If the cast of Marvel Studios' most-watched Disney+ series, Loki, know anything about a third season, they aren't about to let anything slip.
Tom Hiddleston recently said he wasn't sure if the show would return, and co-star Sophia Di Martino was similarly unforthcoming when asked about her MCU future at a Loki FYC Emmy screening and Q&A at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills (via Variety).
“I have no idea, honestly. I’m open to more, but honestly I think the [Season 2] finale was great and if that’s it, I’m very grateful for what we’ve had. But they don’t say anything. The veil of secrecy extends to us, too.”
It's possible that the actors really haven't been told anything about a third season of Loki, of course, but if there are plans in place for their respective characters to return in other projects down the line, we'd assume they will have been given at least some indication of when they'll be needed.
If Di Martino does get the opportunity to reprise her role as the female God of Mischief Variant, Sylvie, she wants to share the screen with the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth).
“I think it would be great to see Sylvie and Thor,” she said. “I think it would be fun to see them get wound up, especially if Loki is in the equation. Three siblings together? The dynamic would be interesting.”
If Loki does return for a third season, adding Thor to the mix - even for a couple of episodes - might be the way to go.
Last year, executive producer Kevin Wright suggested that plans may already be in place for the "God of Stories" to return.
"I speak for myself and not Marvel, but I am certainly pitching ideas of where I could see certain stories going," he teased. "I think there are a lot of stories you can tell at the TVA, and we are just scratching the surface on that. I would love to see more stories with Loki, and I think Tom would continue to play this character until he is Richard E. Grant's Classic Loki [laughs]. But I don't think that means you need to have this story every year or every two years. It's about doing it when we have a good story to tell. I would love to keep working with these filmmakers."
"We built a really awesome team, and if Loki is Breaking Bad, maybe there's a way for this team to keep telling stories with our version of Better Call Saul — whether that's with Sylvie, with the TVA, or with a new Loki," he added. "But we only want to do that if we have the right story and it can be just as fulfilling as this one. After all, you can't be the God of Stories if you're not going to tell more stories."
Loki also stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wunmi Mosaku, Eugene Cordero, Rafael Casal, Tara Strong, Kate Dickie, Liz Carr, Neil Ellice, with Jonathan Majors, Ke Huy Quan and Owen Wilson.
