Out of all of Disney+’s Marvel exclusives, Loki may be the most exciting as the show premiered multiple multiverse versions of the Trickster God and the possible next big bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Can fans expect even more excitement in Season 2? The pair of directors responsible for the next batch seem to think so.

The team of Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson are stepping into the shoes of Season 1 director Kate Herron for Loki’s next adventures. In a recent interview with Comicbook, they admitted to experiencing a whirlwind year that included directing two episodes of Moon Knight. Following that experience, they’re on board for the full season of Loki, and they say that both shows carry one common thread.
“I think the biggest thing about Loki is just that it’s actually a lot like Moon Knight, where there’s just no reason to do it if it’s not going to be something new and fresh,” Moorhead explained. “It’s funny, it does feel like Marvel would be willing to walk away unless it actually is something that they felt the unexpected. Like from Moon Knight and especially because Moon Knight is a character where nobody knows almost anything about him, yet. Soon to be changed, right? And so our gloves are off and we get to kind of do whatever we want. Everybody at Marvel and ourselves gets really excited when we are presented with the unexpected. We also of course, hope that people watching feel the same way and we’re gonna bring all that to Loki.”

Fans can get a sneak peek at Moorhead and Benson’s style when Moon Knight premieres on Disney’s streaming service this coming Wednesday, March 30.
