Marvel has finally unveiled the first official trailer for Loki season 2 and with it, our first proper glimpse at Ke Huy Quan's new character OB. Since the promo launched, fans have taken to social media to share their joy over the Everything Everywhere All at Once star's introduction – and how excited they are to see more of him in the show.
"OH MY GOD. THE KING HAS RETURNED," one enthusiastic viewer tweeted, while another said: "I want him in more things."
"The King! The Oscar winner! The Multiverse Traveler! Key Huy Quan," a third Twitter user exclaimed.
"I know he has done a multitude of movies since the Goonies and Indiana Jones. But seeing [him] thrive now makes me so happy like seeing an old friend. It is comforting to see him on screen," gushed another.
"Ke Huy Quan. The season hasn't even started yet and already I have a new all time top 5 favourite MCU character," said one more, as another tweeted: "The smile he brought to my face when he was onscreen. I love this man so much."

Following on from the events of the season 1 finale, Loki season 2 sees the titular God of Mischief (Tom Hiddleston) and Mobius try to restore the TVA – or at least bring some balance to the timeline branches Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) created when she killed He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors). First, though, they've got to stop Loki from timeslipping, a byproduct of Sylvie's actions, which is causing him to glitch out at the most inconvenient of moments and reappear in other places and periods.
All of the actors mentioned above are back in their respective roles. They'll share the screen with fellow returning players Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Ravonna Renslayer), Wunmi Mosaku (Hunter B-15), and Eugene Cordero, who will reportedly have a much bigger role in the new chapter.
Synchronic's Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead take over from Kate Herron to direct this time around, while Eric Martin is stepping into Michael Waldron's shoes as head writer.
Loki season 2 premieres on Friday, October 6 on Disney Plus. For more, check out our check out our guides on Marvel Phase 5, Marvel Phase 6, and how to watch the Marvel movies in order.
