Ke Huy Quan Teases OB’s Future in The MCU After Loki Season 2

by

As a movie reviewer with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the return of Ke Huy Quan’s Ouroboros in future Marvel projects is not just wishful thinking but a tantalizing possibility! The charm and wit he brought to Loki Season 2 were infectious, and his character quickly became a fan favorite.

In a recent update, the star of “Loki,” Ke Huy Quan, hinted at his potential comeback as the TVA scientist Ouroboros, or OB. This character was first introduced in season 2 of “Loki.” Known for his eccentricity, OB is responsible for all technical aspects within the TVA, from fixing equipment to writing the agency’s handbook.

In Season 2, Ouroboros proved crucial, assisting Loki with his extraordinary time-jumping predicaments and helping him mend the Sacred Timeline. He ultimately went back to the TVA and reprogrammed Miss Minutes after she had turned against Ravonna Renslayer and gone rogue. Viewers loved this character for the amusement he added to the Disney+ series, and many are eagerly anticipating his potential return in future Marvel productions.

During an interview with ScreenRant about his 2025 action-comedy film “Love Hurts”, Ke Huy Quan hinted at a potential return of OB to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although he doesn’t explicitly confirm any future roles, he also does not rule out the possibility. Here’s what he said:

Wow, I adore that character! He seemed so real to me as I read him in the script, leaping off the page almost like magic. The joy and luck I felt playing him were indescribable. Unfortunately, during the time when our series was released, we couldn’t discuss it much because we were on strike, the actors’ strike. However, once the show aired, the response from viewers was overwhelmingly positive about this character.

Additionally, I recall inquiring from Kevin Feige prior to taking on this role, and I asked, “Will this be a one-off appearance?” To which he replied, “If the audience takes a liking to O.B., we’ll reintroduce him. We always cater to our fans’ preferences.

As a cinephile eagerly waiting, I haven’t received that call just yet, but we’re all in this anticipation together. Crossing my fingers, I wanted to share some exciting news – ‘Love Hurts’ hits theatres a week before Valentine’s Day! This is a perfect Valentine’s movie, filled with laughter and emotions. I’m incredibly proud of this film, and I believe it’s an excellent choice for dates, girlfriends, or friends. So, if you’re looking for something special to enjoy on the big screen, consider supporting ‘Love Hurts’ when it releases. Your patronage would truly mean the world to me.

Could Ke Huy Quan’s OB Really Return to the MCU?

At the end of Loki Season 2, the trickster Loki metamorphosed into the God of Tales, single-handedly supporting the delicate Sacred Timeline. One might think that the TVA’s part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is complete after this, but quite the opposite is true. The team-up between Deadpool and Wolverine served to highlight the significance of the TVA within the MCU, implying that its role will continue to be crucial in future narratives, thereby increasing the likelihood of the return of the Variant Bureau (OB).

Additionally, Marvel is known for bringing back beloved characters, like Wolverine’s recent resurgence and Robert Downey Jr.’s upcoming portrayal of Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday. Moreover, with the expanding multiverse narratives, there are ample chances for these characters to shine once more, especially given TVA’s significant role in the success of Disney+’s Loki.

Essentially, Ouroboros’ tale is far from concluded, ensuring his role in future Marvel projects will undeniably secure him a spot among the most adored characters. Concurrently, fans are thrilled about the impending debuts of other highly anticipated movies and series such as “Captain America: New World Order”, “Thunderbolts”, “Ironheart”, and “Daredevil: Reborn”.
