WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Loki Episode 3, "Lamentis," streaming now on Disney+.
Marvel Studios released a Loki poster featuring the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Time-Keepers doing what they do best: monitoring the timeline.
The poster, which was uploaded to the show's Twitter account, offers a better look at the statues supposedly modeled after the the Time Variance Authority's mysterious overseers. Of course, many viewers believe there's more to the trio of characters than meets the eye.
According to those who work at the TVA, the MCU's Time-Keepers were responsible for ending the great multiversal war and creating the Sacred Timeline, a predetermined flow of events which the TVA is tasked with upholding. However, as of Episode 3, "Lamentis," Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief has yet to meet the Time-Keepers in person, leading fans to speculate they're not what they seem.
One of the more popular fan theories is that temporal judge Ravonna Renslayer is the one who actually runs the TVA, not the Time-Keepers. Another theory posits the Time-Keepers are really just a cover used by an older version of Loki played by Richard E. Grant, who role on the series has yet to be revealed. Moreover, it's come to light the TVA's agents are really variants whose existence threatened to disrupt the Sacred Timeline, much like the God of Mischief on the show and Sylvie, a Loki variant from another timeline. As such, it begs the question: what other secrets is the TVA hiding?
Whatever reveals are yet to come on the show could end up having a major impact on the MCU moving forward. Loki head writer Michael Waldron teased as much ahead of the series' premiere, saying, "I think that certainly our aim with the Loki series was for it to have wide-reaching ramifications across the MCU moving forward." Most notably, the show is expected to feed directly into the events of the films Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, both of which reportedly center on stories involving the multiverse being thrown into chaos.
Loki stars Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant, Sasha Lane and Eugene Cordero. New episodes air Wednesdays on Disney+.
