![]() ![]() And as a fan, I was like, I need to know where Loki has gone. But I love sci-fi and I love Marvel, and I wanted to do genre so badly and I love Loki, and I just knew they were making a show about the character. And I’d worked on a show called “Sex Education,” which I loved. So basically I found out that they were making Loki. How did the show come your way? Had you met with Marvel before the series was announced? Did they approach you? Loved the drama, loved t he aesthetic so much. The Playlist: I thought that the six episodes that you did for “Loki” were stunningly directed. During our conversation last month, Herron discussed Jonathan Majors‘ improvisational acting technique as He Who Remains, convincing Wilson to come on board, and how, despite her not coming back for season 2, “Loki” has “changed her life.” The result was the most distinctive and popular Marvel Series so far. But I just really went for it with the pitch basically.” And I remember Kevin Feige was like, ‘Oh, I hadn’t thought about it like that before.’ And I remember that really drew them in. It’s like, who is the variant of me is the first part, and then who is the man behind the curtain becomes the second part. “And we could give it this film noir look across the whole show because the whole thing’s a giant mystery. “I was like, why don’t we just go full noir with this? Because she’s in the shadows like this is how I’m imagining it,” Herron says. That prompted a pitch that Feige wasn’t expecting. Moreover, Loki and Mobius ( Owen Wilson) had a detective series vibe going on. Herron says when she got the first two scripts she realized that Sophia Di Martino’s character, Sylvie, a Loki variant, was always attacking from the shadows. And just how, at least my interpretation of the story would be.” But also more importantly to me, I love Sci-Fi, and this is why I can deliver on setting up the TVA, and how I think the other parts in the show should look. And this is why I love ‘Loki’ and why I want to see what happens with their story. So Why not just go for it?’ So, character for me is really important, and stories with hope and heart. And I just basically prepared a pitch because I was like, ‘They’re probably amazed I’m in the room. So my agents called them and were like, can you meet her? And then they were like, ‘O.K., we’ll meet her.’ And then honestly, I think I was told it was a friendly chat and I’d been sent the first script. So even just as a curious question, maybe I’ll just get a little sneak peek on to what they’re going to do. “And as a fan, I was like, I need to know where Loki has gone. “I love sci-fi and I love Marvel, and I wanted to do genre so badly and I love Loki, and I just knew they were making a show about the character,” Herron recalls. In fact, she jokingly says she “stalked Marvel” for the gig. Certainly made me feel very safe, but made everybody feel safe to take a big swing at stuff.”Īt first, Herron wasn’t in the mix as Marvel looked for a filmmaker to direct the Michael Waldron-written series. And there was something about, as you say, her humility and her kindness, which created an atmosphere for people to throw their whole souls at what they were doing. She has a big heart and wanted the show to have a big heart and a great sense of humor and is incredibly kind. And so she had her own artistic fingerprint and her own love of Sci-Fi and her own particular inclinations as an artist. But her imagination, her references were so inspiring as well. “She’s prepared, she’s precise, and she just knows she can work and work and work and work and think and plan. “The thing that makes Kate extraordinary is she has this genuinely incredible stamina for the work,” Hiddleston says. And, most importantly, she impressed the series’ star, Tom Hiddleston, who has been playing the role for over a decade. It’s not a traditional jump, but the British native’s cinematic eye is apparent in both projects. In one of the best creative decisions Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has ever made, Herron went from directing episodes of the critically acclaimed Netflix series “Sex Education,” to executive producing and directing all six episodes of the breakout Disney+ series.
