The fans clearly did not have a good reaction knowing this extravaganza of a budget. Taking to Twitter, fans expressed their concern for the writers and stated that this much amount of money would not probably go to the writers.
Its Marvel, 2 weeks before release, they gonna reshoot 75% of it and blow up the budget.

I don’t know where all these money spend on because CW show looks better than this.

And just to put things in a little bit of perspective, the 2017 Patty Jenkins-directed movieWonder Womanwas made with a budget of $120-150 million. AlthoughLoki Season 2will be amazingly iconic like its predecessor, the budget doesn’t seem to make sense as Marvel Studios and Disney+ seem to be burning cash for their projects.

Loki Season 2Will Bring Back Iconic Phase 3 Villain!

Fans might remember that inDoctor Strangeback in 2016, the iconic villain Dormammu showed his presence. Well, Dormammu probably would not return but his will might be done with the help of Zaniac.
If the comic books are to be followed, Zaniac could very well be one of the villains ofLokiSeason 2(alongside Kang the Conqueror) and he is essentially a vessel for Dormammu to do his bidding. Although it hasn’t been confirmed, a return of Dormammu andTom Hiddleston‘s Loki fighting against both the villains would surely mark another great season for the MCU.
Loki Season 2will be released on 6th October 2023 and will be available to stream on Disney+ when it arrives.
