Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson, Moon Knight directors on what they will bring to Loki Season 2. Moorhead and Benson directed a few episodes of Moon Knight, but they will be directing all the episodes of Loki Season 2. In my humble opinion, Loki was the best Marvel show we have had yet. It’s therefore a tough ask to come in and try and improve on what came before. The directing duo also shared some similarities they see between Moon Knight and Loki when they spoke to ComicBook recently.
“We know that the thing that appeals to us about Loki and Moon Knight specifically, it’s just among the MCU, they feel like outsiders,” Benson said. “And there’s something about that that we really relate with.”
Moorhead and Benson then tease something unexpected from Loki Season 2.
“I think the biggest thing about Loki is just that it’s actually a lot like Moon Knight, where there’s just no reason to do it if it’s not going to be something new and fresh,” Moorhead said. “It’s funny is, it does feel like Marvel would be willing to walk away unless it actually is something that they felt the unexpected. Like from Moon Knight and especially because Moon Knight is a character where nobody knows almost anything about him, yet. Soon to be changed, right? And so our gloves are off and we get to kind of do whatever we want. And everybody at Marvel and ourselves gets really excited when we are presented with the unexpected. We also of course, hope that people watching feel the same way and we’re gonna bring all that to Loki.”

Loki was already so unexpected but given the pliable formula and world building, the second season could really go anywhere. Getting Sylvie and Loki back together, even if only briefly, would make me a happy fan. Other than that I want to be completely surprised again.
