Loki Season 2: Who Plays Wolfe?

Much of the “Loki” Season 2 trailer centers around this old-timey movie premiere and its teases of Zaniac. From the looks of it, the event will be the focal point of at least one episode, as we see Hunter B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku), Mobius (Owen Wilson), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) all in attendance. However, Rafael Casal’s mysterious character may be the most important part.

We see Casal’s character, presumably an actor, a few times in the trailer. But at 1:46, things get interesting. In the shot, eagle-eyed viewers will spot a fan holding a sign on the right-hand side which reads, “Marry me, Brad Wolfe.” The sign is pointing at Casal’s character: This suggests the actor will portray the in-universe actor Brad Wolfe, who’s tied to Zaniac in several ways.

The “Loki” Season 2 trailer seemingly perfectly sets up Zaniac’s origin story (as referenced above), as we see Wolfe exit the theater that’s debuting “Zaniac.” But we also later see Loki confront the actor, which seems to suggest some TVA mischief and timeline bending is afoot.

In Deadline’s report noting Casal joining the “Loki” cast, the outlet said Marvel was keeping his role under wraps. However, the outlet also reported that there’s been online speculation that he’s tied to Zaniac, which seems to be likely.
