The actress additionally teases extra backstory for Sylvie, most notably some perception into why Sylvie refuses to be referred to as Loki – though, so far as we at the moment know, she is a model of the God of Mischief.
“We know that Sylvie now goes by a different name, and she has reinvented herself in some ways some reason”, hints Di Martino. “She left that behind. She’s someone else now. It really gets under her skin when [Loki] tries to call her Loki, and we’ll probably find out more about that as the series progresses.”
