In “Loki” Season 1, the title character, played by Tom Hiddleston, set out to find the masterminds behind the Time Variance Authority (TVA) and in the series finale, he encountered a mysterious man known as “The One Who Stays” (Jonathan majors). Although he is killed in the finale, a much more famous, powerful and ruthless variant of “The One Who Lives” takes control of the TVA: Kang.
This is revealed by the footage Loki discovers after returning to TVA HQ. So Kang isn’t just the villain of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “Avengers 5: The Kang Dynasty“, but also the opponent of the second season “Loki”? That would make sense after the first season, but apparently it’s not that simple…

Because like the US industry magazine revealed, becomes a “Game Of Thrones” star Kate Dickie (known as Lysa Arryn) will play a villain in Loki Season 2. This information is supplemented by insiders who is usually very well informed and on Twitter writes that Dickie is not just playing a villain, but actually the main villain of Season 2.
According to reports and first published clips from Episode 2, Kang will still be in “Loki” Season 2, but apparently not as the main villain. It is unclear how big his role will be. But this article is supposed to be about Kate Dickie’s character anyway – and I think she’s pretty interesting.
The usually also very knowledgeable site reports that Kate Dickie is playing an older version of Sylvie. The main villain of “Loki” season 2 is said to be an older, female version of Loki himself (Sylvie is a variant of Loki, after all).
Was in season 1 Sophia Di Martino as Sylvie Rundeydottir on board and Di Martino will reprise this role in Season 2. In addition, we apparently also see an older Sylvie, who has finally become a villain. Considering that her murder of “The One Who Lives” at the end of Season 1 already unleashed Kang and the Marvel Multiverse, this development only makes sense.
So while we reiterate that for now, we’re willing to give credence to reports of Dickie’s character’s identity and her important role. We’ll find out if Dickie really plays an older Sylvie and her character is the main villain of the season in mid-2023 when “Loki” Season 2 kicks off on Disney+.
