Loki episode 1 Easter eggs revealed by director, including nods to Iron Man and The Last of Us
Kate Herron has revealed🍌 some Loki episode 1 Easter eggs

Loki director Kate Herron has re🐠vealed some Easter eggs in episode 1 of the Marvel series.
The first involves the early minutes of the episod▨e, where Loki crash lands into a desert. Herron revealed that this was an intentional callback to the first Iron Man movie, which she explained "felt like a f❀un way to reference the film that started it all and wanted it to represent Loki's new journey ahead." Check out a comparison of the scenes below.
1/2 IRON MAN - imag🦹e stolen from @AliPlumb (cheers!), this was a homage to #ironman, felt like a fun way to reference the film that started it all a꧒nd wanted it to represent Loki’s new journey ahead pic.twitter.com/2AQjYyqJqs
The director also revealed that showing a moment from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Avengers that featured Ashley Johnson, the voice of Ellie in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us, was also a deliberate shoutout: "I'm a massive fan of the [澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog] [Last of Us] games aꦡnd [Critical Role] so yes, I couldn't resist getting in that great moment ﷽with [Ashley Johnson] from in our montage"
1/4 LAST OF US - Filmmaker @Palmer291 asked me thi💙s, I’m a massive fan of the @naughty_dog #lastofus games and @CriticalRole so yes, I couldn’t resist getting in that🦋 great moment with @TheVulcanSalute from #AvengersAssemble in our montage pic.twitter.com/ErNzreqw94
A more unconventional shoutout is one to Wallace and Gromit – specifically a sequence where Gromit drops into his trousers while falling from oꦐne room to another. Loki goes through a similar ordeal in the episodeꦏ, complete with a costume change.
1/3 WALLAC🐼E AND GROMIT - I’ve said a lot of our refs behind the cubes Loki falls through (which was the genius invention and idea of our production designer #kasrafarahani) when h🔥e goes into the #tva but I forgot this key ref //t.co/3M7tbNVq73
Herron a li꧒ne of dialogue from the premiere episode: "Last one is one of [my] favorite lines by [Michael Waldron, head writer], I love it when Loki calls himself a villain, and Mobius says "That's not [how] I see it", really beautiful moment of empathy and a insight into what kind of character Mobius is."
And f🅰inally, that a moment where Mobius brings a doodle of a stick figure to 3D life was Owen Wilson's idea: "Building on the last one and Mobius' empathy, the moment when he draws a stick figure for the kid in the cathedral was a pitch of Owen's, and also revealed to be another fun bit of tech world-building too for the tem pad"
These are far from the only Easter eggs in the premiere episode – a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:might be teasing the MCU debut of the villainous 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kang the Conqueror ahead of his confirmed appearance in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the episode 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:might also have teased Secret Wars with its reference to multiversal war.
