Loki Producer Responds to Martin Scorsese’s Claims
Many Marvel stars, including Simu Liu, Mark Ruffalo, and others defended the superhero franchise against the claims of the renowned filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Earlier, the Taxi Driver director claimed that MCU movies are not “cinema.”
Scorsese once again shared his concern regarding such movies and franchises during a recent interview with GQ, saying, “The danger there is what it’s doing to our culture.” The executive producer of Loki, Kevin Wright, responded to his comments in a recent interview with Geeks of Color.
He claimed that Marvel shows and movies hold artistic value and aim to create a connection between their characters and the audience. He also said, “I would challenge anyone watching to say that [this show] is not cinematic, and it’s not built with the highest craftsmanship and care.”
He further claimed that people only want to see good stories, and they would enjoy a show or movie as long as they get one. “If you build something beautiful, [the audience is] going to enjoy it, whether it’s a show like this or an indie film,” he said.
Kevin Wright Talks About a Potential Third Season of Loki
The executive producer of the show, Kevin Wright, talked about a potential third season of Loki. When asked if he has a three or five-season plan for the show, Wright said that they have not planned the entire series from start to finish in one go and are taking it “season by season.” He also claimed that it helped them to follow along with audience feedback and industry changes.
Talking to Deadline, he also explained that season 1 and season 2 are “two chapters of the same book,” and the second season would conclude the story, claiming that the season two finale would not leave the audience with a “cliffhanger.” The producer further said, “There are other stories to be told there, but I think they would be new books, if that’s not too coy,” suggesting that the story can be explored beyond the second season.
