Else known as the World’s Tree, or the Tree of Life, it is known for connecting the cosmos together through time and space. Its existence in the MCU is first mentioned in Thor, and it was often hinted at throughout Phase 1 and in some instances in Phase 2. Taking into consideration the last episode of Loki season 2, Yggdrasil is being re-introduced in the MCU and its role has shifted from connecting the Nine Realms to connecting different timelines.Since Loki sacrificed his own personal freedom in order to save his friends, he formed a new World’s Tree that connects the multiverse together. Using his magic and his ability to control time, he brought life to the dead branched timelines. Sitting at the Citadel at the End of Time, he rearranged the timelines into a trunk, roots, and branches, thus paying tribute to Yggdrasil’s cosmic role in the MCU, which has been mentioned ever since Marvel Studios was first established.The World’s Tree was an important feature in Norse mythology and cosmology, as people of the Scandinavian north believed it to be the center of the cosmos. Regarded to have the appearance of an ash tree, Norsemen believed that it encompassed all nine worlds of the universe, which laid on the tree’s branches and roots. Asgard was the home of the gods, Álfheim was the home of the elves, Niðavellir was the home of the dwarves, and Midgard was the home of humans. Similarly, Jötunheim was the world of the giants, Vanaheim was the land of a group of gods called Vanir, Niflheim was a realm of ice, and Muspelheim was a realm of fire. Lastly, there was Hel or Helheim, which was the land of the dead, ruled by Loki’s daughter Hel. Each world was important in its own way in understanding the universe. Odin, king of the gods, hanged himself from the tree to gain knowledge from the Norns. Even after the events of Ragnarök, the end of all life, Yggdrasil became the source for new life in the cosmos.REPORT: Disney Pressured Marvel to Announce MCU Phase Six Films Prematurely
