The fate ofRavonna Lexus Renslayeris left in a mysterious place at the end ofLoki season 2 episode 6. Following her pruning in episode 4, Ravonna gets one final appearance in Loki season 2, and while it’s not exactly clear where - or possiblywhen- she winds up, there are some clues that point to her history both in the MCU as well as comic books.
In the episode, Renslayer is shown waking up in a strange wasteland. As she comes to, she sees a pyramid in the distance, and we see the remains of the TVA’s “for all time, always” seal, before Ravonna is seemingly shocked by something off-camera that bathes her in purple light.
So, what does this all mean about where Ravonna Lexus Renslayer has wound up? Putting the clues together offers some insight. For one thing, in the past, when characters and objects have been pruned, they’ve gone to the Void, a place outside of time and space that also houses the tower of He Who Remains.
That could also explain the pyramid and the purple light. It’s possible thatAlioth, the monster who once devoured the people and objects who were cast into the Void, has returned. But it’s also possible that Renslayer’s shock is simply because she’s coming face-to-face with He Who Remains, who once betrayed Ravonna when they co-founded the TVA.
Interestingly enough, the pyramid could indicate a connection toRama-Tut, the Kang variantwho became a pharaoh in ancient Egypt and lives in a giant pyramid-shaped time machine. Rama-Tut was seen as one of the Kang variants at the end of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (the one who looks like a pharaoh, naturally). But we have yet to see him in action, so perhaps that’s on the horizon for Renslayer’s next appearance.
