[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9076558, member: 54629"] Perhaps. The rest of Jackson’s supposed quote indicates that they’re connected in an “interesting” way. (I say supposed because I’ve found several articles repeating the quote but have yet to find the actual source.) In all honesty, I don’t really know what to make of [I]Loki[/I] or what its actual impact on the MCU is. There was already a multiverse in the first Dr Strange movie, and the Ancient One warns Banner about diverging timelines in [I]Endgame.[/I] The sacred timeline is really a wound rope of multiple timelines that all follow the permitted script. It’s the ones that deviate from that script too much that get pruned. Given how a big theme of [I]No Way Home [/I]is that all three Parkers have similar story beats (death of the relative, the power and responsibility talk, etc), I think you could argue that the movie could have happened even without the events of Loki because those three Spider-Men would all have fallen within the allowed parameters of the sacred timeline’s script. (You could argue that the Spiderverse animated films couldn’t have happened without [I]Loki[/I] first, though.) That [I]What If [/I]episode about Dr Strange also has the Ancient One making a point about story beats that have to happen a certain way (e.g. Strange can’t prevent the car crash from happening in some form no matter how hard he tries).
