Richard E. Grant Shares Pitch for a Classic Loki and Alligator Loki Team-Up Marvel Series

Richard E. Grant was fantastic in the role of Classic Loki in Marvel’s Loki series. He was a lot of fun to watch in the role, and it would have been cool to see more of him. I don’t know if we will one day, but the actor does have an idea for a spinoff series that would focus on a team-up of Classic Loki and Alligator Loki.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor shared:

“Alligator Loki was fantastic because in reality, he was three stuffed sofa cushions that had been sewn roughly together to react to. [Laughs] The fact that I was the only person that could understand what he was saying was just fantastic. I think it’s the perfect segue into having Classic Old Loki and Alligator Loki as a sub-series to go to next.

“I am the Doctor Dolittle of the Marvel universe when it comes to speaking to alligators. I speak alligator fluently. Put that in the contract of when I’m doing a series as Classic Old Loki, with muscles and the alligator. It’ll have subtitles, so the audience can hear what the alligator is saying, and everyone else is saying, ‘What is he saying? What is he talking about?’ That’ll be the way.”

I think fans would like to see something like that. These have become two fan-favorite characters in Loki so a show that would follow them on some kind of adventure would certainly be welcome.

Grant went on to talk about landing the role and how he thought he was going to get a muscle suit because he had no muscles for wearing a suit with tights.

“If I had a muscle suit, most certainly. I was denied that. I saw the costume design, and I was very familiar with Jack Kirby’s original illustrations from the ’60s, so I thought, ‘Ah, this guy’s got muscles!’ As I had been born without any, I was finally going to get in a muscle suit. I got to Atlanta [to begin filming], and they said, ‘There’s no muscle suit! You’re just wearing this!’ I said, ‘But I look like Kermit the Frog!‘ They said, ‘Nope, you’re not having a muscle suit.’ So I was very, very upset about that. [Laughs] Short-changed!”

What do you think about the possibility of seeing a Classic Loki and Alligator Loki adventure series?
