When last we left Loki in Avengers: Endgame, he grabbed the Tesseract and teleported out of New York City. In the new trailer for the series, we finally find out a whole lot more about what’s up with him next, when Disney+’s Loki series premieres on June 11.

The first trailer, released in December, showed where he ended up (the Gobi desert somewhere near Mongolia), and that he eventually got caught and wound up in the hands of something called the TVA (Time Variance Authority). The TVA is the Time Variance Authority, a vast bureaucracy tasked with overseeing and maintaining the balance of the multiverse, and for reasons yet to be explained in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) — if not perhaps readily explained in the comics — all or most of these bureaucrats are… Humans? Wilson plays The Honorable Mobius M. Mobius. You can just call him Mobius. He’s in senior management of the TVA. In the comics, he has encountered The Fantastic Four and presided over the trial of She-Hulk.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw, meanwhile, plays Judge Renslayer, who, in the multiverse, also existed as Ravona Renslayer, a time-traveling ruler known as Terminatrix who both loved and fought Kang the Conqueror. Kang’s going to be showing up in future MCU films, so we’re definitely seeing how Disney+ is weaving its Marvel series into and among the plots of its movies (see also: WandaVision as set-up for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness).

In the meantime, we have plenty of time as regular humans ourselves to raise a few questions:

1. While the first part of this trailer demonstrates humorous homages perhaps to the Albert Brooks classic Defending Your Life, how many lives do cats have in the TVA? More than nine? Or do they only need the one there?

2. Does the rest of the six-episode series run headlong into more Catch Me If You Can or Doctor Who, what with Loki trying to stay “10 steps ahead” of the TVA, while everyone’s causing rifts in time and space?

3. Where can we get those tiles?
