Loki head writer Michael Waldron has commented on the possibility that the Disney+ series will feature a connection to a Marvel Cinematic Universe adaptation of Secret Wars.
“We’ll see,” Waldron told Murphy’s Multiverse. “You’ll probably know, as well as I do, not everything is just in there. If the purpose of that whole was to just indoctrinate the audience and everything. Yeah, we’ll see how this plays out in the MCU moving forward.”
The first Secret Wars comic book event debuted in 1984 from the creative team of Jim Shooter, Mike Zeck and Bob Layton. It centered on a wide variety of Marvel superheroes and villains being taken to the planet Battleworld by the Beyonder. This plotline became so popular that it was adapted into several animated Marvel programs, a toyline and even a novelization. Later, Marvel revived the concept for 2015’s Secret Wars by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic. However, an adaptation of Secret Wars in the MCU, either as a film or a TV series, has not been officially announced as of yet.

This is not the first time the concept of Loki setting up other Marvel Cinematic Universe properties has come up. “All of these stories, in their own way, are interconnected, and have ramifications,” Waldron previously said. “I think that certainly is our aim with the Loki series was for it to have wide-reaching ramifications across the MCU moving forward.”
Loki stars Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant. The series premieres June 9 on Disney+.
