Disney+Hotstar welcomes Owen Wilson to MCU ahead of Loki's release

Today, Disney+ Hotstar Premium debuted Owen Wilson Joins the MCU, a new featurette for Marvel Studios’ Loki on Disney+Hotstar's official YouTube channel, celebrating actor Owen Wilson who will be seen playing the character of Mobius in the upcoming Marvel series.

The fun-filled featurette saw Owen talk about his excitement and experiences on playing a part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time. Commenting about his experience while working with Tom Hiddleston, he said, “This is the first time for me in the Marvel Universe. Tom would take us through the world and different movies. It was just amazing and we called them the Loki lectures. I just ended up writing some of the stuff he said. I think some of it even worked its way in the dialogues.”

Tom Hiddleston also expressed his gratitude for working on the series, "I was full of enthusiasm and passion." Expressing his excitement on joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wilson said, "I really like the whole look. The sets, and the costumes, let that do the heavy lifting (laughs)."

For the unversed, Marvel Studios upcoming Disney+Hotstar series Loki features the God of Mischief as he steps out of his brother’s shadow in a new series that takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Tom Hiddleston returns as the title character, joined by Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant. Kate Herron has directed the series and Michael Waldron is the head writer.

The show is set to premiere on Disney+Hotstar on June 9. It will be available in English, Hindi, Telugu and Tamil.
