Fans of the Marvel collection Loki are excited concerning the new season that kicked off this week. We get to return to the time-traveling storyline of the God of Mischief, in addition to his new pals on the TVA, together with Owen Wilson as Mobius, and Sophia Di Martino as Sylvie, however we additionally get to see some new faces, together with that of beloved Academy Award-winning actor Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once). His character, O.B., works within the basement of the Time Variance Authority, and he’s additionally the hidden brains behind it, which in and of itself sounds a bit just like the younger inventor character Quan performed in The Goonies, Data.
As it seems, Quan’s costume within the collection additionally pays homage to Data. In a current interview with ComicBook, the present’s costume designer, Christine Wada, talked about working with Quan, and stated:
“Oh my god, it’s just like he brings a jumpsuit life to life. And it was really fun because he talked about, well, the first fittings, or maybe it was a phone call, he talked about patches because Data had patches and he was like, ‘What about patches? It’d be so fun.’ And it was really, but then it quickly just became OB. Now just he brings so much, I mean, you could put him in a paper bag and he would bring life to it.”
She went on to say:
“He’s so sweet, but he also is very dedicated and does his homework and really talks about whether, ‘Should this feel a little more vintage?’ I mean, we always wanted it to feel like the ’30s or ’40s, so [his costume] was pulled from a vintage jumpsuit from that era.”
