Gugu Mbatha-Raw dropped by SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show” to discuss her new Apple TV+ drama “Surface”, and during the conversation she dropped a few hints about the upcoming second season of “Loki”.

Mbatha-Raw, who plays Ravonna Renslayer in the Disney+ Marvel series, commented on the intense level of secrecy required when working with Marvel. “They make you sign an NDA, you know, before you get any scripts or any material, but it was a really special one to work on, I think, because it was so highly anticipated,” she said.

I mean, the anticipation and the excitement from the fans is really what makes it worth it.” She also admitted she utilized “Loki” star Tom Hiddleston’s deep knowledge of the role he’s played since 2012’s “Avengers”. “You know, it’s like kind of having an encyclopedia of Marvel at your fingertips, you know, with Tom Hiddleston because he really is so deeply enmeshed in that world, so yeah, I’m not gonna lie, I’m still learning,” she shared.
