Jonathan Majors’ 'Loki' Poster Showcases He Who Remains
Last Wednesday, Loki debuted its season finale, which thoroughly shocked fans with its surprise twist and frustratingly exciting cliffhanger. In order to celebrate the ending of the acclaimed first season, Marvel Studios released the final character poster for its “villain” that Loki and Sylvie take on — He Who Remains. Unlike WandaVision or The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki‘s reveal launched more questions than answers, and ended on a very ambiguous cliffhanger (thank god there’s a second season coming).
Loki was easily one of the most ambitious projects that Marvel has ever taken on (note: major spoilers ahead). It follows our favorite anti-hero as he discovers that he is a variant among numerous other Lokis that do not fit “the Sacred Timeline,” as purported by the Time Variance Authority (TVA). He discovers that another variant, a female Loki named Sylvie, is trying to take down the TVA, as they destroyed her life and erased all possibility of free will for the universe. We originally believe that the “Time-Keepers,” ancient beings who have the ability to see the future are in charge, but in episode four it is revealed that these are automatons hiding the identity of the real mastermind behind the Sacred Timeline.
