Tom Hiddleston’s Avengers character Loki is getting his very own TV spin-off series, Marvel has announced.

The show will premiere on forthcoming streaming service Disney+ and will revolve around the brother of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, who was last seen in Avengers: Endgame.

Hiddleston took on the role of Loki in 2011’s Thor and has starred in the subsequent sequels as well as the Avengers movies.
