The director of Loki Season 2, Kasra Farahani, has revealed that Jonathan Majors’s Kang version in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series, Victor Timely, was inspired by a significant historical character. Farahani discussed the history of Victor Timely in an interview, as well as the person Majors took inspiration from for the role in the second season of Loki.According to Farahani, he and Majors drew inspiration from the real-life inventor Granville Woods and drew comparisons between the first African-American mechanical and electrical engineer after the Civil War.Jonathan and I also discussed Granville Woods, a historical man who is kind of an eerie mirror image of Timely, according to Farahani.He was a Black inventor who created several inventions and was continually the target of attempts to steal his patents and claim ownership of them, including Edison, who lost both of his court cases trying to do so. He lived almost exactly during Timely’s lifetime. Thus, that existed.” In Episode 3, 1893 of Loki Season 2, Victor makes his appearance as a cunning but cunning 19th-century inventor who connives to raise money for his numerous inventions.The second Kang variation, He Who Remains, personally selected Victor to create the Time Variance Authority (TVA). Victor goes under a masquerade to attempt to carry out his orders while engaging with Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Mobius (Owen Wilson), and Ravonna Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw).For Victor to be genuine, Farahani felt it was crucial to portray Woods’ characteristics.We felt it was important to include that element since, as he stated, a person like this would be dealing with such difficulties in this particular historical juncture.Weeks before Season 2’s launch, Majors was announced to appear in over half of the episodes.
Majors debuted in the first season of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as He Who Remains in Loki. Subsequently, he played the role of Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, garnering praise from both reviewers and viewers for his portrayal of the formidable antagonist. Majors’ evil persona will play a major role in the MCU’s future, since Kang will be the main focus of the upcoming two Avengers films, Secret Wars and The Kang Dynasty. Farahani spoke about Majors’ legal issues in a different interview with Variety. These issues included repeated accusations of abuse and harassment as well as assault and harassment following a rumoured domestic dispute in New York earlier this May. Farahani acknowledged Majors’ professionalism and the ideas he contributed to the development of Loki Season 2, but he was unable to address the accusations. After a sluggish beginning, Loki Season 2 has gained popularity among reviewers and viewers, earning an 87% critical rating and an 89% audience score at the halfway point of the season. Marvel President Kevin Feige has stated that there isn’t a cliffhanger at the end of Season 2, however producers of Loki have publicly discussed the prospect of a Season 3.
