Loki's season 2 premiere is now streaming on Disney+ and Marvel Studios has released a gallery of stills from "Ouroboros" focusing on key characters and moments.
Among them are Mobius in his TVA spacesuit, Sylvie's return in the episode's post-credits scene, and Loki slipping through time after his clash with He Who Remains in the season 1 finale. We also see more of the TVA's agents, including the sinister Agent Dox (who intends to find and prune Sylvie with an army of agents by her side).
Talking to Deadline, Loki executive producer Kevin Wright discussed the creative team's approach to this second batch of episodes and why they chose to pick up right where the last episode left us in 2021.

"We had a lot of conversations about [how] we can’t just come back and try to play the hits and do what we did in season one, because even if we recapture it and do that again, it won’t be fulfilling, and I think there was a sense of we built something really cool, and the audience went along with it."
"It was big sci-fi weird stuff, and if they have bought it, it felt like we had a lot of, then, freedom to go further and deeper with these characters and not fast-forward. Let’s pick up in that: what is the drama and the stakes of what is happening with Loki in the TVA with Sylvie?" he continues. "And I think anything that could be scary about picking up in a new season like this goes away when everybody just starts going, what is right for these characters?"
"We’re not trying to build some bigger Marvel arc. We’re not trying to do this. If we’re true to these characters, we will deliver on what people liked about season one, and we can build the world out and dive deeper into these characters and their drama."
