As with other MCU spinoffs,
Loki draws extensively from Marvel Comics canon. Episode 1 introduces the Time Variance Authority (TVA), an organization that will clearly have a central role in the the story. But what is the TVA, and how does
Loki‘s version relate to the TVA of the comics? (This post includes some minor spoilers for
Loki episode 1.)
The TVA is a kind of quasi-governmental agency that exists outside of space and time, policing dangerous “varients” in the multiverse’s timelines. In turn, they’re governed by three mysterious and powerful beings known as the Time-Keepers. It’s a kind of meta-commentary on Marvel comics continuity, which is famously elaborate and difficult to untangle.

We are still in the very early stages of the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so the big picture remains pretty foggy. “WandaVision” and “The Falcon and the Winter” didn’t shed much light on things. And otherwise we don’t know what’s coming aside from a list of titles and bits of casting news.
One thing we’ve known for a while, though, is that the MCU’s version of the multiverse is coming. It’s a major factor in “Loki” on Disney+, and it will of course be key in the “Doctor Strange” sequel that literally has the word “multiverse” in the title.
