" I recollect everything citizenry bang about the first season is still here , but we put all of it in a pressure cooker ! "
It’s finally time to pick up where we left off withLokithe series, when the highly anticipated second season drops tomorrow onDisney+.
So, to celebrate season two dropping, we caught up with Kevin Wright and Dan Deleeuw to talk about the new episodes and ask them some of YOUR fan questions!
Hi both ! Congratulations , the serial publication is already Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes , how does that find ?
Dan : Everyone did such an amazing job and put a mountain of time into making it , so it ’s awing to eff that multitude are liking it so far .
Kevin : I ’m really worked up to just get it out into the universe and for fans to see it ! I think season two is like a sexual love letter to the fans that embraced time of year one and all of its weirdness .
What is the vibration for season two and how different is it from last season ? ( take by @sylkicest )
Dan : Season one was really about introducing the TVA and Loki variety of reevaluating who he is . I think in season two you ’re receive more of Loki the god of mischief , and instead of him being reigned in by Mobius in season one , his passions are unleashed this time of year .
Kevin : Yeah , I think everything people loved about the first time of year is still here , but we put all of it in a pressure cooker ! We cull up immediately where time of year one terminate with all the high stakes dramatic event , and we sort of live on in that stress for a bit .
This season is about people finding out who they really are , which they see under some especially stressful condition , but it forces some great character development , I think .
What do you feel are the most important determining broker for Loki ’s ontogeny this season ? ( submitted by @xlowkeyson )
Kevin : If Loki is ever to become the good variation of himself – whatever that means for Loki – then he has to encompass all aspects of himself . That ’s what this season is about for him . He ’s a truly brawny god and he ’s destined for so much more than just induce mischief . So that geographic expedition of who he is and what he can do is what determines his growth this time of year , I recall .
Dan : I intend it ’s also about his relationship with the other characters . He ’s gone from someone who had a blood brother – and that was a rough family relationship – and no friends , to having the great unwashed he really handle about . I like that his relationship with Mobius get from being an official one to something more like a friendship , and his relationship with Sylvie is engrossing too .
And devote hisbisexualreveal in time of year one , will we get to see Loki ’s queer identity explored this time of year ? ( submitted by @MsLm_97 )
Dan : Erm , it ’s not as present , honestly . It ’s kind of hard to pore on emotional opinion when the fate of the universe at stake , you know !
How does Sylvie change this season ?
Kevin : Well , Sylvie was seeking liberal will for everyone because she ’s never had it , so what does a quality do when they eventually have what they want ? I guess she ’s just seek to understand what a liveliness is , you bang ? She ’s a traumatised person – I do n’t call back she ’d ever guess of herself that way – but grow up the elbow room she did , she ’s traumatised . So she ’s trying to make champion and live in a place where the great unwashed can get to know her , which is completely new to her .
Dan : I opine it ’s interesting , all of the characters kind of represent different aspects of free will versus portion , right ? With Sylvie , she ’s reject destiny and supporting gratuitous will . She made the choice to kill He Who stay , and she does not require to veer from the path she ’s chosen . She ’s gon na be stiff about it too – she is a Loki , after all !
In three word , how would you describe the relationship between Loki and Sylvie in season two ? ( submitted by @sylkipositivity )
Dan : Let ’s see – complicated , regretful , and frustrated .
Kevin : I ’d say , neither can trust .
Will we see any of the other Loki variants repay – specifically " Kid Loki " and " Croki " ? ( submitted by @lokiusera and @ImSheWhoRemains )
Kevin : It ’s knockout to say without spoiling anything , but I would say that we did n’t want to go back and just play the hits again . However , I would love to see more of those characters and I think there ’s a bunch we can do with them .
Dan , Tom ( Hiddleston ) and Owen ( Wilson ) have such great chemistry and people seem to enjoy embark Loki and Mobius , is this something you ’re conscious of or have ever think about alluding to?Dan : We in spades look at the internet , like , we see what ’s going on on Reddit ! It ’s always decent when the story intersect with what fans require , but we do n’t use buff forums as a guide or anything . The story has to be tangible to us and tug the character to make honest decisions base on what is happening to them .
Kevin , now that the TVA and its delegation are in flux , how will Mobius react to all this chaos ? Will he get to redefine his own " glorious role " ? ( submitted by @CharCubed )
Kevin : I think that ’s a immense part of this time of year – for B15 and certainly for Mobius . The TVA is all they ’ve ever known , and that ’s kind of where they desire to be . For Mobius , that will really descend to be challenged this time of year , and he ’s go to be storm to read that his life was taken from him .
