Ke Huy Quan's Breakout Role: OB's Impact on Loki Season 2
Ke Huy Quan totally blew us away in Loki season 2 as Ouroboros (aka OB)! This genius TVA scientist is the mastermind behind the TVA Guidebook, this thing that's basically a instruction manual for keeping the entire universe running! OB's crucial in helping Loki deal with time-travel abilities; transforming Loki from mischievous God to the seriously awesome God of Stories; making this entire transformation incredibly impactful. He also reprogrammedMiss Minutesbefore happily going back to work!
But after such a critically impactful role, it makes fans ask a question: Is OB done with theMCU? Or will he reappear? Well, we have a direct answer from the man himself. Quan chatted with us and provided those crucial hints.
Ke Huy Quan's Exclusive Reveal About OB's Future
We talked withQuanabout his new action-comedy,Love Hurts(dropping a week before Valentine’s Day!). When he was asked concerning that question: Will we see OB again? He mentioned how much he loves playing OB. Quan doesn’t actually say yes or no. But the hint was extremely good – "If the audience loves O.B., we’ll bring him back," saidKevin Feigeaccording to Quan! So here is the main take away; this is completely up to audience reception – the only thing that will matter, apparently. He says that “we couldn’t really promoteLoki because of that actor’s strike." Meaning that OB’s potential wasn’t seen nearly as well as it possibly could've!
Why OB's Return Is So Likely (Despite Those MCU Hurdles)
MCUcharacters almost always return; no matter what’s happened earlier, or however those characters seemed to die in those prior installments – it's something common in this particular series. It even gets wilder when we note the most recent trends in bringing beloved characters back.Hugh Jackman's Wolverinereturned inDeadpool and Wolverine, after a seeming exit; so too isRobert Downey Jr's Doctor Doom in the comingAvengers: Doomsday. Both actors are incredibly powerful and loved within this community – so getting either would require additional efforts that might only work when fans voice their wishes.
And those successes further emphasize just whyOB’s comeback seems very plausible! The fans loveOB; the actor clearly does.Feigehimself gave the assurance that he’ll come back.He wasn't just this random cameo. His role has immense importance concerning many MCU plots; which has tremendous significance concerning all the related themes – demonstrating this extremely deep integration.So, given all that; and knowing exactly how these things usually play out in MCU; it sounds incredibly likely that OBreturns; maybe surprisingly quickly, actually.
OB vs. Kang: The Other Loki Characters' Fates
Considering the fates of other characters in Loki season 2,OB’sreturn seems extremely possible! We had some huge figures involved with Loki – like Jonathan Majors' He Who Remains; or his other appearances such as Victor Timely!Unfortunately,Majors'legal problems removed these versions of Kang, which means there is this huge opportunity; meaning it's likely this opening would greatly allow and boost OB's chances!
We also know whereSylvie LaufeydottirandMobius M. Mobiusare – their plot lines essentially completed; creating strong character growth and resolution to earlier plots. OB’sstory, however, only just began.
