Loki enthusiasts worldwide have been buzzing with excitement after London’s ‘TVA Experience’ captivated fans, leaving them craving for a stateside visit from Disney and Marvel.
A remarkable fan event dedicated to the beloved Loki TV series has become a massive hit among Variants and viewers alike. However, the ‘TVA Experience’ is currently not on the horizon for the United States.
Loki’s ‘TVA Experience’ Leaves Fans Awestruck but Geographically Challenged
On October 7th, fans of the Loki TV series in London were treated to an extraordinary in-person event known as the ‘TVA Experience.’ This unique journey offered viewers an immersive exploration of the Time Variance Authority, the enigmatic organization within the series.
While the tickets were complimentary, entry was restricted due to the limited capacity of the OXO2 at the Oxo Tower. According to Disney’s provided details, the entire experience lasted approximately 45 minutes.
Upon arrival at the TVA Experience, fans were greeted by the TVA receptionist and other staff who engaged them with intriguing questions related to the concept of having a soul.
Dressed in authentic costumes and in character, tour guides guided Loki aficionados through the inner workings of the TVA, complete with an inside look at OB’s repair department, as featured in season 2, episode 1.
A highlight of the event was the appearance of a ‘captured Variant’ who delivered a captivating performance, recounting his life before the TVA’s capture and the adventures he embarked on afterward, including a claim to be from Pudding Lane in 1666, the site of the Great Fire of London. He alleged to have been apprehended by the TVA while attempting to extinguish the fire, which could have triggered a Nexus Event. His journey included surviving the First World War and even crossing paths with Elvis, hinting at a later career as a TVA Agent.
Following the character performance, Loki TV series enthusiasts were treated to a glimpse of official props and costumes from the show, culminating in a delightful Key Lime Pie served in the cafeteria.
Regrettably, the TVA Experience was a one-day-only affair, with no signs of it returning for further tours. Disappointingly, there’s no indication from either Marvel or Disney that the experience will make its way to the United States or elsewhere.
This news will likely be disheartening for Loki fans residing outside of the UK who yearn for an in-person celebration of the series’ success, especially considering the event was offered free of charge.
Both Marvel and Disney certainly pulled out all the stops in the marketing campaign for Loki season 2, particularly in light of certain actors being unable to promote the show due to strike regulations. Outsourcing in-person marketing for a series like Loki can be a cost-effective way to enhance a promotional campaign, although neither Marvel nor Disney is short on resources.

Given the resounding success of the recent TVA Experience in London, it’s a regrettable missed opportunity that similar events haven’t been organized in locations across the United States. Fans can only hope that more in-person, free-entry events and experiences will materialize on the Sacred Timeline in the near future.
