Currently being produced in and around London, the second season of Loki is set to bring one of Marvel's favourite characters - starred by Tom Hiddleston - back to the screens.
But it is a little-known fact about the God of Mischief actor that will have Territorians even more eager to watch Loki: his ties to the Northern Territory and the Katherine region.
The London-born actor is the great-great grand-son of NT cattle baron Edmund Vesty.
In 1914 the English food producer and exporter Sir Edmund Vestey and his brother acquired the 3,000-square-kilometre Wave Hill Station in the Victoria River region.
It was there in 1966 - while managed by the Vesty brothers - that 200 Gurindji stockmen and their families wrote history in the Wave Hill Walk-off, led by Vincent Lingiari.
The Wave Hill Walk-off inspired the introduction of equal wages for Indigenous workers and paved the way for the Aboriginal Land Rights Act of 1976.
In 2020, 54 years after the walk-off, the Gurindji claim for native title on Wave Hill Station was granted.
