Loki Season 2 trailer has just been released ahead of the fall premiere, and it has immediately made MCU history in more ways than one.
On Monday, on July 31, Loki’s shockingly expensive sequel season debuted its first official trailer — 67 days before the Disney+ show’s premiere on October 6. This date is vital because Loki, starring Tom Hiddleston as the God of Mischief, has set a new record within the Marvel universe as the series that can now boast having the shortest gap between a live-action MCU Disney+ show’s first trailer and its official release date (via The Direct).
The record was previously held by Moon Knight, featuring Oscar Isaac in the titular role — it debuted its official trailer on January 18, 2022, 71 days before the Disney+ premiere on March 30, 2022. Interestingly enough, the ill-received Secret Invasion currently holds the opposite record of having the longest gap between a series’ first trailer and its release date. The first Phase Five MCU show dropped its first trailer on September 10, 2022, 284 days before its debut date on June 21, 2023.
As for the other shows following Loki Season 2 and Moon Knight, the gaps of all the MCU series on Disney+ to date in descending order include Secret Invasion with 284 days; What If…? at 243; Loki Season 1 at 180; WandaVision at 117; The Falcon and the Winter Soldier at 98; She-Hulk: Attorney at Law at 93; Ms. Marvel at 85; and Hawkeye at 72.

What to Expect in Loki Season 2?
Now that Loki Season 2 trailer has confirmed that the major plot twist at the end of Season 1 will be explored further, fans are as excited for the October premiere as ever.
