In the changing era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not many projects are able to attain as much success as the projects in the golden age of MCU. However,Tom Hiddleston‘sLokiseries has managed a record-breaking performance for the studio.
The finale episode ofLokiSeason 2 was watched 11.2 million times globally in its first three days on Disney Plus as perDisney Pressrelease. The view figures are 300,000 more than the season’s first episode. This feat has made it Disney+’s second most-watched finale in 2023. Notably, every episode of the series managed to surge past 11 million views in its debut week.
These figures are quite promising for the streaming platform as well as for the studio given the hype of superhero projects nowadays.

It’s crazy how “all in” I was on this ride for years. Now I just watch these movies flop each and every summer and it’s just sad.

Having kicked off with Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man movie series, it continued to expand with many comic characters being brought to life. Thus, the era of Avengers started to form withAvengers: Endgamebeing the latest and last installment released up to this point.
That movie became the end and beginning of a new era, which seemingly could have been the time when fans felt an adrenaline rush. While many projects are lined up for the future, it is yet to see whether it can bring back the hype the old MCU previously created. Meanwhile,LokiSeason 2 is available on Disney+.
