Loki Season 2 Is the Directorial Debut for Avengers: Endgame Filmmaker

Dan Deleeuw worked on multiple MCU films before helming Loki.

The first season of Loki was released on Disney+ back in 2021, and the entire season was helmed by Kate Herron. Now, Loki is finally back for its second season, but this time it has various directors. The first episode, "Ouroboros," was helmed by Moon Knight directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. The second episode, "Breaking Brad," hit Disney+ last night and marked the directorial debut of Dan Deleeuw.

Deleeuw is a VFX supervisor who worked on the effects for Iron Man 3, Captain America: The Winter Solider, Captain America Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and the first season of Loki. He also served as the second unit director on Avengers: Endgame and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. On Friday, Deleeuw will be chatting with ComicBook.com's Phase Zero podcast about his directorial debut.

Loki Costume Designer Talks Working With New Directors:

This month, ComicBook.com had the chance to chat with costume designer Christine Wada about her creations, and she revealed what it was like working with new directors for Season 2.

"I just feel like this team, even with the different directors who are so respectful of what was built in Season One, and just so collaborative, that it didn't really change it," Wada shared of her Season 2 experience. "And I think that the vision has always been really solid, and [producer] Kevin Wright has always had this incredible big-picture mind for it, and then Tom [Hiddleston] as well. So it just worked. They seamlessly folded in."

What Is Loki Season 2 About?

Marvel Studios fan-favorite Tom Hiddleston stars in Loki Season 2, returning as the titular God of Mischief for another round of time-traveling hijinx on Disney+ on October 6th. Loki is once again joined by Mobius (Owen Wilson) as the two attempt to keep the timelines intact. After the events of Season 1 saw his variant Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) kill He Who Remains and unleash the wrath of Kang the Conqueror upon the Multiverse, Loki must once again embark on an adventure to keep reality from collapsing. Loki was last seen in the post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, where he and Mobius were keeping tabs on one of Kang's mysterious variants. Loki Season 2 will continue the story of the Multiverse Saga in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Stay tuned for more updates about Loki.
