Loki Director Hopes Physical Sets Will Become More Common in Future Marvel Projects

Loki director Kasra Farahani recently opened up about designing the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 for the third episode of the Disney+ series’ second season.Farahani — who has held several different titles at Marvel Studios including art director, concept artist, production designer and writer — made his Marvel Cinematic Universe directorial debut with Loki Season 2 Episode 3, “1893.” Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, he explained how the Loki team built the immersive 1893 World’s Fair sets, which have earned acclaim from critics and fans. “Specifically, we were building more intact, fully 360 sets, including ceilings with integrated lighting, and that was just something that the studio was unsure about because they hadn’t done a lot of that,” Farahani said. “And so it took a lot of convincing. I dare say, I hope, that it’s even going to change things beyond our show in terms of how things are photographed.”As Farahani noted, Marvel Studios’ productions don’t typically recreate “fully 360 sets,” opting instead to film on green stages instead of real locations. Farahani isn’t the only one to go against the Marvel norm as Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy is also prioritizing physical sets/locations instead of green screens. He recently explained in September 2023 why he opted against green screens early in production: “I made a decision very early in prep that even though Deadpool is now in the MCU, I didn’t want another Marvel movie shot on a green screen stage with digital set extensions.”RELATED: Spider-Man: Homecoming Continuity Error Finally Retconned in New MCU Timeline Book
