"Loki" was a huge success for Marvel and Disney+ when it was released in 2021. Not many expected to get a second season since it was initially billed as a limited series. However, Season 2 was eventually announced, and with it came a whole new chapter in the character's journey. However, one of the newest characters introduced nearly stole the spotlight from everyone's favorite Asgardian god, and that was his variant, Sylvie, played by Sophia Di Martino. The English actress was kind enough to spend a few minutes with us discussing her role in season 2 and what she hopes for from the character in the future. Please be sure to check out the show, which is now available to stream on Disney+ and is up for your consideration in all eligible Emmy categories. Thank you, and enjoy!
