Loki Travels in Time, Aquaman 2 Gets a Trailer, Lando will now be a feature film, and Brie Larson takes up Chemistry

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your one-stop-shop for Information about all your favorite fictional universes.

Following the lead of their Disney sibling Star Wars, Marvel Studios announced on Monday that Loki Season 2 will premiere on Thursday, October 5, at 9 p.m. eastern - giving the show a primetime watching spot for North American audiences. We have to assume this means Disney+ is pleased with the viewership for Ahsoka, which is the first Disney show to experiment with a primetime release. Loki will follow suit, with all episodes dropping on Thursdays at that time. Marvel also released a featurette called “Amazing Loki” highlighted by the following quote from executive producer Kevin R. Wright; "Rest assured, our Loki will be with our Mobius, and they will be dealing with the consequences of this first season.”

DC finally released the trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, scheduled to hit theaters on December 20. The almost three-minute long trailer shows us an Arthur Curry, portrayed by Jason Momoa, who has embraced both sides of his life - on land and under the sea. But this bliss is going to be interrupted by Black Manta, played again by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who threatens to destroy Aquaman’s life and cause a global meltdown. We’ll also see the return of Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, and Temuera Morrison reprising their roles from the first film. The film is directed by James Wan.

Donald Glover's Lucasfilm project Lando is now being developed as a film instead of a Disney+ series. Though Solo: A Star Wars Story - where we first saw Glover portray the smuggler - was not a box office or critical success, there was strong response to his young version of Lando Calrissian. We reported in the past that Glover is working on the project with his brother, Stephen, but of course those plans are currently on hold due to the strikes. In an April interview with GQ, Glover indicated that he isn’t going to waste time on projects that mean very little to him, but he was quoted as saying “Lando is definitely somebody I’d like to hang out with,” hence his passion for the project.

AppleTV+ has released its first trailer for the upcoming limited series Lessons In Chemistry starring Brie Larson. Based on the New York Times bestselling novel, the series will tell the story of Elizabeth Zott, a chemist turned celebrity chef during the 1950s. Though Lessons in Chemistry, written by Bonnie Garmus, is a work of fiction, the novel examines issues of feminism and patriarchy that still resonate today. The series will run for eight episodes from October 13 through November 24 and also stars Rainn Wilson, Lewis Pullman, and Aja Naomi King.

A full trailer was released for Percy Jackson and The Olympians, premiering on Disney+ in December. The story will follow Percy Jackson coming to terms with newfound supernatural powers while restoring order to Olympus.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers says that the Writers Guild of America reached out to restart negotiations, and the organization is seeking to schedule the meeting this week.

The first trailer for the upcoming Halloween themed Horror-Comedy film Totally Killer has been released. The film stars Kiernan Shipka as the protagonist who accidentally time travels to the 1980s and attempts to stop a series of murders. The Blumhouse and Amazon Studios production hits Prime Video exclusively on October 6.
