If a new rumor ends up being true, then Owen Wilson will be joining Marvel’s Loki series on Disney+. According to ComicBook.com, the Wedding Crashers and Royal Tenenbaums actor has been cast in a “major role,” although the identity of his character is still a mystery.
IGN reached out to Disney for confirmation but did not hear back by time of publication. We will update this post with any information we learn.
Wilson would be joining lead actor Tom Hiddleston in a story that picks up with the past version of Loki who made off with the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame. Another casting report for the Loki series says that Yesterday’s Sophia Di Martino has joined as Hiddleston’s co-star — and that she may be playing a female version of Loki.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said the Loki show will tie into the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is no surprise given that Loki and the good doctor are both powerful sorcerers who have crossed paths before.
The Loki series is part of Marvel’s Phase 4 lineup, which also includes Black Widow, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, The Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, WandaVision, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, What If…?, Hawkeye, Thor: Love and Thunder, and an untitled third Spider-Man movie.
