Loki season 2 is going to deliver for MCU fans and then some, as producer Kevin Wright hinted at in his interview with Shadow and Act.

Wright said that the season doesn’t waste any time getting back into the action-packed cliffhanger from Season 1, in which Loki (Tom Hiddleston) realizes he’s entered a different version of the TVA completely under the control of Kang (Jonathan Majors).

“We wanted to just pick up immediately where season one ended. And to us, it was like, if you do that, they are in high-stakes drama across the board,” said Wright. “TVA is in turmoil. They don’t know what they’re doing. Loki finally gave himself over to somebody else and did this selfless thing and had his heart broken and the rug pulled out from under him.”

“For us, it was [a decision to] live in the immediacy and high stakes drama. And to us it was like, if the audience bought into all the craziness of Season 1, we knew they were in, so we could just dive deeper into the world and our amazing kind of cast and characters just really live in great character drama,” he continued. “So, it’s like a love letter to [the fans]; if you love Season 1, if you love Loki, we think you’re really gonna love this.”

A new character coming to the season is Ouroboros played by Everything Everywhere All At Once star Ke Huy Quan. Wright said that fans are going to love what Quan brings to the Marvel series.

“Ke is, I think, about to become a lot of people’s new favorite Marvel character,” said Wright. “The short synopsis is…The TVA has a lot of amazing production design and computers and tech and like all of this stuff. And it made us go, all right, if we’re expanding out the world, the TVA, where’s all that coming from? Who’s keeping all of this old, old stuff running and it, and it’s OB–Ouroboros. We’re lucky to have Ke. I mean, it’s just, there’s no other way around it. He just really, I think, slots in nicely to this already amazing ensemble.”

Another character bringing surprises this season is Miss Minutes (voiced by Tara Strong). As a character, Miss Minutes was along the lines of “chaotic neutral” last season, but this season is a completely different story.

“I think everyone suspected by the end of Season 1. She’s a she’s a bit duplicitous and knows maybe more than she’s been letting on through the first season and going into this season,” said Wright. “I think we get to see that play out a bit and we’ll get to find out maybe what she knows and what her larger motivations are. And like everybody else, I think it was about diving deeper into [her character]; she’s like a real artificial intelligence who has real personality and [reasons for] what her motivations are and why she’s doing what she’s doing.”

And of course, the big issue regarding Loki is how it fits into and fleshes out the Kang Dynasty era the MCU is currently invested in. Wright said he also can’t wait to see how the series adds to the story Marvel is telling about one of the biggest threats to the MCU.

“…We’ve been able to tell more Kang variant-related storytelling than any other project in the MCU to this point,” he said. “So for us, it was about continuing and paying off the story that we started in Season 1 and, and allowing there to be further fuel for the fire that maybe other stories could tell.”

“It’s hard to say without spoiling where our show goes. But for us, it [telling the Kang variant storyline] was central to the Loki story we’ve been telling for now…over 12 episodes,” he continued. “So there’s a lot more there for a story to be told, I think.”
