Rocky: Marvel TV hit commentary and director Kate Herron’s views on star Tom Hiddleston

Following the successful transition from MCU to TV, the acclaimed earth-based Wanda Vision with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki effectively resurrected one of his most beloved characters, opening up multiple possibilities.

Keen Marvel fans will remember that Hiddleston’s god of mischief—Australian Chris Hemsworth’s brother of the Thunder God in three Thor movies and three Avengers movies—is in revenge. Alliance of Heroes: In Infinite War, ushered in a noble ending under Thanos, completing his journey from the villain to the protagonist to an unwilling anti-hero.

But in the “Time Robbery” of “Avengers: Endgame”, Loki’s early unreconstructed version accidentally escaped the clutches of the most powerful hero on the planet using the Universe Cube, and the audience was in his first It was this more self-centered character of Machiavelli who was outing alone at the beginning of the ministry.

After escaping directly from his Endgame, Loki was immediately detained by the Time Difference Administration, a mysterious organization that exists to protect the so-called “sacred timeline” so that the incident unfolds more mysteriously in the way they should be instructed. The guardian of time. This version of Loki is an unauthorized “variant”-his existence may create a dangerous alternative reality-so he can choose to be permanently “deleted” or help the agency track a more dangerous variant, who The apocalyptic events that are raging from the Middle Ages to the modern age, and even have yet to come, have severely damaged the timeline of the entire earth.

Owen Wilson analyst Mobius M. Mobius knows that Rocky likes lying and tricks, but he believes that a thief needs a thief to catch a thief, and the interaction between the two because they verbally argue and test each other’s intelligence and determination It’s a pleasure to see.

After playing this role for ten years, Hiddleston has regressed on his character. When he has to face his past-past, present and future-and his death, he is easy to be charmed, Slip between humor, sorrow and threats.

Similarly, Wilson’s simple and laid-back expression complements the slightly tired and obsessed jet ski Mobius. He is fascinated by Rocky’s unpredictable, capricious, and sometimes cruel nature, and at the same time remains vigilant about it. Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Wunmi Musaku also impressed people as suspicious judges and serious agents, respectively.

But where Loki really shines is the world it creates. Marvel head Kevin Feige said that Loki will be very important to the development of MCUs, and it certainly looks like we have never seen it before. When author Michael Waldron (Rick and Morty) and director Kate Herron (Sex Education) conceived the stunning aesthetics of the Time Change Authority, they blended fantasy and the ordinary into stunning effects. Drawing on Herron’s own experience as an office drone, TVA is full of coffee stains, pulling up queues and file carts with ropes, but outside the window is a towering retro future vision, suggesting a world that has just begun to emerge.

If you put Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, and Matthew Weiner’s advertising maniacs in a blender, you will come up with something similar to this unique intoxicating office fashion and administrative chore. Cocktail of things.

With a 6-hour show—the first two episodes alone have a lot of revealing and revelation—Rocky promised more twists and tricks than the show of the same name, and Waldron also wrote the upcoming Doctor Strange The sequel, the next stage of the attractive prospect of having a lasting impact on the MCU.

Everything you need to know about Marvel’s “Rocky”-Director Kate Walden said

What is Loki?

Loki is the third time the Marvel Cinematic Universe has entered the television world after WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It is directed by the rising British star Kate Herron and written by Michael Waldron.

KW: “I will describe this tone as anything that hasn’t been done in the MCU so far. Me and Michael, we both have a comedy background, and Rocky is funny, so this will permeate the show because this is us. But in terms of tone, this show is a crime thriller with epic adventures-so we have a lot of tone, and I think it’s doing something very different and exciting.”

Wait, isn’t Loki dead?

Yes. And no. The audience love-hate Loki died in the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, but when the Avengers tried to assemble the Infinity Gems in the final battle, they inadvertently let the early New York version of Loki Escaped.

KW: “We filmed Loki at a very different moment in his life. He didn’t follow this arc like we have seen in other movies. He just stole Tesseract, and this is what we are in the Avengers. Loki, he is in a very different space.”

Loki has always been a bastard, really a complete psychopath, but in the end he behaved very well-which version is he from?

He has not experienced Thor: The Dark World or Thor: The Twilight of the Gods. He lost his parents and witnessed the destruction of his home world. This is Loki’s arrogant, unreconstructed version. But is he all broken?

KW: “Like many people, I have seen Rocky in movies. I really like villains. I think they can be the most complicated and interesting characters when they do it right. You don’t have to agree with them. But you have to understand them. I think Loki is a real master class in this regard. Obviously, in the past ten years, we have seen him turn from a villain to an anti-hero when I know they are making a show about him At times, I was like’I have to be involved’.”

Is there Hemsworth in it?

Not really. When Rocky examines his own life, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor can be briefly seen as a segment of the movie, but the real definition of the show is that without his brother Thor In the case, who is the god of mischief.

KW: “I think this is really exciting, right? He is coming out of his brother’s shadow, and we will take him on a journey that is entirely his own. Besides, what I think is exciting is any insecurity Feelings are expected to be alleviated by the fact that he has his own show-this is the so-called Rocky.”

No Hemsworth, but Hiddleston is a forward and a center?

Tom Hiddleston originally auditioned for the role of Thor, and since Kenneth Branagh’s first film in 2011, he has now played Rocky for ten years. He is still an authoritative expert in this role, and is said to be an almighty top figure.

KW: “As a director, it is a talent to work with an actor who has played a role for more than ten years. In fact, I asked him to give a Loki lecture to our actors and staff at the beginning of the pre-production. It’s like a TED talk, we got the edit from the movie, and I just told him, “Talk about your experience in the MCU and Loki journey over the past ten years.” I think it’s great because it allows us to The places Loki has been and the places Tom has been are very united, but he also respects what we do, because he is such a beloved character. Tom has endless energy and enthusiasm, and he brings him every day I think it really affects everyone because they think it must meet his standards. He is just a very kind and generous person.”

So, what is it about?

After using the Universe Cube to escape the Avengers, Luo Gene’s crime of violating the sacred timeline was arrested by the Jet Lag Administration, and can choose to cooperate with them or be “deleted” forever.

KW: “The Jet Lag Administration is an organization that controls the normal flow of time. They arrested Loki for violating the sacred timeline. With them, he must work hard to repair the damage he caused.”

But what exactly is it?

Just as WandaVision deals with the aftereffects of trauma and grief, and the Falcons and Winter Soldiers incorporate the issues of terrorism and the African American experience, Rocky examines the concepts of friendship and humanity.

Why can’t we get enough superheroes

KW: “We did build a very interesting friendship between their characters. I want to say that we have friendship and hearts on our sleeves. This show has a lot of emotions, and I think it must be something I brought from the sex education on Netflix. What comes, this is a very deliberate drama, this is something I want to carry over to all my work. I love WandaVision, I love the Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Both of them helped me escape, they Have all the amazing scenes and moments in the Marvel story, but what I like about them is that they are talking about such different things. My favorite genre show or movie, is this what they do right? If you start from the story Get rid of all the bells and whistles, what is it about, what problem does it solve? For me, this is really critical. Taking our show as an example, what I want to talk about is really good people or really bad people, and between The gray area between the two is very important to me.”
