Messing with the Tesseract was a bad idea, apparently. Who knew??

Disney+ 'Loki' trailer sets up a reality-twisting adventure that ties back to 'Avengers'

Loki looks like it'll be a treat for Marvel fans. This expansive new trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series lays out some of what to expect from Tom Hiddleston's first, big solo venture as the MCU's most mischievous Asgardian.

Apparently, Loki's previous Evil Plot(TM) involving the Tesseract — which as we all now know was really just a disguise for one of the Infinity Stones — messed up the timeline pretty bad. Like "hey now there's a bunch of branching realities" bad.

We got a little taste of the screwy timeline in Avengers: Endgame when our ambitious heroes leapt into past movies in order to set themselves up for a win against alt-Thanos. In fact, this show doesn't even follow the original Loki we know and love(?), but rather the variant created as a result of Endgame's shenanigans.

Since that wasn't nearly confusing enough, Loki is is set to dive in even deeper, introducing Marvel movie fans to the Time Variance Authority in a big way and, evidently, taking us to some very weird places in the process. Keep an eye out for some unexpected surprises in this trailer.

Loki's premiere hits Disney+ on June 11.
