WithLokinow streaming on Disney+, the other day I landed an interview with directorKate Herronto talk about her fantastic work on the Marvel series. During the interview, she talked about how she is still working onLokiEpisode 6, how much free will people in the MCU have versus being controlled by the Time-Keepers, Easter eggs and what scenes you might want to hit pause on, her thoughts on Mobius’ age, how the font on the TVA computers was inspired byAlien, getting to create a whole new corner of the Marvel universe, how long each episode is, and so much more.
As most of you know,Lokitakes place after the God of Mischief (Tom Hiddleston) has stolen the Tesseract (again) due to the events ofAvengers: Endgame, and an alternate version of the character is brought to the mysterious Time Variance Authority to give him a choice: either be erased from existence, or help fix the timeline. In addition to Hiddleston, the show co-starsOwen Wilsonas Mobius M. Mobius,Wunmi Mosakuas Hunter B-15,Gugu Mbatha-Rawas Ravonna Lexus Renslayer,Sophia Di Martino,Richard E. Grant,Sasha Lane, andErika Coleman.

Finally, I was able to watch the first two episodes ofLokibefore doing interviews and am happy to report they’re fantastic. Obviously Hiddleston is still perfect in the role, but what I loved most about the series is the way the series is expanding the MCU in a new direction and setting up what’s to come inSpider-Man: No Way Home andDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessregarding the multiverse. Trust me, if you’re a fan of the MCU and Loki, you’re going to love these episodes.
Lokiis now streaming on Disney+. Check out what Herron had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
