“I don’t see them as being like brother and sister. “My interpretation of it is that they’re both Lokis, but they aren’t the same person,” she says. Herron is willing to speak up about that one.
KATE HERRON SERIES
The series has been a popular source of fan conjecture and argument, with one particularly big rolling conversation focusing on whether the budding romantic relationship between trickster Asgardian Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his alternate-universe counterpart Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) is a form of incest.
KATE HERRON PLUS
Loki has been a hit for streaming service Disney Plus - episode 6 of the show, the final installment for this season, was reportedly watched by more households than any of the platform’s MCU finales to date. “I don’t always weigh in on them, because I made the show, so they don’t want me weighing in like, ‘ Actually, guys…’ I think that’s the whole point of art - it should be up for debate and discussion.” “I follow all the conversations on Twitter,” Herron told Polygon in an interview shortly after Loki’s season 1 finale. No, she won’t tell you what she thinks about it, or whether you were right. The first season of Loki is currently streaming on Disney+.Yes, Loki series director Kate Herron knows about your fan theory about the show, the analysis you posted to social media. But like all things, we'll try to keep an open mind and wait patiently for what's gonna happen next. Without a queer creative at the helm, it's a little worrying as a queer Marvel fan to see what the future holds in terms of explicit LGBTQ+ representation, especially since we've been waiting so long for it in mainstream superhero media and all we've gotten so far is tiny crumbs. "I love Marvel and I’d love to work with them again, but my outing with Loki is what I’ve done with them." "I’m just focused on my own stuff at the moment," Herron said. And I hope it has opened the door to more stories, definitely."Īs far as what the future holds for Herron, she says that while she's grateful for the chance to work on Loki for Marvel Studios, she is currently just focusing on her own projects. "But I would say that part of my thinking was, well, if it's canon and it's acknowledged, then yeah I hope there's obviously more road to travel with that aspect of his personality. "Basically I don't know plans for the future with Loki - I'm so focused on this story," Herron told Collider. And when it came to whether or not his queerness would be explored further in future episodes or future seasons, Herron wasn't sure, but she hopes that Loki paves the way for more LGBTQ+ stories to be told in the MCU. Though it was a hallmark moment for LGBTQ+ Marvel fans, it's worth noting that that brief instance in Loki was the only one in the show's first season where the titular character's sexuality was mentioned. I know this is a small step but I’m happy, and my heart is so full, to say that this is now canon in the #MCU." "It is a part of who he is and who I am too. "From the moment I joined it was very important to me, and my goal, to acknowledge Loki was bisexual," Herron wrote on Twitter when the series' third episode (the episode where Loki confirms he has dated both men and women) premiered back in June. In addition to directing the entire first season, Herron (who is bisexual herself) was instrumental in getting the Loki character's (played famously by British heartthrob Tom Hiddleston) bisexuality officially confirmed canon on the show, a groundbreaking moment of queer inclusion and representation in the otherwise super hetero Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’m working on some other stuff yet to be announced." I’m really happy to watch it as a fan next season, but I just think I’m proud of what we did here and I’ve given it my all. "I always planned to be just on for this, and to be honest, Season 2 wasn’t in the - that’s something that just came out, and I’m so excited. "I’m not returning," the UK-based filmmaker told Deadline. In a recent interview with Deadline, the hit streaming show's director and executive producer Kate Herron revealed that she will not be returning to helm the series following the season one finale's confirmation that Loki will be getting a second season.
A key voice in the creation of Disney+ and Marvel Studios' Loki series won't be returning for the show's upcoming second season.
