Gugu Mbatha-Raw on ‘Loki’ and How Time Works In the TVA

With director Kate Herron’s Loki now streaming on Disney , I recently spoke with Gugu Mbatha-Raw about playing Ravonna Renslayer in the fantastic Marvel series. Loki takes place after the God of Mischief (Tom Hiddleston) has stolen the Tesseract (again) due to the events of Avengers: Endgame, and an alternate version of the character is brought to the mysterious Time Variance Authority to give him a choice: either be erased from existence, or help fix the timeline. In addition to Hiddleston, the show co-stars Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius, Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15, Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant, Sasha Lane, and Erika Coleman. During the interview, Gugu Mbatha-Raw talked about getting to play a character she’s never played before, how she was asked to join the MCU, what surprised her about making a Marvel series, how time is different in the TVA, and she also talks about Ravonna Renslayer’s age. Finally, I was able to watch the first two episodes of Loki before doing interviews and
