Why Ke Huy Quan Will Be "Everyone"s Favorite New MCU Character" After Loki Season 2

Summary

• Ke Huy Quan's new character, OB, will be a fan favorite in Loki Season 2 and the MCU as a whole.
• OB's addition to the cast expands the world of the TVA and delves deeper into its lore and inner workings.
• OB's presence could help explore the reactions of the TVA's personnel to the revelation that they are variants, as well as assist Loki in finding his way back to his allies.

Executive producer Kevin Wright explains how Ke Huy Quan's new character fits into the world of the TVA and why he'll be everyone's new favorite, not just in Loki but in the MCU. Loki first introduced the TVA last season,and the former Asgardian God of Mischief shook up the long-running agency by asking questions and revealing long-hidden truths. It seems this will continue in the second season, and with the addition of OB, the series will further explore the world of the TVA.
In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant for Loki season 2, Wright raved about Ke Huy Quan joining the cast. He discussed bringing a new dynamic to the cast. Wright also explained how his character, OB, builds out the world of the TVA and how he fits into the inner workings of the agency. Check out Wright's full quote below:

Kevin Wright: I've been saying I think he's about to be everyone's favorite new MCU character.
But no, the exciting thing was like ... Look, and I think it would be intimidating for a lot of actors to come in and try to find their footing in a dynamic that was already as strong as what Tom and Owen had and what our whole ensemble had. There was a real just great vibe that already existed. And Ke and OB, I think one, we just wanted to expand out the world of the TVA, dive deeper into the lore of you look around and it's like, "Who is keeping all of this running?" It's all this old tech.
There's something very exciting about just learning more about that, the idea of this guy who's been locked in a basement for 400 years just working away. So he's a little bit eccentric, a little bit of an oddball was always in the script. And I think the great thing was when Ke decided to join us. He really kind of took ownership of this thing and put so much of himself into it the way that Owen has put himself into Mobius and Tom has famously put his heart and soul into Loki for the last 12 years now. He just found a way to make that his own and do his own thing with it in a way that's been awesome.

How Loki Season 2 Can Build Out The TVA If OB shows the inner workings of how the TVA works, the series can further build upon the foundation established in the first season. Loki showed that everything the people of the TVA believed was wrong in the first season, especially when he revealed that the Time Keepers are in fact robots. OB will be able to show the system that has been put in place for the TVA and how it has run flawlessly for so long.
