The MCU’s Loki has instantly become Disney+’s hit TV show as it focuses on Loki and his time-traveling adventures outside of the main timeline. The first episode left a strong and positive impression, and now fans cannot wait to see what else unfolds in this time traveling extravaganza.
While the show has proven itself to have humor and emotional depth, it has also introduced some intriguing characters, and fans want to know more about them. Of course, some of the actors playing them look oddly familiar. Perhaps, a bit of a refresher can help viewers pinpoint where they have seen the cast before, especially in some popular franchises and projects.
7 Tara Strong (Miss Minutes)
Tara Strong voices TVA’s mascot, Miss Minutes. She has an important job explaining what Nexus is, how it impacts the multiverse, and how the Time Variance Authority (TVA) came to be. Of course, viewers love Miss Minutes, given her cute but creepy appearance.
Strong is one of the most popular voice actors in both movies and television. Some of her most popular characters include Timmy Turner in The Fairly Oddparents, Dill Pickles in Rugrats, and Bubbles in The Powerpuff Girls.
6 Eugene Cordero (Casey)
Eugene Cordero portrays Casey, a TVA receptionist, and became the lucky person to cross paths with Loki. He happened to possess duplicates of the Infinity Stones and handed an unusable Tesseract to Loki. It remains unclear how prominent Casey will be in the show, but fans hope he has more screen time.
While Cordero’s role as Casey might be his biggest to date, he has also featured in many major movies and TV shows like The Mule, Silicon Valley, The Good Place, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. He also had small roles in Kong: Skull Island (with co-star Tom Hiddleston) and The Mandalorian.
5 Sasha Lane (Hunter C-20)
Sasha Lane plays one of the TVA hunters, Hunter C-20. Although she has not appeared in the series yet, she has featured in the trailers and may have a prominent role.
While viewers wait for Lane to make her on-screen appearance, many people may be familiar with Lane’s work. She appeared in drama movies like The Miseducation of Cameron Post and Hearts Beat Loud. Of course, her breakout role was Star in American Honey, and she showcased a phenomenal and strong performance.
4 Wunmi Mosaku (Hunter B-15)
Wunmi Mosaku plays a TVA hunter, simply by Hunter B-15. She is the one who caught the Loki variant after he escaped his sacred timeline and has reservations about him due to this mischievous and delinquent nature.
Mosaku had a leading role as Rial in Netflix’s critically acclaimed movie, His House. However, her most prominent role was Leti’s half-sister, Ruby Baptiste, in Lovecraft Country, and she received universal praises for her portrayal. Furthermore, Mosaku also appeared in series like The End of the F***ing World as Teri Darego and Black Mirror‘s “Playtest” as Katie, the person conducting the demo test for new technology. She also had a small role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as Kahina Ziri, a witness who falsely testifies against Superman.
3 Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Ravonna Renslayer)
British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw portrays Ravonna Renslayer, the TVA judge assigned to Loki variant’s case. While conducting Loki’s trial, she shared some of the things that were supposed to happen in the main timeline, including the Avengers’ time heist. Although she initially gave a guilty verdict to Loki’s charges, she eventually allowed Mobius to take Loki in hopes of stopping another, more troublesome Loki variant.
Mbatha-Raw’s breakthrough role was Dido Elizabeth Belle in Belle and received praise for her portrayal. She starred in A Wrinkle in Time as Kate Murry and Motherless Brooklyn as Laura Rose. She also had a main role in The Morning Show as Hannah Shoenfeld, the head booker. However, Mbatha-Raw received critical acclaim for her performance in one of the best episodes of Black Mirror, “San Junipero.”
2 Owen Wilson (Mobius M. Mobius)
Owen Wilson plays Mobius, a TVA agent. Unlike most people at TVA, he is less harsh and more easygoing with the Loki variant and hopes to recruit him on his team to capture a malicious Loki variant.
Wilson has been in the film industry for over two decades and featured primarily in comedy movies. He starred in many Wes Anderson movies like The Royal Tenenbaums, The Darjeeling Limited, and The Grand Budapest Hotel. He also appeared in many films with Ben Stiller, like Zoolander, Starsky & Hutch, and Night at the Museum. His voice is also quite recognizable as Lightning McQueen in the Cars series. Wilson received a ton of praise for portraying Gil Pender in Midnight in Paris and was nominated at the Golden Globes. Of course, it is also worth mentioning his running gag of saying “Wow” in his movies, which has become a meme.
1 Tom Hiddleston (Loki)
No one can imagine anyone else who could play Loki with such charisma, deviousness, and heart as Tom Hiddleston. Of course, Hiddleston portrays a slightly different Loki that has escaped his original timeline and encountered the TVA. The God of Mischief has been Hiddleston’s most popular role, and fans are just happy to see him return as Loki.
Of course, Hiddleston has starred in many major movies and acclaimed TV shows. Hiddleston portrayed many real-life figures like F. Scott Fitzgerald in Midnight in Paris, Hank Williams in I Saw the Light, and Henry V in Henry V. He also had leading roles in Crimson Peak, High Rise, and Kong: Skull Island. However, Hiddleston showcased his best performance as Jonathan Pine in The Night Manager, in which he won a Golden Globe for Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film.
