The sole reason why Loki’s first season performed so well was because of its stellar cast that perfectly embodied their respective characters. Expect nothing less from the second season’s cast as well!
In Marvel Studio’s D23 footage, 8 MCU characters were officially revealed to be the members of the original cast. And in 2022, Feige confirmed that the existing cast members of the first season will all reprise their roles. So, to round it up, expect to see the following in the upcoming new batch of episodes:

The Plot is About To Thicken in Loki Season 2
The shocking season finale of the first season left a lot of room for the second season to follow. So, the plot can go in any direction!
Tom Hiddleston was generous enough to share a small detail about the sequel. According to him, Loki Season 2 will likely revolve around ‘the war for the soul of the TVA.’ The official trailer has also given us an ample amount of information, which we have discussed later in the article!
The consequences of the first season’s extreme actions will definitely play a major role in how the sequel proceeds. Well, now the multiverses have entered the picture, which means things are about to become a lot messier. To explain it in simpler terms, the second chapter will connect the story to the Multiverse Saga!
Sophia Di Martino revealed while talking to RadioTimes that she’s not sure about her character’s involvement in the second chapter. She also added that if anyone is searching for Easter eggs to find out more about the sequel, then Sylvia’s last few scenes will be of much help. Furthermore, Marvel has confirmed that Sylvie will return in the upcoming season!
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania marked the beginning of Phase 5 of Marvel and properly introduced Kang the Conquerer to us. As we already know, Marvel shows are interconnected, his character will be tied to the second chapter in some way or another. While he was killed off in Ant-Man and the Wasp, the end-credits scenes revealed lots and lots of King Variants!
Loki and Mobius are aware of these variants, which gives us an idea that they’ve been keeping track of them all along.
Loki’s character will be given a new edge; the writers have put in a lot for his emotional development!
Now, it remains to be seen how many of these theories will make it to the final cut! Rest assured, we’ll keep adding more to this site if the official sources tip us about anything substantial.
