Loki Season 2 Introduces Plot Change Hinting at Recasting Due to Jonathan Majors' Legal Trouble

Recasting plotline suggests Marvel may opt for gender swap for villain character; Renslayer, played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw, could become a variant of Kang, replacing Jonathan Majors' character.

  • Jonathan Majors' character, He Who Remains, in Loki Season 2 may be replaced by Gugu Mbatha-Raw's character, Renslayer. This plot change hinting at a potential gender swap is due to Majors' legal troubles.
  • In a divergence from the comics, Marvel is exploring the idea of making Renslayer a Kang variant, similar to how Sylvie is a Loki variant. This would ensure continuity in the Multiverse Saga even if Majors is found guilty in his pending trial.
  • The episode '1893' sheds light on the backstory of Victor Timely, a variant of He Who Remains. It suggests he was born in the 19th century and has been trying to manifest his futuristic designs since then.
  • Miss Minutes, an AI created by He Who Remains, appears to have developed motivations and ambitions beyond her original programming. She exhibits jealousy towards Renslayer and wishes to become a true partner to a Kang variant.
  • Ravonna Renslayer, after being betrayed by Miss Minutes, is banished to the end of time. The AI reveals she knows a secret about Renslayer, which could potentially alter her loyalty to He Who Remains. The series sets up a possible alliance between Renslayer and Miss Minutes to control the TVA and spite He Who Remains.
