The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. These TV projects won’t just be about heroes, as a fan-favorite bad guy is getting his own TV show: Loki.
The TV show, simply titled Loki, will bring Tom Hiddleston back into the MCU as the God of Mischief, who was killed by Thanos at the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War – however, during Mobius M. Mobius, a member of the TVA.
Mobius will play a big role in Loki’s arc, and he has been seen by his side on multiple occasions in the trailers released so far. Mobius isn’t a superpowered character, but in the comics, he has come across a variety of characters who have messed with time for different reasons. Judging by the trailers, Mobius will be a guide to Midnight in Paris.
The comedy-drama Midnight in Paris follows Gil Pender (Owen Wilson), a screenwriter vacationing in Paris with his fiancée and who finds himself traveling back in time every day at midnight thanks to an old car that takes him to the 1920s. There he meets various artists, as are Ernest Hemingway (Corey Stoll) and Pablo Picasso (Marcial Di Fonzo Bo), as well as the Fitzgeralds – Zelda and Scott, played by Alison Pill and Tom Hiddleston. In Midnight in Paris, Wilson’s Gil is the man out of time, and Hiddleston’s F. Scott Fitzgerald is his guide in the 1920s, while in Loki, the title character is the one out of time and Mobius’ role is to show Loki how things in the TVA and the multiverse are supposed to work.
It’s a fun exchange of roles and a curious coincidence how the two times Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson have worked together, time-travel has been involved, and one doesn’t belong in the time of the other. It’s yet to be seen if the relationship between Loki and Mobius will be as good as that of Gil and F. Scott Fitzgerald, but there will surely be some fun moments when these two share the screen.
