The Sandman 2: The interpreter of Loki chose
Freddie Fox will play Loki in the Sandman 2. The actor has participated in projects such as Slow Horses, Dr. Who and The Gentlemen of Netflix. He will also soon appear in The Ministry of Urgentlemanly Warfare by Guy Ritchie and, perhaps, in his most awaited role: Ser Gwayne Hightower in the second season of House of the Dragon. The character of Loki will appear, according to the first hypotheses, in the episodes “Season of Mists” and “The Ruler of Hell”, together with Odin, Thor, Anubis and many other deities. Loki’s character is likely to be connected to the Lucifer of Gwendoline Christie.
The Sandman 2: Eurydice, Hades, Persephone and Orpheus also arrive
Among the new characters of the confirmed series there are also several iconic names of Greek mythology such as Euridice, Hades, Persephone as well as Orpheus that we had already seen interpreted by Ruairi O’Connor when the filming of the new season in June began. Orpheus arrives in the comics for the first time in the #29 number in the part of Falbes and Reflections. Orpheus is the son of Morfeo and Calliope and is usually presented with the figure of a body without body.
The introduction of Euridice, Persephone, Hades and Orpheus will not surprise the readers of the comic. These characters play an important role in The Sandman Special #1, “The Song of Orpheus” (1991). History is a reinterpretation of the original myth, perfectly intertwined with Sandman’s Mythos. The second season will treat this story, as well as volume 4, “The season of the mists”, and volume 7, “short lives”.
