Loki Writer Says Marvel Blocked His Planned X-Men Mojoverse Cameo in The Void

Michael Waldron’s AMA disclosure underscores how Marvel balances creator latitude with long-term plans for integrating X-Men elements.

Overview

  • Waldron said in a Reddit AMA that he wrote a deleted Void scene featuring the Mojoverse but was given a hard no by Marvel Studios.
  • He described the MCU as largely permissive creatively, calling Loki unusually weird and noting this was one of the few outright rejections he encountered.
  • Reports suggest the decision likely related to rights or timing around X-Men integration, though Marvel has not provided an official reason.
  • The Mojoverse, ruled by the media-obsessed villain Mojo and home to Longshot, has appeared in animation including X-Men ’97.
  • The Void was introduced in Loki as a dumping ground for pruned timelines and was later revisited on-screen, and reporters expect Loki and the TVA to feature in Avengers: Doomsday, which Waldron is writing.
