We need to stay focused on keeping the main thing the main thing, so our attention to detail has been really close [recently].

Following his first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in the 2011 film “Thor,” Loki Laufeyson carved out a place for himself and became a pivotal part of the franchise as a whole. Over the course of his five film appearances, Loki shifts from a troubled and spiteful antagonist to a morally gray antihero and eventually becomes the ultimate hero after an Iron Man-tier self-sacrifice. Without a doubt, Loki stands as a masterclass MCU character with unrivaled character growth and a downright legendary series.
