Loki star Ke Huy Quan is "shameless" in his desire to join the Star Wars galaxy. Loki season 2 introduced viewers to Ke Huy Quan's Ouroboros, a scientist who worked at the Time Variance Authority and who was essentially the only person there to really understand how its time travel technology really worked. Ouroboros was a hit, and viewers are eager to see more of Ke Huy Quan, who's had a tremendous year so far – having also been part of the cast of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
Speaking in an interview with Collider, Quan has confirmed he wants to stay within the Disney family – and, in fact, is eager to join Star Wars. Kathleen Kennedy was involved with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, giving him an opportunity to speak to her. According to Quan, he made the most of that chance.
"I was shameless when I saw Kathy! I went up to give her a big hug. And I said, "Kathy, Kathy, please put me in the Star Wars universe!" And what's so great about it, if you think about it, it's all under the Disney family, you know? So, I was lucky to be Short Round, which is also Disney. And, now MCU, and, you know, I want to stay in the family. It's great."
