Disney and Marvel released the first teaser trailer for its anticipated antihero show, "Loki," and it looks like it will address one of the biggest unanswered questions from 2019's "Avengers: Endgame."

In case you forgot, in "Endgame," Tony Stark and Ant-Man traveled back in time to the events of 2012's "The Avengers" to collect an Infinity Stone.

Unfortunately, they messed up and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) escaped with the Tesseract into the unknown. Where did he go? That's what "Loki" will answer. 

"The God of Mischief will step out of his brother's shadow and into his own series on Disney Plus in May of next year," Feige said of Hiddleston reprising his role as Marvel's trickster.

Feige said the Marvel show will explore a new genre, describing "Loki" as "a crime thriller." 

Will Loki's actions still lead to his death in "Infinity War"? That's currently unclear. 

Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku, and Richard E. Grant also join the cast. "Loki" will launch on Disney Plus in May 2021.
