According to the Disney+ spin-off’s director Kate Herron, it was “very important” for her to incorporate Loki’s bisexuality from the comics into the series. “It is a part of who he is and who I am too,” the screenwriter and director said in a tweet. “I know this is a small step but I’m happy, and heart is so full, to say that this is now canon in #MCU.” With this announcement, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) officially makes history as the first openly bisexual superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the third episode, during an adventure (gone wrong) to a planet known as Lamentis-1, the character had a heartfelt discussion with Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) – a Loki variant – about their parents, powers and love.
