[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Loki, Season 2 Episode 6 “Glorious Purpose.”] Loki‘s second season has come to a close and with it, the ending of a major chapter for Tom Hiddleston‘s former God of Mischief as the titular character transformed into a new kind of God. By the end of the episode, he’s sacrificed his freedom and life for the safety and possibility of his friends’ lives, leaving them and everyone else the option of free will as he maintains the timelines and branches upon He Who Remains’ (Jonathan Majors) former throne. Replacing a broken system with something new and potentially better, Loki takes the throne and leaves his Tva team to keep potentially dangerous variants of He Who Remains in line. Below, directors Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson along with executive producer Kevin Wright answer some of the biggest questions posed in Season 2’s finale.

From Steven Soderbergh to Zhang Yimou, many directors also spend time as cinematographers. Fewer directors come out of production design, but when they do (hi Robert Eggers) it also makes sense. Filmmaking is image making, and what’s arranged inside the frame is ultimately what creates the evocative texture and feeling of a whole world. Or, in the case of “Loki,” it’s what creates the feeling of whole timelines.
So it’s both a little surprising and makes complete sense to learn that “Loki” production designer Kasra Farahani stepped into the writers’ room for Season 2 and the director’s chair for Episode 3 of this season. One of the great joys of “Loki” is its dense, retro-future look; it’s one that required a lot of collaboration between the writing and production design teams in Season 1 and led to Farahani and his art department making a lot of visual additions.

Marvel’s multiverse has been turning out variants of all shapes and sizes over the last several years. But could anything have prepared us for Loki: The Hero?
In Season 2 of the MCU’s most popular Disney+ series “Loki,” Tom Hiddleston’s Norse God of Mischief is all about saving his new friends at the Time Variance Authority from annihilation, along with billions who reside on ever multiplying timelines throughout the cosmos. Hiddleston, who’s played one of the most malign forces in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a dozen years, convinces us of Loki’s newfound altruism, only referencing his evil past in soul-searching conversations and using it as a threat when doing good cop/bad cop routines with his new best bud, Tva functionary Mobius (Owen Wilson).
This makeover should not work but it does, along with everything else in the first four episodes of Season 2’s six shown to critics.

“This is all very familiar, isn’t it?”
So says a character best left unnamed in an episode best left unspecified during the initial hours of “Loki” Season 2. The context doesn’t really matter — and thank the gods for that, given how spoiler-phobic Marvel acolytes can get and how difficult it would be to explain what’s going on anyway. All that matters is [redacted] isn’t wrong. What’s going on in the scene is familiar. We’ve seen it before, we might very well see it again, and pretending otherwise would be ignoring the obvious. So this so-and-so calls it out… only, once it’s been said, it can’t be unsaid. The words reverberate beyond their specific intention and balloon into a meta acknowledgement of “Loki’s” maddeningly loopy, levity-resistant second season.

If you’re going to bring in a new female lead to work alongside Samuel L. Jackson in a Marvel Cinematic Universe show, it can’t be any ordinary actor — it’s got to be someone with the presence and gravitas to match the intensity of Jackson. That’s why producers turned to the extraordinary Olivia Colman. She’s a three-time Oscar nominee, winning in 2019 for her role in The Favourite, and she’s a four-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee, winning in 2021 for The Crown. Colman had no problem going toe-to-toe with Jackson on the set of Secret Invasion, and when we spoke to her about the experience, she had plenty of complimentary things to say about him.

While several actors familiar to Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are featured in the new series Secret Invasion, including Samuel L. Jackson, Martin Freeman, Don Cheadle, and Cobie Smulders, there are also some notable additions to the cast. One of those is former Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke, who plays one of the Skrulls intent on taking over the Earth. As good as her GoT experience was (she was nominated for four Primetime Emmy Awards during its run), Clarke says that getting a gig in the MCU has been even more incredible.
