Marvel finds new hope as Loki Season 2 records staggering 11 million viewers in 3 days

The Loki Season 2 finale has recorded an impressive viewership within its initial three days, and many are hailing the God of Mischief as the MCU's newfound beacon of hope, fulfilling the prayers of loyal fans longing for a revival.

What

• If numbers were the benchmark for a series’ success, Loki Season 2 finale was a hit, drawing 11.2 million views globally in three days — 3% more than the first episode.
• It's the second-highest Disney+ premiere this year, with The Mandalorian's Season 3 premiere leading the list. 

• Consistent in its appeal, Loki maintained its popularity, with each episode garnering over 11 million views in their opening weeks, as reported by Disney.

• As per a recent Deadline report, the first episode of Loki Season 2 entered Nielsen rankings at No 6, accumulating 446 million viewing minutes. 
• The debut week of its June 2021 premiere had the series garnering 731 million viewing minutes.

Hope for MCU revival

• Loki on Disney+ did great, but The Marvels had a tough start at the box office, making $46.1 million in the US and $109.4 million worldwide, the lowest for Marvel so far.
• The Marvels extends the trend of MCU films facing a box office letdown, a pattern observed since Avengers: Endgame, with Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 being a notable exception.

• Apart from Wanda Vision, the fate has been pretty much the same with all the MCU Disney+ series as most of them have flopped real bad. 
• Loki Season 2 is viewed by many as a pivotal moment for the MCU Disney+ series. 
• The anticipation is high, and the Marvel and Marvel Spotlight series are expected to leverage the momentum generated by the final episode of Loki Season 2.

Echo, Daredevil to follow

• After the final episode for Loki Season 2, the Multiverse Saga has become open as ever. 
• Loki consolidates all timeline branches upon realising the "Temporal Loom" isn't sufficient to rescue them all, which pushes him to become the one to oversee the timelines for the greater good.

• This has opened up numerous doors of probable scenarios for future series to follow. 
• Following the resolution of both the SAG-AFTRA and the Writer's Guild strikes, numerous Marvel series and films are now in active production.
• Echo and Daredevil: Born Again, the upcoming Marvel Disney+ series set to debut in 2024, are anticipated to sustain the momentum generated by the success of Loki Season 2.
