With directorKate Herron’sLokigetting ready to start streaming on Disney+ later this week, the other day I landed an exclusive interview withTom Hiddlestonto talk about the Marvel series. As most of you know from the trailers,Lokitakes place after the God of Mischief 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.
During the interview, Hiddleston talked about howKenneth Branaghchanged his life by casting him as Loki, whether Loki will ever get a love interest, some of the people that don’t get enough credit for helping to make a series likeLoki, if he has plans to direct, his favorite London theater to perform in, and more. In addition, we talked about the chances of aLokiSeason 2.

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 HomeandDoctor 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.
Lokiwill premiere the first of its six episodes June 9 on Disney+. Check out what Hiddleston had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
