Loki: their Marvel watch route
Loki's screen journey begins in the Thor films, passes through The Avengers and continues in his own series. Following release order avoids explaining the links between those chapters too early. We include appearances that connect his story, even when their screen time varies; this selection is not an inventory of every cameo or animated version of the character.
Watch both seasons of Loki after Endgame, beginning with season one. Although the series returns to elements of The Avengers, starting it before those films can reveal information that works better when discovered in its original context.
Selected major appearances, not an exhaustive list of cameos, credit scenes or animated variants.
