[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
What's up, everybody?
I'm Langston Belton.
And I am joined by the cast and creative team
of Marvel Studios' Loki.
Hello, everyone.
All right, let's get into it.
So at the end of episode one, we find out that there
are multiple Lokis out there.
So, Tom, what was it like approaching
this role with that knowledge?
Well, you know, we contain multitudes, as the saying goes.
I found there's so many multifaceted aspects
of his character, which often exist
within him, either in concert or in conflict.
And that's part of the pleasure I have in playing him.
And then to have the interior multiplicity externalized
was thrilling.
Ah.
So for the rest of you, what was it
like building a brand-new series around a character like Loki
that the fans already know and love?
Tom is a Loki encyclopedia.
And we kind of came up with this idea,
and I was like, we should do Loki school.
And he basically like spoke to all my heads of department
and did, like, a Loki lecture.
Meeting with him, and him kind of walking me
through over the course of a few days, kind
of the whole mythology and explaining his character
and letting me kind of ask questions.
And I think that stuff really helped within our dynamic
once we started filming.
Now there are some amazing new characters in this series,
as well.
Can you please tell us a little bit about your characters?
My character-- she is a hunter, Hunter B-15.
And she works for the TVA.
She's pretty rigid.
[LAUGHS] She's a little cheeky, too, and a little salty.
I play Ravonna Renslayer, who is a judge in the TVA.
She's worked her way up.
She had a history as a hunter, a more military role,
like Wunmi's character.
And she came up from that to be sort of one of the most
powerful judges in the TVA who reports directly
to the Time-Keepers, who are sort
of the all-seeing overlords of time.
Oh, nice And, Owen, your character, Mobius,
goes out of his way to enlist the help of Loki.
So what's on Mobius's mind?
Well, you know, nothing much, just
the fate of the whole universe.
Uh-- [LAUGHS]
Let's talk about the whole universe.
If there are variant versions of all of you
out there across various timelines,
what do you think they're up to right now?
[LAUGHS] Oh, my gosh.
I don't know.
Variant versions of me.
There are.
And some are, you know, some are very quiet and well-behaved,
and some are more mischievous.
I suppose there's a version of me in some alternate reality
who didn't get cast as Loki.
A teacher?
Is he a gardener?
No.
I'd be a terrible gardener.
I just don't have it in the DNA.
There's probably ballet Gugu and painter Gugu.
Oh, an archaeologist.
Or a volcanic researcher.
Those are all things I wanted to do when I was a kid.
In episode one, we get a tour of the incredible TVA
headquarters.
What was it like creating a brand-new location for the MCU?
I think, for me, the exciting thing
in creating the TVA is this organization that exists
outside of space and time.
So it's kind of like Vegas in a way that--
it's not on a planet.
There's no sun.
It's in this unknowable kind of place.
And the comic books have these amazing images of, like,
these desks stretching off into infinity, which
is definitely something we took to our designer
and were inspired by.
We had to define what that power set is.
There were certainly just a lot of time travel rule
defining that we had to do.
But ultimately, very exciting to take the most powerful arguably
magical organization that you could possibly conceive,
and then make them as boring as possible.
Just purely bureaucratic paperwork.
Well, some people find paperwork exciting.
To each their own, right?
Well, all right.
I'm sorry.
I got to put you on the spot.
What are you most excited for fans to see in this series?
I mean, the whole thing.
It's a whole new world.
And it just opens you up to different ideas,
and about good and bad, and right and wrong,
and hero villain.
I am most excited for fans to see what happens to Loki when
he has nowhere left to run.
And he can't delude himself anymore.
And I'll stop talking, otherwise I'll say too much.
Well, we are all very excited to see what comes next.
Thank you all so much for joining me.
