In an exciting revelation for fans, Andy Serkis has dropped a major hint about his return as Kino Loy in the upcoming Andor Season 2 on Disney+. Kino Loy, portrayed by Serkis, quickly became a fan favorite in the Star Wars Disney+ series, despite his character’s inability to swim. Many assumed Loy had perished during the big breakout, but Lucasfilm surprised everyone by announcing Serkis’ return in the show’s sophomore run.
Andy Serkis Teases‘s Fate
In an interview with Empire Magazine, Andy Serkis shared a tantalizing hint about Kino Loy’s fate. Serkis stated that Narkina 5, the place Loy was left behind, is a desolate and lonely environment without other people. This suggests that Loy may have survived but is now enduring a solitary existence.
During a conversation with ET Online, Serkis acknowledged that if Loy had jumped, it would have marked his demise. However, the actor revealed that Loy is alive and working on his next move. Serkis expressed his excitement about returning to the character, emphasizing his love for the complexity, flaws, and bravery of Kino Loy. He even joked about Loy perfecting his swimming techniques during his time at Narkina 5.
What Does the Future Hold for Kino Loy?
Kino Loy’s return comes as a pleasant surprise for many viewers. However, the question arises as to why the story would revisit Narkina 5. One possibility is that the Rebel Alliance might investigate the purpose behind Cassian Andor’s former prison and the activities conducted there.
Lucasfilm has the potential to shock fans by revealing that Kino Loy is, in fact, the individual who eventually becomes Supreme Leader Snoke through cloning, considering Andy Serkis played both characters. The real uncertainty lies in whether Loy will survive his second appearance, as the timeline following Andor is quite specific, making it challenging to incorporate his continued involvement.
It is plausible that Serkis’ character will become an unseen Rebel legend, akin to Hera Syndulla, by the time Ahsoka’s story unfolds, leaving his further adventures shrouded in mystery.
