“It was always our North star,” Loki executive producer and director Kate Herron told EW Friday morning, two days after the chaos-creating finale arrived on the streamer.
Thankfully, no one told them no.
This is it,'” Majors told EW when we spoke to him for an upcoming piece about his Emmy nomination for Lovecraft Country.
“Something that was really fun for me was we hadn’t, for example, cast the voice of the Time Keepers yet, because you know Wizard of Oz was an obvious reference of ours.
The other obstacle they faced was Majors’ availability, because he was working on Netflix’s upcoming western The Harder They Fall in New Mexico when Loki was in production.
“We finished with Loki, Sylvie, and He Who Remains, and it was kind of beautiful in a way because it is also how our story ends.
As He Who Remains, Majors was intimidating, for sure, but he was also charismatic, eccentric, and very funny.
“There’s more smiling in that one performance than there has been in my other performances combined.
For her part, Herron wanted to do everything in her power to give Majors the room to play, experiment, and forget about the schedule, and the actor took full advantage of that and improvised.
“The things that come out that aren’t scripted only come out because the script is the way it is, and the world is what it is,” said Majors.
As of right now, Majors couldn’t say much about how playing He Who Remains affected his performance as Kang in Quantumania, which is currently in production.
