Kevin Feige thinks Tom Hiddleston's Loki and Owen Wilson's Mobius will become Marvel's most popular pairing 

In a recent interview with TV Insider, Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson were joined by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, as they talked about the Loki series. They were discussing the dynamics between Loki and Mobius. Hiddleston stated that Wilson's character holds the "highest academic honours" in the studies of God of Mischief. Wilson mentioned that it is a little bit of a chess match to gain Loki’s trust, but in that shared endeavour, there’s an interesting dynamic between the two. 

The Rushmore star compared the bond between Loki and Mobius to Nick Nolte getting Eddie Murphy out of jail in the 1982 movie 48 Hrs. Marvel's Kevin Feige too expressed his opinion on the duo. He asserted that they will be one of the "most popular pairings" they have ever had at Marvel. 

The banter between Tom Hiddleston's Loki and Owen Wilson's Mobius received praises from the viewers. Fans are excited to see what they would bring to the table with this new series. Among the popular pairing at Marvel are - Tony Stark and James Rhodey, Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton, Thor and Loki, Nick Fury and Maria Hill, Rocket Racoon and Groot, Doctor Strange and Benedict Wong, Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne, Peter Parker and Ned Leeds, and more.
