Black Widow and Loki stars come to late night TV this week
By Matt Moore
The Marvel Cinematic Universe remains at the center of the entertainment universe. The stars behind Black Widow and Loki will be front and center this week on late night TV.
The world finally got to see the highly anticipated (and much delayed) Black Widow over the weekend. The Scarlett Johansson-led film hit theaters and Disney+ on July 9. By all accounts, it was worth the wait.
Meanwhile, Loki continued Marvel’s winning streak when it comes to original series. Following the success of WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki has been another crowd-pleasing hit. The series airs its finale on Wednesday, 14.
To help promote both projects, Marvel’s stars come to late night TV this week. MCU cast members have always been popular on late night and provide some of the best interviews. Here’s where to watch the stars from Black Widow and Loki this week.
Loki on late night TV
The God of Mischief himself comes to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, July 12. Tom Hiddleston will check in with Jimmy Fallon ahead of Loki‘s finale.
Fans should anticipate some behind-the-scenes stories about the show’s production and perhaps Hiddleston’s reaction to being surrounded by alternate versions of his signature Marvel character.
The MCU has a long history of making superhero stars out of some unlikely actors and actresses. The latest entry in that category is Loki‘s Richard E. Grant.
Fans loved seeing Grant as Classic Loki and the actor appeared to be just as excited about it. His comic-accurate costume also earned applause from Loki viewers.
Expect to hear all about how Grant got involved in Loki and his response to the fan reaction when the actor appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, July 13.
Black Widow on late night TV
Monday night also features another titular hero on late night TV. Scarlett Johansson stops by Late Night with Seth Meyers to talk about Black Widow.
A Black Widow solo film was a long time coming, both in terms of going into development and getting to theaters. Expect Johansson to recap her Marvel journey that brought her from Iron Man to Black Widow.
The Black Widow promotion tour stays at Late Night with Seth Meyers. Florence Pugh stops by on Wednesday, July 14.
Pugh’s performance earned high marks from critics, with many suggesting she’ll have a major role in the MCU’s future. With Seth Meyers, she should comment on the challenge of joining Black Widow and her chemistry with Johansson.