Dan , did you enjoy working withKe Huy Quan ? Do you have any behind - the - scenes narrative about him that you could separate us ? ( submitted by @sherlokius )
Dan : He ’s amazing . He ’s very tolerant and very gifted ; you always need him on solidifying because of his energy . I asked him about working with Spielberg and all sorts of things , but the in effect story I have is we were on set , and I was walking in one centering and he was walking in another . As he go past me , I realised he was buzz " The Imperial March " fromThe Empire Strikes Back . I was like , this is awe-inspiring , Short Round is humming " The Imperial March " !
Well , address ofStar Wars , were there any references you used as inspiration for your directorial option inLokithis season ? ( present by @CharCubed )
Dan : Yeah , I looked at ' 70 thrillers quite a raft – things likeThe French ConnectionandMarathon Man . At the starting time of the show , there ’s a car Salmon P. Chase and that was influenced by those variety of films .
People loved the " see you presently " pedigree from time of year one – which line do you cogitate people will haunt over in season two ? Do you have a favourite line of negotiation ?
Kevin : I do n’t want to mishandle anything , but Victor Timely has some not bad lines and we had a destiny of fun digging up some really majuscule 1800s sayings and mannerisms . My favorite is in reality in sequence six – I ’m trusting that people will know it when they hear it !
Dan : I care when Sylvie say the TVA is shit , that was nice . I like a lot of Tom ’s line , probably too many counting . I cogitate Sylvie ’s line are the safe though , you could sum up the season with what she says .
Kevin , you’ve suppose thatwith regards to Jonathan Majors appearing in this season , " the story that is on CRT screen is the fib we set out to make " . How do you think fans will oppose to Jonathan ’s return ?
Kevin : I could n’t say how they ’ll respond . My hope is they are engrossed by the story and not only his performance , but all the performance . There ’s a understanding why I say it ’s the account we set out to make , it ’s a good story and it ’s really beautifully perform by everybody . So my Bob Hope is that people will embrace it and revel it , but I also see that it ’s a complicated post .
What are some of the key differences between Kang , He Who Remains , and Victor Timely ?
Dan : I remember see Jonathan on set – I ’d worked with him onQuantumania – and we protrude to spill the beans about Kang , but he was in lineament as Victor Timely . He then say " oh , that guy ’s my buddy " . So I opine he ’s kind of established this genetic human relationship between them all , and that ’s how I look at them too .
Kevin : I think they ’re all very different people . Victor is somebody who ’s earnest and genuinely wants to do goodness . I retrieve He Who Remains think the same matter , or will take the same thing , but he ’s a bit more double-dealing . Whereas Kang is one of the chilling versions of the part , and someone Loki has been warned about .
Many trust that Kang is being shape to be the next big MCU villain à la Thanos , how does season ofLokicontribute to that ?
Kevin : InLoki , Kang is so essential to our account and has been the focal point of almost 12 hours of storytelling , so he already IS a grown part of the MCU . We ’ve laid all that groundwork , but we ’ll have to wait and see what others hail up with .
Dan : I do n’t know just what they ’re doing . I love Kang as a reference , and I think there are a lot of opportunities – just even from what we ’ve done – to explore .
Dan , what was the most difficult prospect to shoot this time of year ? ( submitted by @vcdvsbs )
Dan : A lot of the chase fit we shot in London in the summertime where you ’ve got like four and one-half minute of darkness , so that was a bit tricky . We ’d get everything countersink up and I ’d be looking at my DOP like , " can we go ? Can we go ? " We ’d be waiting for the sunshine to get low-toned and crushed and then dreading it add up up the next day !
That ’s funny ! Do you have a favourite episode you ’re excited for people to see ? ( submitted by @Sophy_Muses and @indigoblue171 )
Kevin : I do think episodes five and six are credibly the most beautiful and moving . Four is awesome too , it ’s like a pressure cooker , just like season one ’s 4th episode . I suppose what we did with the World Fair in episode three is beautiful and frankly feels like a movie in its own right hand , too . instalment one stumble the flat coat run , and for people who like the mischievous side of Loki , they ’ll delight that episode , I think .
And eventually , will there be a season three ? ? ? ( submitted by @lolo300 )
Kevin : I ’m gon na slip a Tom line : " time will tell " .
Dan : I was gon na say the same affair !
