LOKI Director Kate Herron Talks About What She's Like to See in Season 2 and There's New Kang Poster
While Loki Season 1 director Kate Herron will not be coming back to work on the second season, she does have some thoughts on what she would like to see explored as the story continues. The first season sure did end with a pretty crazy cliffhanger and there are also a lot of story and character threads to follow as things progress.
During a recent interview with Variety, Herron talked about what she’d like to see in Season 2, starting with Gugu Mbatha-Raw's mysterious character Judge Ravonna Renslayer. She would like to know more about her and her time outside of the TVA.
“I love her. Gugu used to always call her an indoor girl, which made me laugh, but she is. She’s in the office, but she used to be this kick-ass Hunter. So I’m like, Okay, well, where’s her path going?”
“I was like, we shouldn’t see her memories. It’s a character that thought they had power and realizes they have no power. It felt really powerful to at least give her some power in that scenario. The memories are private. They’re hers. Also as a fan, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, who is she?!'”
She then went on to talk about Loki, and how he’s stranded in an alternate reality while Sylvie is still hanging out at end of time, having just killed Jonathan Majors' He Who Remains, a.k.a. Kang.
“And obviously, you know, Loki and Sylvie? He’s in a completely different reality. What’s going to happen to him? How will he get back? Or will he get back? And where’s Sylvie? She’s still in the Citadel? And the multiverse of it all. What the hell is going to happen?!”
She went on to add:
“So I think there’s so many questions to be answered, and so much more road to travel with all our characters. You know, I’m really proud that I got to set up Loki’s story here. But there’s so many different aspects of his identity and personality that’s yet to be explored. I’m excited to see where it goes.”
So, while she had a huge hand in developing this show, she is asking all of the questions that the fans are. She’s pretty much in the same boat as the rest of us. Everything she wants to see is the same as what we want.
It’s going to be really interesting to see what Marvel is planning and how they will proceed with this series and where exactly Season 2 will pick up after the events of the upcoming films like Spider-Man: Far From Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Ant-Man: Quantumania.
I also included a new poster that was released for Loki featuring Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains ,a.k.a. Kang.
