Loki season 2has brought thetime-slippingGod of Mischief back to our screens – and hidden an X-Men Easter egg in plain sight.
Look closely when the crew are about to head outside to try and fix Loki’s time-hopping issue, and you’ll see the doors to theTVAlook suspiciously like the doors found in the X-Mansion. They even open the same way… and of course, there’s that distinctive “X.”
While this could be an Easter egg teasing the imminent arrival of the X-Men to the MCU, it could also be tied to season 2 star Ke Huy Quan, who worked on the first X-Men movie as an assistant fight choreographer and translator. Quan plays O.B. in Loki season 2 – and has alreadyproved to be quite the fan favorite.
There’s no word yet on when the mutant team will be making their MCU debut, but mutants themselves have been teased more than once –Ms. Marvelended with the reveal that Kamala Khan possesses a genetic mutation, whileNamorcalled himself a mutant inBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever.
