Loki actor Gugu Mbatha-Raw has revealed what she wants to see next fromRenslayer– if she makes a Marvel return.
“Oh my gosh, there’s so much to explore,” Mbatha-Raw tells GamesRadar+ during an interview for the new Netflix heist movie Lift.
“I feel there’s a lot to explore with her character in terms of her moral ambiguity and making her more of a complex villain. I’m all for complexity,” Mbatha-Raw says.
While there’s no concrete plans for any more appearances from the villainous ex-TVA agent, theLoki season 2 endingoffered up a cliffhanger for Renslayer that could map out where she ends up next.
At the end of the finale, Renslayer finds herself banished to an apocalyptic landscape, flanked by little more than the TVA logo and, curiously, a pyramid.
Next up for Gugu Mbatha-Raw, though, is Lift, a heist action movie that sees Mbatha-Raw’s Interpol agent Abby cross paths with Kevin Hart’s Cyrus and the rest of his motley crew of criminals, tech whizzes, and safecrackers.
