We first learned that DeObia Oparei would appear in Loki when the teaser trailer for the series showed the actor playing someone who appeared to be an alternate version of Thor.
Well, thanks to yesterday's mind-blowing episode, "The Nexus Event," we now know that Oparei is, in fact, playing a character who has been dubbed "Boastful Loki." As of right now, we don't know what that really means or why this particular God of Mischief is wielding a hammer that looks like it could be Mjolnir!
Answers are likely heading our way next Wednesday, but Oparei took to Twitter yesterday to share an awesome behind the scenes image of his Loki suited up on the set of the Disney+ series. While it was hard to tell in that mind-blowing mid-credits scene, he's clearly decked out in Loki's colours and looks like a far more formidable version of the trickster than we're used to seeing.
The actor actually had quite a few big credits to his name before joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Game of Thrones, Jumanji: The Next Level, and Sex Education (a series Loki director Kate Herron has helmed multiple episodes of). He'll next be seen in Joe and Anthony Russo's The Gray Man.
