Loki has been confirmed as the first bisexual character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the latest episode of the Disney+ show.

Tom Hiddleston’s character confirms the news during a conversation with Loki variant Sylvie.

The different Loki variants reflect the character’s canonised gender fluidity.

As the pair discuss their dating history Sylvie says “You’re a prince. Must’ve been would-be princesses, or perhaps another prince?”

“A bit of both, I suspect the same as you,” Loki replies.

Director Kate Herron took to social media to express how happy she was with the news.

“From the moment I joined @LokiOfficial it was very important to me, and my goal, to acknowledge Loki was bisexual. It is a part of who he is and who I am too. I know this is a small step but I’m happy, and my heart is so full, to say that this is now canon in #mcu.” Herron said.

This is the first time Marvel have acknowledged Loki’s sexuality and gender despite his character being described as gender-fluid and pansexual in the comics.
