Loki is back in the global top 10 on Disney Plus — three years after its second season finale, and not by accident. The show, which starred Tom Hiddleston as the God of Mischief and followed his journey through time, space, and multiversal responsibility, has seen a sharp uptick in streaming numbers just as Avengers: Doomsday nears its December 18 release. The surge comes despite no official explanation from Marvel Studios. But the timing aligns with growing anticipation around the film, where Doctor Doom. Portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., is expected to wreak havoc across the very same multiverse Loki now holds together. That means their paths are almost certain to cross. Whether Loki stands against Doom or finds himself drawn into his schemes early in the film remains unconfirmed, but the narrative stakes are clear: one man’s reckoning with chaos, another’s descent into it. The MCU’s latest blockbuster is already shaping up to be a multiversal collision course. Yet even as the franchise prepares for its next cinematic chapter, its television arm is undergoing a quiet purge. Wonder Man, once announced for renewal, was quietly canceled after only one season. It’s the first Marvel series on Disney Plus to be axed post-renewal, breaking a pattern that had seen only three shows. X-Men ‘97, Daredevil: Born Again, and Loki, secure follow-ups since the platform launched. The decision arrives amid broader restructuring at Disney TV, where hundreds of jobs are being cut. Shawn Levy, who spent years at Netflix, has moved to 20th Television under a new deal. Meanwhile, streaming metrics tell a different story: Disney+ has seen a 207% increase in usage since launch, Apple TV+ up 200%, and Netflix up 150%. The platforms meant to replace cable have become cable. And among them, Loki endures. Not because it’s new, but because it’s still being watched. The show’s return isn’t just a trend. It’s a signal. What gets remembered when the noise fades?
