Marvel Studios has released the official trailer for Loki - a new show dedicated to the mischievous god of Asgard and the brother of Thor.

British actor Tom Hiddleston returns to play the trickster in the six-part series, which will be made available on Disney+ on 11 June.

It's the latest spin-off series focusing on Marvel superheroes after WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

But what can fans expect from the series after watching the new trailer? Keep reading to find out more.

Is Loki still alive?

Loki has been a fan favourite since he appeared in the first Thor movie in 2011.

The God of Mischief was believed to have died during Avengers: Infinity War at the hands of the super-villain Thanos.

But the new show will see Hiddleston play a version of Loki created as result of the Avengers' time-travel.

The trickster, however, will not be allowed to just run about freely in this alternate universe.

The new trailer introduces the Time Variance Authority (TVA) - the organisation responsible for overseeing the multiverse.

Loki is revealed to be working with the TVA to stop a bigger threat.

Fans on social media are already excited that this might mean he will be travelling through time in the series.

The trailer even appears to show him ruling his former home, Asgard.

New characters

One of newest characters to be revealed is the TVA's Mobius M. Mobius, who is played by actor Owen Wilson.

Mobius tells Loki that when he picked up the Tesseract - a cube-shaped cosmic container for the Space Infinity Stone - he broke reality and now the TVA needs his assistance in fixing it.

Can Loki be trusted? We will have to wait and see.

Marvel has also confirmed British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw is playing a character named Judge Renslayer, who also works for the TVA.

However, the trailer did not give us answers as to whether or not Lady Loki will be appearing in this new show.

Many fans believe she is the hooded figure shown in posters and teasers so far. If correct, then this could see Loki chasing another version of his mischievous character.
