Tom Hiddleston's Loki seemed to confirm himself as bisexual in the latest episode of Disney Plus' MCU show "Loki."

WARNING: Spoilers ahead.

Episode three featured Loki and Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie reluctantly working together to escape the doomed planet Lamentis-1. In the story, which played out like one of "The Mandalorian's" episodic escapades, Loki and Sylvie board a train trying to find a power source to make their way back to the headquarters of the Time Variance Authority.

While on the train, the two talk about love, with Loki asking Sylvie if there is a special someone waiting for her at the end of her mission.

Sylvie jokes that there's a"post-man" waiting for her and then asks Loki, the God of Mischief and the Prince of Asgard, if there are any princesses waiting for him.

"How about you? You're a prince. Must have been would-be princesses? Or perhaps another prince?" Sylvie asks.

Loki then replies: "A bit of both. I suspect the same as you."

This confirms that the God of Mischief is attracted to both men and women and therefore places Loki, one of the MCU's most prominent and popular characters, on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. It also comes after the character was confirmed as being gender fluid.

In episode one of the show, a TVA agent hands Owen Wilson's Agent Mobius a file about Loki containing his details. Next to the word "sex" is "FLUID."

Loki has been confirmed as being gender fluid since the 2014 comic issue where Odin refers to his son as "my son and my daughter, and my child who is both."

"Loki" director Kate Herron told Insider: "He's gender-fluid in the Norse mythology and the comics and it felt like an important thing to, as you say, make sure it's canon."

Loki is also bisexual in Norse mythology, too, but this is the first time that Loki has been explicitly acknowledged as queer within the MCU, and Hiddleston himself previously commented on the importance of such explicit diversity.

"Breadth and range of identity contained in the character has been emphasized and is something I was always aware of when I was first cast 10 years ago," Hiddleston told Inverse.

Marvel are clearly making efforts to increase LGBTQ representation within their universe, and Hiddleston's Loki becomes the most major LGBTQ character so far.

Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie, who appeared alongside Loki in "Thor: Ragnarok," is also bisexual, while the MCU will feature its first ever openly gay couple in this year's "Eternals."
