A McDonald's collaboration with Loki is on the way, with a special sauce coming to restaurants in celebration of Season 2 of the Tom Hiddleston-led series launching on Disney+ this October.
In news we're sure Marvel fans will be McLovin', McDonald's is seemingly taking inspiration from Hiddleston's Asgardian trickster to dish out a Loki-branded sauce in the coming weeks. The fast-food chain started stirring up mischief on August 7 when it shared a brief video on X (formerly known as Twitter) with "no spoilers" attached.

The video features clips of movies and TV shows that have referenced McDonald's over the years. The snippets include moments from Seinfeld, Fifth Element, and Coming to America before landing on a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot from Loki Season 2 that sees Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie working in the fast food restaurant.
It isn't the first time we've seen the clip, as it also flashed up in the trailer for Loki's second season. However, McDonald's follows it up with the text "8.14.23" - the same date that appears in an image threaded below the promo, teasing more details to come on August 14. But it seems someone has already spilled the tea sauce.

As reported by ComicBook.com, several TikTok videos started making the rounds this week unveiling new packaging for McDonald's Sweet and Sour sauces. The now-teal green lid of the popular condiment has the MCU series' logo printed on it and states "as featured in Marvel Studios' Loki", suggesting it will get a mention in the show.
It is unclear whether the collaboration is a simple package rebrand or whether the sauce differs from what is currently available. It is also unknown whether there will be any further product changes or new menu items as part of the promotion, and we probably won't find out until August 14 unless we encounter a time-slip.
Loki Season 2 will pick up after the first season and bring "new excitement as it thrusts the infamous God of Mischief into a new set of adventures with the TVA". Those adventures will include a visit to the Golden Arches at some point during the six episodes that will air, starting with the premiere on Disney+ on October 6.
