Loki season 2 is coming out next week, and what better way to celebrate than with LEGOs?
Teen LEGO animator Gardy, a.k.a. The Garden of Bricks, has created a shot-for-shot remake of the second Loki season 2 trailer with LEGO bricks. In the trailer—both live action and LEGO—Loki gets pulled through time, meets the antagonist Victor Timely, and tries to save the multiverse from a cataclysmic multiversal war.
All the details in the LEGO recreation are faithful to the original trailer. Gardy captures each character’s facial expressions and body language, and recreates visual effects like Loki’s time slipping and the shadowy horns he grows when capturing actor Brad Wolfe. All the trailer’s settings are present, too, including the Time Variance Authority, the theater where Wolfe attends the premiere of his movie Zaniac, and the 1893 World’s Fair.
Gardy spent several weeks working on the trailer, posting updates on X (formerly Twitter).
If you can’t get enough of the first LEGO Loki trailer, Gardy has also announced that a recreation of the other trailer is coming soon.
Gardy’s work even got attention from Loki season 2 head writer Eric Martin, who complimented the work in progress and then reposted the final product.
LEGO superhero animation is all the rage
Gardy isn’t the only teenage LEGO enthusiast to animate a beloved Marvel character. Last summer, 14-year-old Preston Mutanga used LEGOs to animate one of the scenes in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
“looks like I can officially confirm it now- yes, I animated a part for #AcrossTheSpiderVerse! it was honestly such an amazing journey and working with @philiplord, @chrizmillr, @CSteinberg9, and the rest of the spider-verse team was a dream come true. you guys absolutely ROCK,” Mutanga tweeted after Across the Spider-Verse hit theaters.
