Owen Wilson has been reprimanded by Marvel Studios.

In an interview with ComicBook, Wilson shared that the studio is "kind of uptight" when it came to the actor sharing details about the "Loki" series.

Wilson stars as Mobius M. Mobius in the television series. He stars alongside Tom Hiddleston, who takes on the title role, Sophia Di Martino, Jonathan Majors, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Tara Strong and Sasha Lane.

During the interview with the outlet, Wilson stopped himself from answering certain questions since he’s been "scolded" by Marvel.

"Well, I do think that... you know, we'll see what happens with this one," he said. "I immediately get kind of self-conscious because they're so kind of uptight."

"Yes," Wilson said about being scolded. "Yeah, multiple times."

"Basically, at the time, they were looking for less well-established actors, so that the audience didn't have an association," the Broadway star told the late-night TV host.

"They just wanted people to see these new characters, these new actors and the remit was, if you're over 6 foot and you've got blonde hair, you can come have a pop at it," he said. "So... I never auditioned for Loki. I only auditioned for Thor, which is nuts."

Hiddleston spoke with Fallon before the first season of "Loki" was released and said, "It is amazing. I never expected it."

He continued: "You know, I auditioned for the first ‘Thor’ film 10 years ago, in 2009, and I just thought I was auditioning or a movie, you know? An interesting part. An interesting movie."

"Back then, the Marvel Universe was only… they'd just made ‘Iron Man’ and I thought, 'I'll have a go.' I didn't expect to be cast at all, so I've got my own show," he added. "So exciting. We go into production next year, and that's about as much as I can tell you."
