The Fighting Cocks: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Marvel Cameo in Disney’s Loki TV Series

In a thrilling twist of events in Disney’s hit TV series, “Loki,” fans of both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and rock music were treated to a delightful surprise. The mischievous Asgardian himself, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, found himself sharing a moment with his old flame Sylvie in none other than Kingston’s iconic rock pub and venue, “The Fighting Cocks.” This surprising cameo marked a unique fusion of Marvel magic and rock ‘n’ roll nostalgia, leaving fans awestruck.

Set in the vibrant heart of London, “The Fighting Cocks” served as the backdrop for an unforgettable encounter between Loki and Sylvie. As the two characters discussed their daring plans to save their friends and the very fabric of existence, they did so over a shot of bourbon. While the show’s storyline took us on a time-traveling journey to the 1980s Oklahoma, the eagle-eyed viewers couldn’t help but notice the unmistakable features of this beloved alternative haunt.

Filming for this memorable scene took place in August 2022, and, understandably, the team at “The Fighting Cocks” was tight-lipped about their brush with Hollywood stardom. However, they are now thrilled that the secret is out and are ready to share their excitement with the world. Ali Barnwell, one of the co-owners of the pub, expressed their enthusiasm, saying, “As huge Marvel fans, we were over the moon to welcome the team to film at the pub. Keeping the secret has been so tough, but now we can proudly say The Fighting Cocks is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!”

This unexpected collaboration between a local rock pub and one of the most prominent entertainment franchises in the world is a testament to the magic of storytelling and its ability to bridge different worlds. “The Fighting Cocks” holds a special place in the hearts of rock music enthusiasts and has been a hub for the alternative music scene in London. The bar, leopard print decor, and the iconic pool table, all part of the pub’s unique charm, are instantly recognizable to its patrons.

As the news of their cameo in the “Loki” series spreads, the team at “The Fighting Cocks” is already contemplating how to commemorate this momentous occasion. Among the plans is the installation of a plaque marking the god of mischief’s now-famous seat, allowing fans to relive the moment when Loki and Sylvie shared their conversation over bourbon.

For those in town, a visit to “The Fighting Cocks” offers a slice of Tinseltown magic combined with the ambiance of a cherished local venue. You can enjoy the same spot where Loki and Sylvie conspired to save the universe or, who knows, perhaps indulge in a bourbon of your own to celebrate this unique blend of rock ‘n’ roll and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In an unexpected twist, “The Fighting Cocks” has become a part of the tapestry of the Marvel universe, showcasing the power of storytelling to transcend genres and boundaries. It’s a reminder that even the most mischievous of characters can find a home in the most unexpected of places, all while giving us a taste of the magic that happens when worlds collide.
