Gugu Mbatha-Raw Joins LOKI Disney Plus Series

Gugu Mbatha-Raw ("Beyond the Lights", "The Morning Show") has joined the cast of the upcoming Marvel series "Loki", which is being developed for Disney Plus. The show's cast already includes franchise veteran Tom Hiddleston who will reprise the titular role, and newcomers Sophia Di Martino and Owen Wilson, whose roles are being kept under wraps.

Mbatha-Raw joins the show as a female lead. All that is known about the plot at this time is that it will take place after the events of "Avengers: Endgame". Although Loki was killed by Thanos in the opening scene of "Avengers: Infinity War", when the Avengers travelled back in time to 2012, that timeline's Loki was seen stealing the Tesseract and disappearing. So time travel and multiverses have made the character's continued existence in the franchise possible.

Production on "Loki" is already underway and the show will debut in 2021. The series was created by "Rick and Morty" writer Michael Waldron, who is also serving as executive producer and wrote the pilot episode.
