Whatever variant they meet will likely be very interested in time travel through the Quantum Realm, as the title Quantumania suggests. The movie is set to premiere in The branching timelines could be a useful plotting device.

They could explain why the Hulk vision Abomination, a villain we thought was long gone in the MCU, shows up in the trailer for Shang-Chi. Maybe these characters exist on another timeline. Or we could be meeting an alternate timeline Jane where she, not Thor, became the Goddess of Thunder. Heck, branching timelines could be a way to introduce the X-Men and Fantastic Four without awkward questions about where these characters have been in the main timeline for years and years.

The possibilities are endless. And things are just going to get more and more interconnected—and, undoubtedly, crazier. The original version of this story misstated the name of one of the actors who plays Spider-Man.

Miss Minutes promises Loki the chance to kill the Mad Titan, so he may ultimately be stopped anyway.

However, by all indications, many of the events that preceded the Mad Titan's arrival on Earth would be wiped away. In the Loki premiere, Hiddleston's character explains how Earth would be under his rule. Mobius Owen Wilson questions Loki about his plans to take over Earth and other worlds in the episode, and the God of Mischief says he " would've made it easy for them. Thor: Ragnarok also gives a glimpse of what life under Loki would be like.

In the movie, Loki briefly rules Asgard in place of Odin Anthony Hopkins , building statues to himself and putting on plays about his life starring Matt Damon. However, one Avengers line may indicate that things wouldn't go so smoothly. If he had won the Battle of New York, the Chitauri would spread destruction everywhere they go. Though Loki thinks his rule " would've made it easy " for his subjects, the Avengers line proves that's completely wrong.

Loki shows the God of Mischief's ambition wouldn't stop at Earth. When Mobius questions what Loki would do after taking over the planet, Hiddleston's character says he would extend his empire to Asgard and the Nine Realms. Because of this, he could potentially successfully bring another Chitauri invasion.

Loki instead decides to focus his energy on his own endeavors, including reigning as the rightful king of Jotunheim over his fellow frost giants having grown past his former trade as a trickster. Initially one of the biggest supervillains in the Marvel Universe and Thor's lifelong nemesis, Loki has come a long way in recent years to work alongside the heroes, with the occasional self-centered flourish.

Whenever Asgard has faced an epic threat, most notably including Malekith's monstrous army during the crossover event War of the Realms , Loki has shown his true allegiance to his adoptive family and has stood in defense of Asgard. Recently, Loki joined Asgard to take a stand against Thor's villainous alter ego Donald Blake, with Loki exacting the final punishment on the rogue persona.

Loki is well on his way towards achieving the redemption and honor that has eluded him for years and, for such an offer to come from Thor, the God of Mischief is more insulted than amused that his brother would attempt to capitalize on his shady past.
