Every Time, Everywhere, All At Once: Ke Huy Quan Enters The Timeline In Loki Season 2
Ke Huy Quan is joining another multiverse.
The actor, who recently wowed audiences in Everything Everywhere All At Once, is set to join the cast of Loki season 2. The announcement came at Disney’s D23 Expo in Anaheim Saturday. Loki was renewed before the end of the first season, which aired on Disney+.
Marvel head Kevin Feige made the announcement, but did not disclose any details about Quan’s character on the show. Quan became a sensation as a child actor in the 1980s, in films like Goonies and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. He recently made a much-lauded comeback in EEAAO.
Quan joked to those assembled, “I’m very confused: Is this not the Indiana Jones panel?”, alluding to the fact that Harrison Ford and his co-stars and crew were up on stage earlier.
Loki, which stars Tom Hiddleston as Thor’s trickster brother, is set in a Marvel Cinematic Universe world, albeit one where the timelines have widely diverged from the Avengers movie world. Here, the God of Mischief is a fish-out-of-water when he lands in trouble with the bureaucratic TVA (Time Variance Authority) after absconding with the Tesseract.
Hiddleston and Quan will be joined by fellow cast members Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant.
The second season is currently in production, and according to Hiddleston, will pick up where season one left off.
