The recent episode of ‘Loki’ will be remembered for the master manipulator openly coming out as “bisexual” for the very first time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It will also be remembered for Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) working together to get off the dying planet Laminitis. However, there’s one thing that fans failed to catch and that one thing might change the entire plotline of the show.

In Episode 3, Marvel and Disney+ finally revealed that all the agents of Time Variance Authority (TVA) are actually variants and their memories have been wiped out. The recent revelation has made everyone believe that TVA is not trustworthy and it is running its own agenda. Fans also believe that the organization being run by the ‘Time-Keepers’ might also be a lie.

According to a Reddit theory, there is someone else who is leading the organization. Reddit user Bossman471 claims that Time Keepers are not the real rulers of the TVA and it is another variant of Loki who is responsible for leading the organization. The Redditor also argues that the TVA’s ruler could be the older variant of Loki that actor Richard E Grant is rumored to be playing on the show.

Although we haven’t seen Grant in the first three episodes and fans are starting to wonder when he’s going to arrive on the show. But if the theory turns out to be true, Grant might be playing the older variant of Loki and also the mysterious leader of the TVA. Just think about it. If every person working in the organization is brainwashed and all the agents are variants, then it’s highly possible that the head of the TVA might also be a variant. We already know that TVA has come in contact with numerous variants of Loki.

The theory works out very well because of whatever we have seen on the show. If the theory is indeed true, then we might be having one of the greatest revelations in the history of MCU. We can’t wait to see what happens in the upcoming episode.

‘Loki’ returns with a new episode every Wednesday on Disney+.
