![]() And the director took a few moments to say goodbye. But the MCU will continue to feel her impact for years to come, should the studio's Phase 4 become a Phase 5, 6, 7 and 8.Īfter Loki season 1's momentous finale-in which Jonathan Majors appears for the first time as a variant of Kang the Conqueror, named He Who Remains- grabbed some time with Herron to learn what went into such a carefully crafted reveal. Marvel just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and she has other characters to conquer. Herron has revealed to press that she has no plans to return for Loki season 2, preferring to leave the chaos of the multiverse to the whims of another. Still, it's not easy for the director, who's also known for her work on Sex Education, to hand off the reins. In other words, Herron's Loki was a humongous deal, even by Marvel's increasingly oversized standards. And she introduced the multiverse, drafting up perhaps one of the biggest cliffhanger reveals since the end of Avengers: Infinity War. She blessed Marvel fans with their first canonically bisexual character. She transformed a beloved side character into a protagonist. If she could turn back time, there isn't much Loki director Kate Herron would do differently. It was moving because it was the effort of a lot of people and goodwill to make this work in the safest way we could.“Hearst Magazines and Verizon Media may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below.” “We were obviously filming in a pandemic by this point, so all the actors playing the people in the city were isolating. The filming was towards the end of the schedule, Herron says. Bisha had this amazing description of the planet cracking and a whole city going silent. We wanted it to be impressive and make the viewer feel like they were with the characters for the ride. It was the first thing that my DP, Autumn Durald, and I worked on together, in terms of conceptualizing it from Bisha’s (K Ali) script. It was something that we all as a team had been working towards. He is bringing all this passion and excitement, so it called the rest of us to match that.”Īpart from Loki’s bisexuality, the Lamentis episode, is also one of the most visually arresting episodes with Loki and Sylvie forming a tentative bond even as the moon they are on is being annihilated. Every day he came to set, you know he is bringing his A game. He has been playing this character for 10 years. The main thing that comes across is that Tom really cares. Working with Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki and was also one of the executive producers, was incredible, Herron says. The fun thing with him was the sense that there can be actions that are heroic but what are the consequences and are they the right actions to take?” Loki is taking down the TVA, but is it the right decision? He is even fighting for not doing that in the final episode. That is the theme that runs through the show. The show is not so clean cut in terms of good and bad. I would argue that in our show he does tip into anti-hero territory. Loki seems to have lost his mojo as a hero-he was cooler as an anti-hero. It was nice to see Loki grow as a character, because of the love he found within himself, to see the good points of another version of himself.” For Loki, it is pure love.Both of them do have these feelings and they are not quite sure what to do with them and what it means. She does care about him, but she has to do the mission. They are the same person but from different realities. “They are not exactly the same being, because they are from different timelines. ![]() Is it self-love, next-level narcissism or Loki being in touch with his feminine self? “I always read it as self-love,” the Loki and Sylvie, who is Lady Loki, share a kiss which has also led to a great deal of speculation. “I felt it was important to acknowledge his bisexuality. ![]() With Loki telling Sylvie in episode 3, Lamentis, he is into princes and princesses, he confirms his bisexuality and becomes MCU’s first queer character. ![]() “Questions like who is B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku)? What was in her memories? What is her past? Where did Ravonna (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) go? Where did Mobius (Owen Wilson) go? What will happen to the TVA (Time Variance Authority)? Where is Loki? Will Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) be okay? I will be excited to see these questions explored further and I am sure there will be many surprises as well.” ![]() The 33-year-old director says she would like to know the answers to all the questions that people were left with in Season One. ![]()
