Loki director Kate Herron responds to the show being the most-watched MCU Disney+ series to date. The TV show became the franchise's third to hit Disney+ when it premiered in June 2021, and was well-received by both critics and fans. When Loki season 2 was confirmed in the season 1 finale, it became the first to be established as more than a miniseries.
To a certain extent, Loki was always going to be a successful venture for Marvel Studios, simply by virtue of centering on Tom Hiddleston's fan-favorite antihero, but the series had a couple key things break in its favor. WandaVision proved an enormous success for the MCU Disney+ expansion as the first show out the gate, convincing many fans of the feature films that a subscription to the streaming service would be well worth their time.
This show is the hard work of so many brilliant people. Thank you to all who watched and everyone who was a part of it 💚💚💚 https://t.co/CtmXyxFEDO Marvel fans are lucky they showed up in record numbers to watch Loki season 1, because it arguably proved the most important Disney+ show to the larger MCU Phase 4 storyline.
Though rumors that Loki and Sylvie would appear in Doctor Strange 2 ended up not coming true, they clearly influenced its storyline, and their impact will continue when Majors' Kang makes his planned appearance in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Feige also revealed during upfronts that Loki season 2 filming starts in the next few weeks, with the entire cast returning, so fans won't have that long to wait until those characters are back on their screens.
