Michael Waldron Reddit AMA: Marvel, Chad Powers & More
Michael Waldron—creator of Loki, writer of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and showrunner of Heels—recently hosted an AMA on r/movies, diving into his career, upcoming projects, and behind-the-scenes Hollywood insights. Fans got exclusive details about his new Hulu series Chad Powers (starring Glen Powell) and hints about the future of the MCU.
From Rick & Morty to Marvel: Waldron’s Career Journey
Waldron’s rise in Hollywood started with Rick and Morty, but his work on Marvel’s Loki catapulted him into blockbuster territory. During the AMA, he reflected on crafting the multiverse saga:
“Loki was a dream project—mixing time-travel chaos with emotional depth. And Multiverse of Madness was a wild ride, but I’m proud of how we pushed boundaries.”
When asked about Doctor Strange 3, Waldron hinted at “even crazier multiverse twists” but stayed tight-lipped on specifics.
Chad Powers: Glen Powell’s New Comedy Series
The AMA’s biggest focus was Chad Powers, Waldron’s new Hulu sports comedy starring Top Gun: Maverick’s Glen Powell. Described as “Ted Lasso meets Friday Night Lights,” the show follows a disgraced quarterback faking his way onto a new team.
Key takeaways:
– Glen Powell’s performance is “hilarious but layered”—Waldron praised his comedic timing and dramatic range.
– Expect heartfelt storytelling—the series balances humor with emotional depth.
– Potential crossover appeal—Waldron teased “big surprises for sports and comedy fans.”
MCU Secrets, Heels Season 2 & More
Fans dug into Waldron’s other projects with burning questions:
– Loki Season 2: Though not writing it, Waldron said it “will blow minds.”
– Heels future: A second season depends on fan demand (“Tell Starz you want it!”).
– Writing habits: He works late nights fueled by “too much coffee and ’80s rock.”
Why This AMA Was a Must-Read
Waldron’s candid responses gave fans rare insights into Marvel’s multiverse, his creative process, and what’s next for Chad Powers. With his track record (Loki, Doctor Strange 2, Rick and Morty), his new Hulu series is already a must-watch.
