- Sophia Di Martino appeared in episode two of "Loki" as the variant the TVA were hunting down.
- Fans assumed Di Martino's variant was actually Lady
Loki . - But the Spanish credits at the end of the episode listed the character as "Sylvie" AKA Enchantress.
Sophia Di Martino was long rumoured to be playing Lady Loki in the MCU series, with many fans assuming that the comic book character would make an appearance in "Loki."
That seemed to be confirmed in episode two of "Loki" when Di Martino appeared on-screen fully visible for the first time as the variant the Time Variance Authority have been tracking down. Taking down her hood, she seemed to strongly resemble Lady Loki, even if the name was never actually uttered by anyone in the show.
However, this assumption seems to have been proven wrong after one particularly keen "Loki" fan noticed a discrepancy in the end credits.

Firstly, in the English-language credits, Di Martino is credited as "the Variant," rather than Lady Loki.
However, in the Spanish credits, instead of listing the character as the variant, or even Lady Loki, the credits listed her as Sylvie - a completely different character.
Who is Sylvie?
Sylvie is actually the second version of the famous Thor comics villain the Enchantress. In the comics, Loki gives powers to a human from New York named Sylvie so that he can use her for his own gain. But Sylvie becomes convinced she is actually an Asgardian who was banished to Earth, and later takes on the mantle of Enchantress.
The first version of Enchantress was Amora, a powerful sorceress who teamed up with other Marvel villains like the Executioner (played by Karl Urban in "Thor: Ragnarok") to menace Thor and his companions. Sylvie's Enchantress has very similar powers to the first iteration, including the ability to harness magical power, transmutation, teleportation, telekinesis, allusions, and mind-control.
The exact identity of Di Martino's character has yet to be revealed officially, with her character still only known as the variant. But this slip-up in the Spanish credits seems to point to her really being Sylvie, which would mean that the idea of Lady Loki making an appearance was a red herring all along.
