McDonald’s is collaborating with the Disney+ “Loki” series through a newly-announced special sauce coming to restaurants to promote season 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe series.
‘Loki’ Special Sauce
As IGN reports, McDonald’s is drawing inspiration from Tom Hiddleston’s Asgardian trickster to dish out a Loki-branded sauce in the coming weeks. In a tweet from the fast food giant below, there’s a brief video with “no spoilers” written as the post.
The video features clips of movies and TV shows that have referenced McDonald’s over the years, including “Seinfeld” and “Coming to America,” along with an extremely brief, sneaky shot of Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie working at a McDonald’s in season 2 of “Loki.”
It is currently uncertain if the collaboration will involve either the rebranding of a preexisting sauce or an entirely new idea.
‘Loki’ Season 2
The “Loki” TV series is based on the popular Marvel Cinematic Universe character portrayed by Tom Hiddleston. “Loki” season 1 debuted on June 9, 2021, and consisted of six episodes.
A recently-released trailer for its second season introduces Ke Huy Quan’s character OB and sees the return of several “Loki” season 1 stars, including Owen Wilson’s Mobius M. Mobius.
This takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.” Spoiler alert: after the “Avengers” version of Loki steals the Tesseract in “Avengers: Endgame,” that Loki variant is brought to the Time Variance Authority (TVA). The organization exists outside of time and space, monitoring it to ensure everything is in their vision of order.
A Disney+ promotional video showed a peek at season 2, while additional leaked set photos revealed a new costume for Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie. In addition to the returning actors, Wunmi Mosaku (Hunter B-15) and Ke Huy Quan (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) will be joining the cast.
Exclusive footage was shown at the D23 Expo last year, but remains unavailable online. According to Empire Magazine, the footage featured Loki back at the TVA, being pulled through time as he tries to warn everyone about Kang. Mobius and Hunter B-15 still don’t recognize him. It will connect to Marvel’s ongoing multiverse saga.
