Of course, a key part of the character has always been his ability to shape-shift – and the new teaser could hint that the series will involve Loki transforming into Lady Loki for the first time in the MCU.
Lady Loki, who has frequently appeared in the Marvel comics, is essentially the same character – complete with the penchant for mischief – but in female form, and has long been rumoured to be appearing in the series.

These rumours were given more weight when some eagle-eyed fans thought they'd spotted Martino as Lady Loki in the first trailer, with a scene showing a mysterious blonde and Loki against a cosmic background.
Some took it to be Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow being visited in the afterlife, but others insisted that it was Lady Loki herself – we don't have too long to wait until we find out for sure...
