Owen Wilson Required A Loki MCU History Lesson from Professor Tom Hiddleston

Loki Disney Plus Tom Hiddleston Owen Wilson

Loki’s Mobius, played by Owen Wilson, knows everything there is to know about the God of Mischief in the new Disney+ series, but the actor playing the TVA agent is not familiar with the MCU or Loki of Asgard. Before the production, Tom Hiddleston sat down with Wilson to give him the 411 on the anti-hero’s misadventures, and out of those “Loki lectures,” as the actors refer to it, the script started to take shape with some of Wilson’s takes on the beloved character making their way onto their quirky banter.

 Loki Series Tom Hiddleston

The Loki series is not what you’d expect. The new Disney+ series is a time traveling crime thriller. The first two episodes are heavy on the exposition between Owen Wilson’s Mobius and Tom Hiddleston’s anti-hero, and light on the action but it is full of intrigue with a set up that’ll keep viewers tuned in.

'Cruella' Movie Review: Outrageous But Fun

Emma Stone in Cruella

CRUELLA is a pompous spectacle with a punk rock vibe. Every aspect of Disney’s origins story is outrageous but so much fun to revel in. The film is gorgeous to look at from the production design, the costumes, the cinematography and the hair/make-up to the delicious rivalry between Emma Stone and Emma Thompson. Everyone is a scene stealer including Cruella’s sidekicks Paul Walter Hauser and Joel Fry, and the dogs are best in show as well.
