‘Loki’ Director Kate Herron Will Not Return for Season 2
When “Loki” returns for a second season, it will do so with a new director. Kate Herron will not return for the Tom Hiddleston-led Marvel show’s follow up.

Emmy Experts’s predictions slugfest: Dissecting ‘WandaVision’s’ nomination explosion and what it means for ‘Loki’ next year [Watch]
If you’re still marveling over Marvel’s 28 Emmy nominations for its first two ventures in TV, don’t worry, we are as well. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are once again joined by Kaitlin Thomas, their fellow Expert and our chief Marvel correspondent, to discuss the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s huge Emmy breakthrough — 23 of the nominations are for “WandaVision” — and what categories it could actually win.

The other five bids were for the MCU’s drama entry “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,” whose biggest nomination was guest actor for Don Cheadle. Now an 11-time nominee, he made headlines for getting nominated for a, uh, rather brief appearance in the first episode of the Disney+ series and remaining unbothered by the haters, but Kaitlin warned everyone (and timed the performance!) last month that the nomination could happen, so we give her the proper props.

Evan Peters finally welcomed into Emmy club thanks to ‘Mare of Easttown’ fan-fave role
“American Horror Story” fans everywhere breathed a sigh of relief on the morning of July 13 when Evan Peters finally received his first Emmy nomination. The 34-year-old actor has been working in the entertainment industry since he was just a tyke, but up until now he only had a Critics Choice nomination to his name for “AHS: Cult” (2018). Now he’s been nominated by the Television Academy for his fan-fave role on “Mare of Easttown” as detective Colin Zabel.

Peters received some of the best reviews of his career for the HBO limited series in this the change-of-pace part opposed Kate Winslet‘s title character, detective sergeant Mare Sheehan.

Emmy Nominations: 6 Key Takeaways, From ‘The Crown’ to ‘Hamilton,’ on 2021 Ballot

Emmy Nominations: 6 Key Takeaways, From ‘The Crown’ to ‘Hamilton,’ on 2021 Ballot
The year that has passed between the announcement of the 72nd and the 73rd annual Primetime Emmy Award nominations has been one of dramatic change. From the presidential election and subsequent inauguration to the Covid-19 vaccine finally rolling out, allowing more productions to resume, the type of content, let alone its volume and origin, has fluctuated with the times. Last year, for example, we were talking about Quibi’s entrance into the Emmy race, but now that streamer has shut down.

And of course, all that affected the 73rd annual Emmy nominations, announced July 13.

Such former Television Academy darlings as HBO’s “Succession” and Amazon Prime Video’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” were still facing production delays that kept them from completing and releasing new seasons by the end of this year’s eligibility window. They sat out the race, paving the way for first-time nominees such as Amazon’s

‘Loki’ Finale Recap: So Who Is [Spoiler] and How Could They Affect the MCU?
Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched Season 1, Episode 6 of “Loki,” streaming now on Disney Plus.

Between the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) tormenting townspeople and twisting the fabric of reality to keep her synthezoid loved one alive and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), unleashing the wrath of Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) and completely disrupting the Sacred Timeline all in one vengeful knife jab, it seems that the Sorcerer Supreme (Benedict Cumberbatch) is going to have a lot of clean-up to do in Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”

Fans reacted to the “Loki” season finale, which sets up Kang as one of the MCU’s next Big Bads with memes galore on social media. They theorized about what Sylvie’s decision and the newly introduced villain will bring to upcoming Marvel projects — particularly “Multiverse of Madness,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.

Elizabeth Olsen on the MCU’s Awards Breakthrough and Recognizing Actors in Genre Stories

Elizabeth Olsen on the MCU’s Awards Breakthrough and Recognizing Actors in Genre Stories
Elizabeth Olsen was desperate to ignore Emmy nomination day. “I was focusing on emptying my dishwasher,” Olsen said in a nominations’ day interview with IndieWire. “Really making sure those water spots were not water spots anymore.”

When told she was nominated for her emotionally resonant and empathetic performance in the Disney+ series “WandaVision,” Olsen said it was surprising because she’s never really sure what will be successful or not.

“[You] always set yourself up for potential failure,” she said.

Olsen said it took a bit for her to realize the impact the Marvel series was having, especially among audiences who wouldn’t necessarily consider themselves fans of superhero content. Co-stars Kathryn Hahn and Paul Bettany — who also secured nominations on Tuesday — were in the States at the time the series was released and funneled reactions back to Olsen, who was in a small English town.
