‘Loki’ Will Reportedly Feature The MCU’s First Transgender Character

In recent months, it’s been reported that Marvel Studios was looking to cast a transgender actor for a future MCU project. Well, that may be coming to fruition as The Illuminerdi claims that the role is for the Disney+ series Loki.

The new report seemingly confirms previous rumors that Marvel Studios is looking to cast an actor as Sera, a trans character in Marvel Comics. Sera will not only have a major supporting role in the series but may appear in future films as well.

Created by Kieron Gillen, Marguerite Bennett, and Phil Jimenez Sera first appeared in 2015’s Angela: Asgard’s Assassin #1. The character is an Anchorite, a group of male Angels who reside in Heven. Unlike the other Anchorites, Sera identifies as a woman making her one of the only major trans women in Marvel Comics. She plays a significant role in the Asgardian corner of the Marvel universe as she is in a relationship with Angela, the daughter of Odin.
