also promised to burn the TVA to the ground in that clip, despite being their captive. It’s unknown if Mbatha-Raw’s character works for the TVA or if she’s an ally of Loki.
