Loki, the God of Mischief (Tom Hiddleston), was speaking to Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), about his life. He confirmed that he has been romantically involved in both men and women. Fans rejoiced when he became the first Marvel Cinematic Universe character to be canonically bisexual.AdvertisementIt was important to me from the moment I joined Loki. Kate Herron soon tweeted that my goal was to admit Loki was bisexual. It is part of him and my identity. Although this is a small step, I am happy and filled with joy to announce that Lokis sexuality will not be explored in the show's final three episodes. The reporter asked if there would be any more exploration into what Loki means to be bisexual on this show. Herron joked that she was trying to answer your question. She also took extra care to not spoil any plot points. This is how we acknowledge it in our story. This will allow for deeper exploration.Herron also responded to her tweet, acknowledging that Lokis sexuality was important but she wasn't ready to congratulate herself or the Marvel team about it. It is very personal to me. I also said that it was small in some ways because he's only talking about it. I think it is massive on a larger scale. It would have been huge if I had seen it when I was 10. It's been great to receive comments online. Some people said that it helped them to talk to their family about how they feel. I was humbled by the comments.It's true. We know that future Marvel films like Eternals and Thor, Love and Thunder will feature more LGBTQIA+ characters. This is great. Marvel is moving in the right direction with its representation. But, it's hard to not wonder when all these characters will be explored beyond being coded in a certain way.Are you curious about where our RSS feed went. The new one can be found here.
