Ke Huy Quan Shares Fun Story About Working with Tom Hiddleston on Marvel's LOKI
Ke Huy Quan has been seeing all the love since he made his awesome return to the big screen in Everything Everywhere All At Once. One of the first projects that he jumped on board after that was Marvel’s Loki Season 2. He previously talked about how that came about, saying:
"When our movie came out, the first phone call I got was from Kevin Feige. Who graciously asked me if I wanted to join the MCU and I called Jonathan and the gang, and I said, you know what, nobody wants to hire me except Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, The Daniels, and Kevin Feige. It's been incredible. 2022 is the year I will always remember because it's one of the happiest years of my life."
Quan has been busy winning awards and working on Loki Season 2, and while a guest on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Quan shared a fun experience about working with Tom Hiddleston on the highly anticipated marvel project and said:
“There was one particular day of shooting, and [Tom] found something on set, He saw it and he said, ‘Oh my gosh, I cannot believe I am working with Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and he was so cute and so kind, and I was so excited and I said, ‘Oh my god, did anybody get that on tape! Please tell me somebody got that on tape!’ He was incredible. We laughed so hard, and I didn’t want that shoot to end.”
There’s no word on who Quan will be playing in Loki, but the fans can’t wait to see the actor back in action! On top of Loki, Quan is also set to star in Russo Brothers’ The Electric State, about “an orphaned teenager traverses the American West with a sweet but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother.”
He will also re-team with Everything Everywhere All at Once co-star Michelle Yeoh in the Disney series American Born Chinese, which “follows Jin Wang, an average teenager juggling his high school social life with his immigrant home life. When he meets a new foreign student at school even more worlds collide in Jin's life.”
Quan just won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture and is likely going to be nominated for an Academy Award as well. It’s going to be really interesting and cool to see what future movie roles await Quan!
