Marvel and Disney+ have now announced that Moon Knight directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead will be taking over for the second season of Loki.
According to Deadline, the two directors will co-direct most of the episodes of the upcoming follow-up to the critically acclaimed first season revolving around the God of Mischief, with original showrunner Michael Waldron pivoting to executive producer. Tom Hiddleston is set to reprise his role as the titular character while Owen Wilson has just confirmed his return as Time Variance Authority agent Mobius as well.
Herron first announced her departure from the franchise back in July last year. “I’m not returning,” she told Deadline at the time. “I always planned to be just on for this, and to be honest, Season 2 wasn’t in the — that’s something that just came out, and I’m so excited. I’m really happy to watch it as a fan next season, but I just think I’m proud of what we did here and I’ve given it my all. I’m working on some other stuff yet to be announced.”
There’s currently no release date yet for the second season of Loki, although Wilson revealed that filming will begin soon, so fans of the MCU should definitely stay tuned for more updates to come.
Elsewhere in entertainment, HBO’s live-action adaptation of The Last of Us will not air in 2022.
