The American drama "Rocky" will be starred by "Rocky" in the Marvel series of movies "Shakey" Tom Hiddleston, directed by Kate Herron ("Sex Study Room" and written by Michael Waldon ("Rick and Morty"). In the film, Loki dies in Avengers: Infinity War, but due to time travel, another version of the character appears briefly in Avengers 4: Endgame. This is also the content of the American drama "Rocky". The show will deal with time travel, telling the story of Loki's escape with the Space Gem, causing a change in time in Earth's history.

Previously, Marvel boss Kevin Feige also revealed that the American drama "Rocky" will be related to the plot of the movie "Doctor Strange 2", "I'm not sure if we have really admitted this before, but it is true." It is reported that the movie "Doctor Strange 2" is scheduled to be released in May 2021.

In November 2018, Disney confirmed that it would produce an independent series featuring Loki, and revealed that the series and Marvel American dramas including "Iron Fist" and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." belong to a different management system, and are supervised by Kevin Feige himself. The next day, Tom Hiddleston responded that he would star in the American drama "Rocky", "Loki, to tell more stories, create more trouble, look forward to returning." It has previously been reported that When Tom Hiddleston filmed "Avengers 3" and "Avengers 4", he always thought that the role of "Loki" was really completely dead. It wasn't until more than a month before the release of Avengers 3 that Hiddleston didn't know the character would return in the American drama Rocky.

On December 22, 2019, "Jitterson" shared a group photo of the team of Marvel's new drama "Rocky" on social platforms, revealing that the filming preparations for the show officially began. Other roles in the show are also being announced.

On February 1, 2020, foreign media reported that comedy star Owen Wilson, who has starred in films such as "Midnight in Paris" and "Fantastic Night at the Museum", will also join "Rocky". Neither Marvel nor Disney has commented on the news for the time being.

On February 12, foreign media reported that British actress Gugu Mbata-Law ("Morning News", "Black Mirror") will join "Rocky"), but her role is still kept secret. According to sources, she is likely to be the heroine of the play.
