It was strange having no new content from the Marvel Studios in 2020. Over the previous decade, each year saw the release of at least one Marvel movie. But, 2021 is going to be a little different for Marvel Studios as they move to TV programmes. WandaVision started on Disney+ earlier this month. And the next programme in the franchise will be The Falcon and the Winter Solider. After the events in Avengers: End Game where Steve Rogers hands Falcon the shield. Now, this show follows Falcon’s journey as he teams up with Bucky Barnes, The Winter Solider.

In true Marvel Studio style, the is little information about this show. Other than Tom Hiddleston will revive his role as everyone’s favourite trickster. Similarly to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki takes place after the events of Avengers: End Game. As Loki is now in possession of the Tesseract (aka The Time Stone). The question of the plot of this show is more When is it set? Rather than Where?
