Marvel shared a new 18-second promo for Loki this Sunday, but while it may have been short it still managed to drop a major revelation. The teaser ended with a glimpse at the TVA’s file on the God of Mischief – which confirmed that Loki is gender-fluid. The comic book character has been labelled as such since the early 2000s, but this is the first time this key element of the anti-hero has been made clear in the MCU. Check out the promo in question below:

Coming as it does both just a few days ahead of Loki‘s debut on Disney Plus next Wednesday, and in the first week of Pride Month, the internet is understandably going crazy over this news, with it serving to raise the hype for the premiere of the wacky, time-travel themed show even more.

Just in case anyone wants to complain about Marvel changing the character just to be “woke”, Loki’s literally been gender-fluid since the ancient Norse myths.
FINALLY!!! MCU Loki is gender-fluid!!!!
While it's well-known in the Norse mythos and even the comics (starting in the 2000's), this is the first time the MCU has made this canon. #Loki https://t.co/egEbHrk4uC— Alejandra (Alej) Oliva (@alejolivaDNA) June 6, 2021

Among all this excitement, though, some are calling into question whether this revelation is as it seems. If you look at the file in the promo, it reads “Sex: Fluid.” People are quite rightly pointing that sex and gender are not the same thing, so they are holding off on celebrating just yet.
o k a y so uh that thing that was posted? It said sex, not gender. If it said gender: fluid then that would have been confirming that Loki is genderfluid. That said sex: fluid which simply means Loki can shapeshift. sex ≠ gender.

On the other hand, some are taking this news on face value – and it means a lot to them.
As gender-fluid person i have never felt more valid in my life this really means a lot and makes me so happy #loki pic.twitter.com/U5ceCNlsC6

What we can take from this (probable) gender-fluid confirmation is that Lady Loki will likely appear in the Disney Plus series – possibly played by British actress Sophia Di Martino, just as has long been theorized. Moreover, this news means that Tom Hiddleston’s trickster stands as the first leading LGBTQ+ character in the MCU. Here’s to many more to come.
Don’t miss Loki when it premieres the first episode of its six-part first season on Disney Plus this Wednesday, June 9th.
