Wilson stars as Mobius M. Mobius in the television series. He stars alongside Tom Hiddleston, who takes on the title role, Sophia Di Martino, Jonathan Majors, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Tara Strong and Sasha Lane.

During the interview with the outlet, Wilson stopped himself from answering certain questions since he’s been “scolded” by Marvel.

“Well, I do think that… you know, we’ll see what happens with this one,” he said. “I immediately get kind of self-conscious because they’re so kind of uptight.”

“Basically, at the time, they were looking for less well-established actors, so that the audience didn’t have an association,” the Broadway star told the late-night TV host.

“They just wanted people to see these new characters, these new actors and the remit was, if you’re over 6 foot and you’ve got blonde hair, you can come have a pop at it,” he said. “So… I never auditioned for Loki. I only auditioned for Thor, which is nuts.”

Hiddleston spoke with Fallon before the first season of “Loki” was released and said, “It is amazing. I never expected it.”

He continued: “You know, I auditioned for the first ‘Thor’ film 10 years ago, in 2009, and I just thought I was auditioning or a movie, you know? An interesting part. An interesting movie.”

“Back then, the Marvel Universe was only… they’d just made ‘Iron Man’ and I thought, ‘I’ll have a go.’ I didn’t expect to be cast at all, so I’ve got my own show,” he added. “So exciting. We go into production next year, and that’s about as much as I can tell you.”
