2023 is looking ahead to a brand new season of Marvel’s Loki. With Loki Laufeyson, the Asgardian aka the God of Mischief, being one of the fans' favorite anti-heroes, season 1 received a fair amount of viewership and ended on a cliffhanger that puts the fans in the position of wondering where and how the narrative will play out as they explore more of the multiverse.
One of the show’s stars, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, talked to Entertainment Tonight about what fans can expect in the second season, noting that it gets more exciting as they dive into more daunting and strange parts of the story. “[fans] gonna be in for a real treat because the show is bolder and more surreal. And in many ways, goes to some bigger, bolder places than season 1, which is really exciting.” she teased.
Mbatha-Raw portrays Ravonna Renslayer, the reputable judge in the Time Variance Authority (TVA) who oversees the mischievous case of Loki (Tom Hiddleston). She proves to be a force to be reckoned with in the presence of the Time Keepers themselves while dealing with the cases of Loki and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino). With Ravonna’s powerful presence, fans are anticipating what more she can offer as the story progresses.

In 2021, The Morning Show star detailed to TheWrap the backstory of her character, saying: “She had a military background. She’s worked her way up the ranks to become one of the most powerful women in the TVA. We’ll get to see a little bit of that backstory of her as a hunter. I don’t want to spoil it, but we do get to see her in a different period of her life.”
Mbatha-Raw also once told PopCulture.com that she loves her character, and she can't wait to explore the deepest aspects of complexity and dark places with her. “Oh, my God. You know I can't say anything about Loki,” she said. “The Marvel police will come along and just take me away. But no, I'm excited that it's happening, and I really love my character. I think she's unexpected and complex. And so, I'm excited to go to some deeper, darker places with her as well.”
