[ad_1]

The former Hunter and top Time Variance Authority judge will be returning for Season 2 of Loki on Disney+, according to Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw has confirmed she will return as Time Variance Authority judge Ravonna Renslayer for the second season of Marvel Studios’ Disney+ streaming series Loki.

As reported by Murphy’s Multiverse, the former Hunter-turned-respected-top-TVA-judge Renslayer will again be featured in the upcoming season. “I know there is a season two,” Mbatha-Raw said in an interview with Michael Strahan on Good Morning America,” I know that I’m in it… and that’s about all I can say!”

In the season finale of Season 1, Renslayer is last seen leaving on a mission to find “free will” after Miss Minutes reveals information from He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors). Given that a variant of the TVA’s founder will appear as Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and that Renslayer becomes his lover in the Marvel Comics, there’s a lot of potential storylines for the character in a new season of the time/reality-bending show.


Loki is the first live-action Marvel show streaming on Disney+ to receive a second season order and filming is rumored begin much earlier than originally expected. In August of 2021, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said he was “not sure exactly where it falls between next year and the year after,” when addressing when production would begin in full. Now, it’s been reported that cameras are set to roll on Season 2 of Loki this coming summer.

News on the rest of the returning cast has yet to drop, but it’s safe to assume that stars Tom Hiddleston and Sophia Di Martino will reprise their roles as Loki and his variant Sylvie, respectively. With Renslayer back in the mix and all those branching timelines created by the death of He Who Remains, there’s room as well for Wunmi Mosaku’s Hunter B-15 to also return along with potentially more Loki variants, either established or new.


With the Multiverse that Loki fully introduced now in full swing thanks to Spider-Man: No Way Home and another installment of it coming up with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it makes sense that another season would be rushed along. The third Ant-Man film is slated for a July 28, 2023 release, so where Season 2 of Loki will land, and how the streaming shows integrate into the films of the MCU, remains to be seen.
