Since the first season of Loki ended in July of 2021, fans have been waiting patiently for a second season that didn’t come last year, and has yet to come this year. Then, Marvel insider KC Walsh stirs everyone into a tizzy by prematurely tweeting Loki season 2 is slated for June, which means there could be scheduling issues at the studio, while some fans are detecting a totally different problem.
This isn’t the first time KC Walsh has dropped insider information that got the Marvel fandom buzzing. He recently tweeted that the upcoming miniseries Secret Invasion was scheduled to come out in May. This is what’s causing some fans to get up in arms; a perceived scheduling conflict would smash these two shows together and oversaturate with content, and while the studio may not see the conflict, some viewers do.
The original tweet was first deleted, and then confirmed.
Marvel fans are always ready for new content as long as they can breathe between the shows. They need their time to post their thoughts and feelings on social media before investing into the new thing.
Interesting you really think after the recent blacklash they’ll have them so close I think spacing out Atleast 2-3 shows and 2 movies a year is a way to go.

GotG 3 & Secret Invasion & Loki 2 are all between May and June, then we can take some rest from the MCU till November 8, 2024
Some fans are along for the ride wherever it takes them.
For some people in the industry — higher-up executives, that is — it’s all about the Benjamins, and that means getting as much content out as quickly as possible to vacuum every possible dollar from the consumers’ pockets.
Those executives need to listen to the fans, though, because they’re only coming while the quality is good. Turn the project into a B-rated mess, and watch the fan base dwindle.
When asked about how there could be a scheduling conflict at all, this fan was on point and started this beautiful sub-debate.
Marvel fans seem to be the most detail-oriented when it comes to online debate; they get down to the nitty gritty, from the timeline in the story, to the release time in the real world, and scrutinize costumes, artistry, graphics, and anything else they can find to debate. If anything, that’s what The Big Bang Theory was trying to teach us.
