Exclusive: Director Dan DeLeeuw offers a cheeky response to Loki season 2 episode 2's X-Men Easter eggs, including a seeming mutant graffiti tag.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary While audiences eagerly await the superhero team's arrival, director Dan DeLeeuw addresses Loki season 2, episode 2's multiple X-Men Easter eggs. The next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe show sees Tom Hiddleston's eponymous God of Mischief racing to restore order to the TVA as the death of He Who Remains results in new branches threatening the multiverse.
While speaking exclusively with Screen Rant to discuss its premiere, Dan DeLeeuw responded to Loki season 2, episode 2's apparent X-Men Easter eggs. The director credited the nods to the mutant team, including a piece of graffiti saying "All M are brothers", to the show's production designer, Kasra Farahani, and acknowledging that while audiences may be making the connections, "it wasn't really planned.
That's the art department, Kasra, our production designer, is a genius with all the sets, and then in the overall design of the filming, and you can see with the posters in the TVA, if you let the art department run with something, they will just come up with amazing ideas that have a story behind them. But it's something you never would have anticipated showing up on set. It wasn't really planned.
When Will Mutants Finally Arrive In The MCU? The London graffiti isn't the only X-Men Easter egg to appear in Loki season 2, as audiences were quick to point out the blast door for the Temporal Loom operation room.
The question has long been on audiences' minds of when the superhero team will be introduced to the Marvel franchise following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox and the rights reverting to the studio. The MCU has slowly been laying the groundwork for their arrival throughout the years, namely the inclusions of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, albeit with their origins changed.
