‘I don’t even know the doors people are talking about’: ‘Loki’ director burns down those ‘X-Men’ Easter Egg theories and stomps on their ashes

Well, there goes that one.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has always been, currently still is, and will continue to be Loki director Kasra Farahani has flipped the bird at anyone who thought the season 2 premiere was nodding towards the X-Men.

During the first episode’s climactic scene, the key characters are in a Time Variance Authority bunker, with an ominously – and some would say suspiciously – long shot closing in on a door that bears more than a ing resemblance to the entrance to Cerebro underneath the Xavier Mansion in 20th Century Fox’s long-running mutant saga.

Naturally, the internet was immediately awash with speculation about what it could all mean – especially when Kamala Khan has been retconned into a mutant and Kevin Feige has teased more teases could be on the way – but Farahani had no idea what anybody was talking about when confronted on the Phase Zero podcast.

“No, I don’t even know the doors people are talking about. We were looking at subterranean missile bunkers. missile silos, from the Cold War era. There’s some insanely heavy fortified doors in those bunkers and that’s where the doors come from.”

Of course, there’s always a chance the filmmaker is lying as many key MCU creatives are wont to do on occasion, but maybe it was just a big greasy nothingburger that we all fell for hook, line, and sinker. The X-Men are coming, of that there’s no doubt, they just haven’t been winked at in Loki.
