LOKI Head Writer Says To "Expect The Unexpected" When It Comes To Surprise Character Cameos

Marvel's next Disney+ series, Loki, is set to premiere this Wednesday, and head writer Michael Waldron has now teased some surprise cameos by telling fans to "expect the unexpected." Mephisto confirmed!

Although raised (unrealistic?) expectations led to some fans being disappointed with who showed up, both WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier did feature some surprise character cameos, and it sounds like Loki will follow suit.

Marvel's next Disney+ series is set to premiere this Wednesday Wodensday, and if you weren't already planning to tune in, head writer Michael Waldron offered some more incentive during an interview with Digital Spy. Though he didn't go into specifics, Waldon revealed that no Marvel Comics character was off-limits, and he was given the green light to "go wherever we wanted to."

"If they were within the rights, and legal could clear it, there was no reason we couldn't try and chase them down." When pressed for details on possible cameos, he told them to "expect the unexpected".

The show's time-twisting, alternate reality-spanning plot means any number of previously established or brand new characters could appear. Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror has been rumored to make his MCU debut in Loki prior to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but we haven't really heard about any other possibilities. We have our own theories, but at the risk of spoiling anything, we'll keep them to ourselves until more of you have had a chance to watch!

You can check out my reaction to the first two episodes of Loki below.

I would like to see Hela make a cameo again. It would be interesting to see Loki voyage to Hel and find Hela imprisoned but has no idea whom she is and why she's there.

Well we’ve learned from the last 2 shows that when the show runner or cast member says “big cameo” we fans know it’s really a “small lesser known cameo” 🤷‍♂️

Poor lads just can't sleep if they don't tease us with this shit.

Watch em trying to sell Hawkeye and She-Hulk with the same marketing gimmick as if we only watch these shows for the cameos...

Great cameos? Lame cameos? Based on my experience with the two previous shows it doesn't really matter, as long as it gets people riled up enough.
