The MCU's 5 best scene-stealers of 2023
By Josh Baggins
Ouroboros (Loki)
After Jonathan Majors shockingly hijacked the first season finale with his energized introduction of Kang, known in that version as He Who Remains, Majors eclectically enters Loki Season 2 as a different Kang variant, broadening his range as Victor Timely.
And yet, the indisputable scene-stealer of Loki’s second season belongs to Ke Huy Quan as Ouroboros. Quan brings a candid breeziness to every second of screentime – as O.B. he is delightfully affable and just plain hysterical in his vibrant verbalizing of matter-of-fact scientific, temporal jargon. Within mere moments, Ouroboros radiates high levels of likability, and fans are treated to his optimistic outlook in almost every chapter of Season 2. To distinguish oneself so prominently when participating alongside fascinating characters such as Kang, Sylvie, Mobius, and the God of Mischief himself, is truly an accomplishment.
Ke Huy Quan is coming off of an Oscar win for his multiverse-spanning turn in Everything Everywhere All at Once, so it is perfectly fitting for him to portray the ultimate multiversal scholar in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With massive mergers of storylines expected in The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars, Ouroboros does have the opportunity to return, given his expertise. And if those universe-altering events are as severe as the previous Avengers epics, O.B. could easily be a breath of fresh air in the middle of the chaos.
