Loki revealing that he's bisexual in episode 3 of the Disney+ show.

In the third episode of Disney+'s Loki, Tom Hiddleston's god confirms he's dated men in the past. While chatting with Sylvie, a female variant of himself, the two get on the topic of love, when Sylvie asks:

"How about you? Must’ve been would-be princesses or perhaps, another prince."

"A bit of both," Loki replies. "I suspect the same as you."

The scene (which naturally features bisexual lighting), was apparently one of the big moments for show director Kate Herron, who tweeted, "It was very important to me, and my goal, to acknowledge Loki was bisexual. It is a part of who he is and who I am too."


Marvel has been criticized for its lack of LGBTQ+ representation in the MCU, with the closest thing to gay representation being a gay extra character in Avengers: Endgame.

The revelation is kept to a small one-liner in the episode and is hardly noteworthy in the grand scheme of the TV show, but still, Twitter users were delighted that an LGBTQ lead finally appeared in the MCU.


There are still multiple episodes to see if the show will expand upon Loki's sexuality or merely keep it to an acknowledgment, but for now, Marvel fans can rest assured one of the universe's main characters is queer.

I kinda assume every ancient nordic or greek character in media is gay or bi since they kinda don't care about sexuality in general like Zeus lol, this is hardly shocking but let's see if Disney has actual balls to keep this character trait canon on all international versions, I think we all know what's gonna happen with that though
