As Marvel prepares for the premieres later this year of Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision, the studio is already hard at work on its next Disney+ series Loki and Deadline has revealed that Gugu Mbatha-Raw (The Morning Show) has now become the latest addition to the show.
Mbatha-Raw’s role is unknown at this point as she joins Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers) and Sophia Di Martino (Yesterday) in the cast of the show. Much like Mbatha-Raw, their roles are also being kept under wraps though Di Martino might appear as a female version of Loki.
Loki sees Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as the God of Mischief – the alternate, still-evil God of Mischief from Avengers: Endgame – and follows him as “the trickster and shapeshifter pops up throughout human history as unlikely influencer on historical events.”
Loki has been developed by Michael Waldron (Rick and Morty), with Kate Herron (Daybreak), and is set to premiere on Disney+ in 2021.
