Enter the TVA

Wade’s party is rudely interrupted by the arrival of some surprising goons: agents of the Time Variance Authority, the guardians of the sacred multiversal timeline from Loki. Although the second season of Loki climaxed with the titular god of mischief choosing to sacrifice himself to maintain the multiverse, the TVA reformed to live on and hunt down the variants of Kang while protecting the multiverse from myriad threats—and given Wade’s limited time-travel antics at the end of the last movie, it kind of makes sense they’re a little interested in him.
