The terminal moments of Loki episode 5 saw Loki and Sylvie human action out a programme that they believe volition take them to the person who founded the TVA.

From the looks of things, the duo'due south plan was a success, with Sylvie and Loki combining their powers to put Alioth under a spell - and opening a portal to a mysterious castle in an unknown location. Well, a mysterious location, because it may be somewhere MCU viewers take seen earlier…

The colorful warping background in that scene looks remarkably similar the Breakthrough Realm, the micro-universe that we outset saw in the Ant-Human being movies and was utilized as a make-shift time machine during Avengers Endgame. Though the location is much darker than what we've seen before.

A castle in the Quantum Realm seems far-fetched, but one was already featured in the background of a scene from Emmet-Man and the Wasp. So non only do things live in the micro-universe, they are capable of building complex structures and civilizations.

Plain the city in Emmet-Man and The Wasp is not the same place that Loki and Sylvie are heading to. They couldn't look more different, after all, but it does open some questions nearly the TVA and who is really backside information technology.

Could this be the domicile of Marvel'south side by side big bad?

E'er since information technology was confirmed that the Breakthrough Realm could human action as a conduit to other times and places, it was speculated that the ruler of the metropolis could be Kang the Conqueror - an infamous time-travelling villain from Marvel comics. As his name suggests, he has a habit of travelling to new time periods and taking over.

Speculation increased when it was confirmed Kang would feature in Ant-Man 3, and afterward the premiere of Loki's very first episode terminal month. Fans were quick to notice that ane of the Fourth dimension-Keepers was a dead-ringer for Kang, generating theories that he would secretly debut in Loki.

The fact that Gauge Ravonna Renslayer's comic counterpart was Kang's lover only added fuel to that particular fire.

While the theory that Kang was one of the Time-Keepers turned out to be bogus, information technology'southward however exist speculated that Kang could exist working behind the scenes and ensuring the TVA stops any major deviations to the timeline that might impact his plans.

To brand things fifty-fifty more compelling, Kang likewise has a history with Alioth in the comics, Though the comic book version of the entity is a conqueror in his ain right, rather than, every bit Sylvie calls him, a mere guard dog for the TVA's ruler.

Every bit nosotros caput towards the series finale, it certainly looks as though Kang will have a part to play before the end of Loki'south freshman season. The pieces certainly seem to be falling into identify, and they all seem to point towards Kang — no affair how many times Kang-actor Jonathan Majors denies it.

It's certainly more than mere wishful thinking, similar the supposed Dr Foreign/White Vision cameo in WandaVision's concluding scene. Let's merely hope the series' true big bad wasn't actually only some other Loki.
