The first season of Loki left us in a pretty big cliffhanger; after Loki and Sylvie break the time stream by killing He Who Remains, the pair take responsibility for the potential destruction of, well, literally everything. So if you’ve been anticipating Loki season 2, we don’t blame you. However, the wait will not be much longer; Tom Hiddleston told Entertainment Tonight that the cast and crew are about to start filming.
“We’ll be starting very soon,” Hiddleston said of the production of Loki’s second season. “Almost as soon as I leave this room. Not quite, but it’s just around the corner. We’ll definitely be going in the summer.”
The joint interview also included Loki creator and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron, who gave us some very vague hints about what’s to come.
“It’s just a continual evolution of the character,” Waldron said. “That’s what’s always been important to Tom and that’s what’s been important to me. If we’re going to continue [Loki Season 1’s story] in season 2, we have to cover new emotional ground. And the good news is that character keeps revealing new layers of texture and complexity.”
Hiddleston’s co-stars Sophia Di Martino, Owen Wilson and Gugu Mbatha-Raw will return to reprise their roles as Sylvie, Mobius M. Mobius and Ravonna Renslayer. While Kate Herron directed Loki season 1, she won’t be returning for season 2. Marvel reportedly cast Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. Marvel Studios has yet to announce a release date for Loki season 2. In the meantime, you can look forward to the Ms. Marvel series on June 8 and Thor: Love & Thunder a month later on July 8.
