Michael Waldron, creator of the Disney+ series Loki, got his big break as an intern for Dan Harmon — when he started a softball team that would get him more face time with the creator of Community and Rick & Morty.

Things have gone well since — besides running Loki, he's writing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and a secret Star Wars project led by Marvel chief Kevin Feige. He also created the upcoming Starz wrestling drama Heels.

His influences range from Nora Ephron to Quentin Tarantino, and he traces Loki's mix of love and nihilism, in part, to a comic strip: Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes.
