Owen Wilson reveals about
his character in Loki Season 2
Hollywood actor Owen Wilson spoke about his character of Mobius in Loki Season 2. Talking about Mobius coming to terms with a new reality, Wilson said: “Mobius is afraid to find out what his real life might have been because what if it’s something that was so heartbreakingly good that it makes it hard to continue with the life that he’s living in the TVA.” Adding further, he said: “Everybody can feel that a little bit in their life, to sort of be peering down the road not taken and wondering what if.” “There are some people who really want to go down that road and there are other people who don’t even want to give it a second glance. It’s an issue for Mobius to resolve in Season 2.” Executive producer Kevin R. Wright once again revives fan-favourite character Loki, portrayed by Tom Hiddleston. Loki Season 2 will air on Disney+ Hotstar. (IANS)
