'Loki' showrunner talks 'selfcest,' curbing fan expectations, and how close we were to seeing Tom Hiddleston's character having sex with an alien

  • Michael Waldron explained how the "Loki" finale was figured out once a season two was confirmed.
  • He also said Loki having sex in episode one was "briefly an idea" they had.
  • He admitted he wasn't thinking about "selfcest" when writing the love-story angle of the show.

With the popularity of the first season of the Disney+ series "Loki," the series' showrunner and head writer Michael Waldron has become the latest star in the Marvel Studios' creative pool of talent.

Along with successfully delivering a layered arc to the God of Mischief over a six-episode season (with another on the horizon), he's also the screenwriter behind the upcoming MCU release "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" (and will write the pending "Star Wars" movie being produced by Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige).

Waldron took a break from his busy schedule to look back on the first season of "Loki" with Insider and answer some of our most burning questions - like his thoughts on "selfcest," the challenges of fulfilling fan expectations, and how close we were to getting Loki sex.
