Loki's Tom Hiddleston could not contain his inner fanboy when meeting his season 2 co-star, Everything Everywhere All at Once's Ke Huy Quan.
"There was one particular day of shooting, and [Tom] found something on set. He saw it and he said, 'Oh my gosh, I cannot believe I am working with Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,'" Quan told Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. "And he was so cute and so kind, and I was so excited and I said, 'Oh my god, did anybody get that on tape! Please tell me somebody got that on tape!' He was incredible. We laughed so hard, and I didn't want that shoot to end."
Quan also gushed about the Loki star, saying, "I love Tom Hiddleston. One of the kindest, generous -- one of the most talented actors I've ever had the pleasure to work with." On the possibility of returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the future, Quan added, "I don't know. I really don't know. That is a question you would have to ask [Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige. All I can say is that I had the most amazing time, and I'm so grateful for it. I've been a fan of a lot of Marvel movies, dating back to the first one, the Iron Man."
Quan Joins the MCU
Feige was the first to call Quan after the release of Everything Everywhere All at Once. "When our movie came out, the first phone call I got was from Kevin Feige, who grciously asked me if I wanted to join the MCU," Quan said. The offer to join Loki Season 2 was an easy yes for Quan, who was already a fan of the series. "When Loki Season 1 came out, I thought it was one of the most creative television shows ever made, and I was instantly a big fan. So, when I got that call from Kevin Feige to join season 2 -- Oh my gosh, I was just jumping up with joy." The Golden Globe-winning actor is rumored to be playing a character called "B-O," short for "Oroborus," a member of the Time Variance Authority in charge of tech.
In addition to Loki Season 2, Quan can be seen in Netlfix's The Electric State, which reunites him with Everything Everywhere All at Once producers Joe and Anthony Russo. The upcoming sci-fi adventure film's stacked cast also includes Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Stanley Tucci, Jason Alexander, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Giancarlo Esposito, Anthony Mackie and Billy Bob Thornton. The film is expected to hit the streamer in 2024.
No specific release date is set for Loki Season 2, but fans can expect it sometime in Summer 2023.
