As Owen Wilson has learned, being a superhero requires more than just wearing a costume and keeping your identity concealed; it also requires working for one of the world’s largest film companies, which comes with its own set of benefits and limitations. Recently, Wilson joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with his role as Mobius M. Mobius in the film Loki. Since joining Marvel, Wilson has apparently clashed with studio executives about the need for secrecy.
In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, the actor refused to give any specifics about the upcoming second season of Loki. Yes, that’s what we’re up to. I agree, Tom [Hiddleston] is fantastic,” he remarked. We’re in London right now filming the movie “Loki.” Wilson seemed to have learnt his lesson about keeping his mouth shut when playing the role of The Guard in Paramount+’s Secret Headquarters. The actor was able to refrain from disclosing too much about the show when questioned about it. We’ll see what happens with this one,” Wilson remarked. “Well, I do think that.” They make me feel awkward right away because of how prim and proper they are.
The actor said, “Yes,” when asked if he had ever gotten in trouble for talking too openly about his time at the studio. Sure, a number of times. A number of Marvel stars, Wilson included, have been in trouble with the company for leaking information about forthcoming films. Pioneers in this field include Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo. At the screening of Thor: Ragnarok, Ruffalo, who plays Hulk in the MCU, mistakenly live-streamed segments of the film on Instagram after forgetting to switch off his camera. The fact that he accidentally revealed that everyone dies at the end of Avengers: Infinity War also earned him the wrath of the studio heads.
However, Wilson did tell Esquire magazine last year that he was penalised for revealing the spoiler that the moustache he wore at the time was for his character on the Disney+ series. The responses to the transgressions of Holland and Ruffalo have been kept under wraps by Marvel. Wilson appears to be familiar with Marvel’s spoiler policy due to past warnings. Following his disclosure last year, the actor stated that he received a threatening text that read, “Strike 1,” with no more identification.
No one seems to know how many strikes actors who work for Marvel have, but that probably is for the best. The streaming device may access Paramount+ and Wilson’s Secret Headquarters. The Emmy-nominated series Loki won’t be back until sometime in 2019.
