WHAT THIS MEANS
It remains to be seen what role will Grant play in the upcoming MCU project, but it’s reassuring to see the actor being proud of his inclusion in the show. Grant’s latest remarks indicate that he could potentially be featured in a scene with Hiddleston, especially after expressing delight in terms of finally working with the latter.

Based on
the previous report from
Variety
, it was revealed that Grant will only appear in a
“single episode”
for the series, and it’s a safe bet that his character could prove to be vital to the MCU in general. Adding a versatile actor like Grant is a significant undertaking, and this could mean that his character could easily jump to the movies. Given that Grant played villainous roles in past films like
Logan
and
The Rise of Skywalker
, there’s a chance that he will play a similar role in
Loki
and other future MCU projects.
Whatever the case, seeing Grant and Hiddleston in a scene together is already a win-win situation for many fans, and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out in
Loki
.
