The Unmissable Rise of Ke Huy Quan: Discover Why He Will Steal Your Heart in Loki Season 2

Summary

Ke Huy Quan's new character, OB, will be a fan favorite in Loki Season 2 and the MCU as a whole.

OB's inclusion in the cast enhances the expansive realm of the TVA and delves further into its rich history and internal mechanisms.

Having OB around offers an opportunity to delve into the reactions of the TVA's staff upon realizing their status as variants. Additionally, OB can aid Loki in his quest to reunite with his comrades.

Executive producer Kevin Wright praises Ke Huy Quan's new character and expresses his belief that the character will become a fan favorite not only in Loki but also within the MCU. The introduction of the TVA in the previous season of Loki brought significant changes to the agency due to the inquisitive nature of the former Asgardian God of Mischief. This trend is expected to continue in the second season, and the addition of OB to the cast will further delve into the intricacies of the TVA's world.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant about Loki season 2, Wright highlights Ke Huy Quan's contribution to the ensemble. He discusses the fresh dynamics Quan's character brings to the cast and provides insights into how OB's presence expands the TVA's universe and integrates into the agency's inner workings. See Wright's complete statement below:

Kevin Wright: I believe he is on the verge of becoming everyone's new favorite character in the MCU.

However, the truly exciting thing was that... Well, let's just say that stepping into a well-established dynamic like the one Tom and Owen had, along with our entire ensemble, could be quite intimidating for many actors. There was already a fantastic vibe that permeated the set. For Ke and OB, our goal was to further expand the TVA's world and delve deeper into its lore. We wanted to explore the question of who is responsible for keeping everything running amidst all this ancient technology.

There's a captivating fascination in delving deeper into the story of this individual, a man who has spent four centuries confined in a basement, tirelessly toiling away. His idiosyncrasies and eccentricities were always a part of the narrative. What made it truly remarkable was when Ke decided to join us. He truly embraced this project and poured his heart and soul into it, just as Owen has done with Mobius and Tom has famously done with Loki over the past 12 years. Ke managed to make the character his own and infused it with his unique touch, resulting in something truly extraordinary.

How Loki Season 2 Can Build Out The TVA

If OB provides a glimpse into the inner workings of the TVA, it can further expand on the groundwork laid out in the previous season. The first season of Loki shattered the beliefs held by the TVA's inhabitants, particularly when it was revealed that the Time Keepers are actually robots. OB has the potential to showcase the elaborate system that has been meticulously established within the TVA, illustrating how it has flawlessly operated for an extended period.

In the second season of Loki, the focus can shift towards the reaction of the TVA people upon discovering their own variant nature and its implications for the multiverse. OB's assistance could aid the examination of their existing knowledge regarding the TVA while uncovering new truths about this mysterious agency. Additionally, Loki could provide fresh insights following his encounter with He Who Remains.

At the end of Loki's first season, Mobius and Hunter B-15 fail to recognize the main character, indicating that killing He Who Remains may have altered the timeline. Alternatively, the time door that Sylvie kicked Loki through might have led him to an unforeseen location. This is where OB could play a vital role in helping Loki determine his whereabouts and how to reunite with the people he has come to care for.
