Comicbook.Com is reporting that Loki will resume production sometime in August!
Hollywood’s migration to Atlanta continues as productions look to resume following the coronavirus pandemic. Now, it looks like Marvel’s Loki and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier shows slated for release on Disney+ are going to head to Pinewood Studios in Atlanta when they get back to work. While Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings is aiming for a production restart later this month, a report claims that Loki and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will be gearing up for August shoots, getting through new pre-production stages throughout July. Safe to say, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier won’t be releasing for its original August target.

Director of the Donmar Warehouse production Coriolanus caught up with cast members Tom Hiddleston and Deborah Findlay to chat dressing room discos, why theatre matters to them, and Tom’s quickest ever costume change. You can watch the Donmar Warehouse’s Coriolanus from 7pm UK time on Thursday 4 June until 7pm UK time on Thursday 11 June 2020.
With the live stream of Coriolanus just a day ahead, Tom did an interview with The Guardian! You can read the full interview at the link provided below!
Coriolanus is a play that’s more respected than revered. Why does it have a rather difficult reputation?
Coriolanus is relentless, brutal, savage and serious, but that’s why I find it interesting. Shakespeare sets the play in ancient Rome: a far older place than the Rome more familiar to us – of Julius Caesar or Antony and Cleopatra or the later Empire. This Rome is wild. A city-state wrestling with its identity. An early Rome of famine, war and tyranny.
In the central character, Caius Martius Coriolanus, Shakespeare shows how the power of unchecked rage corrodes, dehumanises and ultimately destroys its subject. I’ve read that some find Martius a hard character to like, or to relate to – less effective at evoking an audience’s sympathy than Hamlet, Romeo, Juliet, Rosalind, Othello or Lear. Yet there is a perverse integrity and purity to be found in his obstinacy and honour, which sits alongside his arrogance and contempt.
The play’s poetry is raw and visceral, quite different from the elegance, beauty, clarity and charm found elsewhere in Shakespeare’s work. The warmth and delight to be found in his comedies are absent here. But the unstinting seriousness and intensity of the play is what makes it fascinating….
Tom will be joining Josie Rourke for a live commentary during the live Coriolanus stream! This will be on JUNE 4 this coming Thursday in case anyone is interested. More information below!
Coriolanus director Josie Rourke and star Tom Hiddleston will host a free watch-along on Instagram on Thursday night.
The live chat will coincide with the streamed performance of the award-winning Donmar Warehouse production on YouTube, which begins at 7pm BST on 4 June. The pair will begin their chat at 6.45pm, 15 minutes before the show begins.
While free, the National Theatre (who is presenting the show) is asking for donations as lockdowns continue and funds dwindle. You can find out more here.
Rourke’s production also starred Alfred Enoch, Deborah Findlay, Helen Schlesinger, Mark Gatiss, Hadley Fraser and many more, and first premiered in December 2013. It was nominated for six WhatsOnStage Awards, winning three including Best Play Revival.
The live chat will be hosted on Rourke’s Instagram channel.

A recent interview with Clark Gregg done with Variety has rumors swirling about a possible second season for Loki the television series! See below for article!
We already know that the first season of Loki, currently due sometime in 2021, is going to be six episodes much like the other Marvel Studios limited series on Disney+. There has been some speculation that Loki could be a multi-season show, but nothing completely official yet. Until now.
Variety has an interview with Clark Gregg about the final season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which starts this Wednesday on ABC, and he had this to say about Loki from what Tom Hiddleston told him: “But I’d be lying if I didn’t say boy, that would really be interesting to start the experiment over, doing 10 episodes or 12 episodes the way Tom Hiddleston told me he was doing [on “Loki”] with that kind of budget and that Marvel Cinematic production team.”

The National Theatre will stream Coriolanus on June 4th through June 11th. If you haven’t seen Tom in this, I highly recommend tuning in since it is one of his best works! You can catch the stream here through the announced dates!
Tom Hiddleston (Betrayal, The Avengers, The Night Manager) plays the title role in Shakespeare’s searing tragedy of political manipulation and revenge.
When an old adversary threatens Rome, the city calls once more on her hero and defender: Coriolanus. But he has enemies at home too.
As famine threatens the city, the citizens’ hunger swells to an appetite for change, and on returning from the field, Coriolanus must confront the march of realpolitik and the voice of an angry people.
Tom recently gave awareness to MediCinema, a foundation that builds and runs state-of-the-art cinemas in hospitals and places of care, giving patients and their families the magic and joy of a night at the movies together. See Tom’s tweets and also give a donation to this cause below!

Takes place after Avengers: Endgame, which saw Loki steal the Tesseract during the 2012 events of The Avengers (2012), which created an alternate timeline from the main MCU films. In the series, Loki uses the Tesseract to travel through time and alter human history.
