Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Tom Hiddleston said ‘It’s been a journey as Loki S2 finale was the conclusion to 14 years of his life..
Now that the Actors’ Strike is over, Marvel stars can officially talk about their projects, and Loki himself Tom Hiddleston didn’t waste any time. The longtime Marvel star appeared Friday night on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote the second season of Lok as well as the season finale that just aired yesterday. Fallon prodded Hiddleston to open up about the series and tease the season finale now that he can actually speak about it, and the
“If you haven’t seen it, I will not spoil it for you but I will say this, it all comes full circle,” Hiddleston teased about the Loki season 2 finale. “It’s the conclusion of season two. It’s also the conclusion to seasons one and two. It’s also the conclusion to six films and 12 episodes and 14 years of my life. I was 29 when I was cast, I’m 42 now. it’s been a journey. I do think in the finale there are echoes and resonances of every version of Loki that I’ve played. And I think, without spoiling, the episode is called ‘Glorious Purpose.’ If you remember in the first Avengers film, Loki comes down to Earth. Look straight at Sam Jackson.

And that Loki is able to then reflect back to Mobius.”
“In Episode 5, suddenly, the conversations the three of them have had [cause] an effect on the variant Lokis — on Classic Loki, on Kid Loki, on Boastful Loki. I like to think on Alligator Loki, too. Maybe he starts to think about free will.”
“Loki, as a show, has introduced so many complex ideas, and themes, and conversations,” Tom Hiddleston tells Marvel.com. “One of the things I’ve been so pleased and thrilled to see with the show is how deeply the audience is engaged with the big ideas, the ideas of fate versus free will, agency versus determinism. Do we have the capacity to genuinely choose our path through our lives? And in those choices, where do we derive meaning? To what extent are any of us free? To what extent are these characters free to choose their route through the universe and self-realize and determine the course of their lives?”
