Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Loki season 2, episode 1The Loki season 2 premiere introduces a new character that will undoubtedly play a key role throughout the season - and might well also set up the future of the MCU. Played by Academy Award-winning actor Ke Huy Quan, Ouroboros is introduced in the Loki season 2 cast as the head of the TVA’s Repairs and Advancement department. The fact that O.B. seems to be the only employee of the TVA who hasn’t had their memory wiped already establishes him as someone to watch out for, and the fact that he wrote the TVA guidebook means he knows the ins and outs of the TVA better than anyone.
Besides the fact that O.B.’s character is clearly essential to the TVA, the whole meaning behind his character could actually be Loki season 2 hinting at the greater future of the MCU, in the same way Loki season 1 ending unveiled much about the franchise's multiverse. Ouroboros’ name is obviously a reference to the ancient Greek symbol of a snake eating its own tail, often a symbol for the cycle of life, death, and rebirth - which may be a nod to a possible future MCU plot point.
