Follow @thenerddoc for daily Marvel news and rumors -- Back in May we reported on the Squadron Supreme showing up in season two of the Loki Disney Plus series. Now, we have a few more details on what they'll be doing, and a casting rumor for Hyperion.
According to industry insider, CineStealth, the Squadron Supreme in Loki will be closer to The Boys. They will be an evil team that eventually ends up working for Kang the Conqueror. We don't yet know if they're working for Kang in Loki season two, but the insider claims they will be Kang's muscle in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
Hyperion, the Superman-like member of the Squadron Supreme is also rumored to potentially be played by Henry Cavill. This part of the rumor is not as concrete, so we're not as confident in its validity. We know Cavill and Marvel discussed his inclusion in the MCU, but whether or not that resulted in Cavill as Hyperion is still very much unknown.
We would like to see Cavill as Captain Britain or Sentry, which is still possible. But a rumor about DC's Superman coming over to Marvel to play what is essentially Marvel's version of the character, was too good, so we had to report on it.
We don't yet know which version of the Squadron Supreme appears in Loki and Kang Dynasty. It could be the Earth-616 version from the comics, or the more likely Earth-S or Earth-712 variants, which worked for a variant of Kang in the comics. There's also a chance the MCU version of the team will be more like the Squadron Sinister, which were an evil version of the 712 Squadron Supreme created by the Grandmaster following a conflict with Kang's Squadron.
We're confident the Squadron Supreme are showing up in Loki S2 and Kang Dynasty, but we're not confident Cavill is playing Hyperion. It's certainly possible though.
Loki season two will release on Disney Plus sometime during Summer 2023. Avengers: The Kang Dynasty releases in theaters on May 2, 2025.
