Glorious. 

The god of mischief strikes again - Loki’s release date on Disney+ has been moved up by two days. Marvel Studios have announced that Loki will now premiere on 9 June, 2020 with new episodes every Wednesday.

Previous Marvel originals like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision premiered on Fridays, but it looks like Disney is trying to avoid cannibalising Star Wars: The Bad Batch, which now premieres on Fridays too. As Loki himself says in the video above, “Wednesdays... are the new Fridays.”

Marvel also released a new 30-second trailer for Loki, which features the god of mischief on an adventure throughout space and time - eventually taking him to a disastrous trip to Pompeii with an erupting volcano. It looks like Owen Wilson’s Mobius M. Mobius is trying his best to convince the Time Variance Authority that Loki is a valuable asset to their team, but Loki’s getting into trouble way too much for them to buy it. Poor Mobius.

Loki also stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant. Kate Herron directs the series with Michael Waldron as head writer. The series will consist of six episodes, but a second season is also in development.
