Marvel’s Loki has been the strangest chapter of the comic book universe to appear on screen. And that has been what makes it outrageous, daring, fun and unpredictable. The creativity stems from the show’s two pillars of leadership: head writer Michael Waldron and director Kate Herron.
Ahead of the sixth episode and the season finale of Loki, we chatted with Waldron to pick his brain on how the script developed. He fielded questions on Loki’s romantic preferences, what makes a Loki a Loki, fan theories, Easter Eggs and, of course, Alligator Loki. Waldron, who has worked on Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty and HBO’s Heels, also addressed some of his upcoming projects: Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and an unnamed Star Wars film.
Here are 17 questions with Waldron. Some of his answers have been edited for transparency and brevity.
