Eric Martin is a writer.
Martin was a staff writer and co-producer on Loki Season 1, but had much more involvement with the season than his staff writer credit implies. During the later stages, executive producer and head writer Michael Waldron had to depart to write Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), so he gave his responsibilities remaining on the season to Martin. Martin not only wrapped up their season one finale episode, “For All Time, Always,” but he also rewrote much of season one due to the pandemic’s unforeseen impact on production.Subsequently, Martin was promoted officially to executive producer and head writer on Loki Season 2.

Justin Benson was born on June 9, 1983, in San Diego, California, United States.

Both he and Moorhead directed shorts and commercials early in their careers. In 2017, Benson and Moorhead, alongside their producing partner David Lawson Jr., founded the film production company Rustic Films.
Their first film, the 2012 horror film Resolution, was screened at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. They described their partnership as purely collaborative and cast the lead actors after working with them on previous commercials they had worked on. Their follow-up, the 2014 romantic body horror film Spring, premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was publicly praised by both Richard Linklater and Guillermo del Toro. The pair's work can also be found in the horror anthology film V/H/S: Viral, in the segment entitled"Bonestorm." Their film, The Endless, premiered in competition at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2017 and was theatrically released in 2018 by Well Go USA Entertainment. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the duo created and starred in Something in the Dirt, which was shot in Benson's apartment due to restrictions on the film industry at the time.
In television, Benson and Moorhead have contributed to multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe television series. After directing two episodes of Moon Knight, the duo were recruited as lead directors of the second season of Loki. After a significant creative reshuffle on Daredevil: Born Again, the two were hired to direct most of the episodes.

Kevin R. Wright served as an executive producer on Loki (2021-2023) and former VP of production and development at Marvel Studios. He now produces original film and TV projects independently. Wright was one of the central creative figures behind the Tom Hiddleston-led Loki, which is widely considered to be the crown jewel of Marvel Studios’ Disney+ slate with six Emmy nominations.
Shortly before 9/11, the Philadelphia native delayed his film school ambition to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps, and he served as a combat correspondent for four years. Upon completing his service, he majored in writing for film and television at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts before graduating as valedictorian. Wright then moved to Los Angeles and interned for a couple of years until a chance meeting and opportunity with Marvel Studios materialised at a time when he was considering abandoning his pursuit. He then steadily climbed the ranks, beginning as a development assistant and then the production and development manager on Doctor Strange (2016). His path to becoming a full-fledged producer on Loki and VP of Production and Development began with an associate producer role on Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018).
Wright crafted a 30-page pitch for Loki (2021-2023) that included many of the future show’s foundational elements, including the Time Variance Authority. The entity proved to be so popular that it transitioned to the big screen in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024).
Wright was also in charge of introducing Hiddleston to his early concepts and potential. At the moment, Hiddleston was happy with his current character journey, which had its roots in Thor (2011). After presenting a compelling argument for immersive 360-degree sets to Marvel executives, the executive even built the foundation for the series' Emmy-nominated production design. In addition to being completed on schedule and below budget, the second season of Loki was among the first Marvel Studios productions—if not the first—to not require any extra photography.
