The executive producer of the series 'Loki' provides insight into the reasons behind the unaffected nature of the show despite Jonathan Majors' arrest. Additionally, the casting of Ke Huy Quan and Tom Hiddleston's future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is discussed.

Out of the eight live-action TV shows that have been produced by Marvel Studios for Disney+, only one has concluded with a definitive promise of a second season. This show is "Loki," a highly entertaining series that follows the adventures of Tom Hiddleston's mischievous god and his metaphysical exploits within the Time Variance Authority (TVA). Interestingly, plans for a second season were already being developed even before the first season of "Loki" had finished streaming. According to executive producer Kevin Wright, discussions about Season 2 began while they were still in production for the third episode of Season 1, specifically during the shooting of the "Lamentis" episode. Wright explains that he and Hiddleston wanted to explore and expand the world of "Loki" without repeating themselves or relying on familiar storylines. They also wanted to ensure that Season 2 did not simply fast-forward through the dramatic events of the Season 1 finale. Speaking of the finale, a lot happened in that episode. To summarize, Loki and Sylvie, a variant who could potentially be his soulmate, find themselves at the end of time where they encounter He Who Remains, the creator of the TVA portrayed by Jonathan Majors. He Who Remains is actually a variant of the supervillain Kang, who emerged victorious in a massive multiversal war. In order to prevent the emergence of more Kang variants, He Who Remains has used the TVA to maintain a single, sacred timeline, resulting in the pruning of countless potential lives. He presents Sylvie and Loki with an impossible choice: either take his place as the head of the TVA or kill him, thereby unleashing an infinite number of Kang variants.
