With Loki‘s season 2 finale hitting Disney Plus and The Marvels getting advanced screenings in theaters on the same day, another MCU movie we’re all extremely excited for also just got a big break. Let’s proceed.

For Marvel fans, this is a huge deal, as the list includes both Marvel’s Deadpool 3 and Sony’s Venom 3. Isn’t it a wonderful thing that now writers and performers are free to produce innovative, creative content like third entries in rebooted superhero sagas?

Loki season 2 finale clip reminds us of happier times for the MCU — six weeks ago

Amid Deadpool 3 hype and early The Marvels showings, let’s not overlook the Loki finale too. And the first clip from it is making us weirdly nostalgic… for a month and a half ago. As Loki travels back to the events of the season premiere, it’s easy to get wistful for a time before all those bombshell developments about the MCU’s behind-the-scenes turmoil, before The Marvels opened to a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score, and before Loki season 2 itself lost 39% of its viewership as the weeks rolled by. Siri, how do I learn to time-slip?
