While Loki caught a glimpse of Sylvie from the future at the TVA, it was still a mystery as to where she's been hiding the entire time.
But viewers got their answer in the post-credits scene, where Sylvie was seen arriving in 1982 in the town of Broxton, Oklahoma where she stumbled across a McDonald's.
Revealing the significance of the location, Wright told Digital Spy exclusively that it's a subtle nod to the comic book character Sylvie Lushton, aka Enchantress.
"Broxton, Oklahoma's a little bit of an Easter egg from the comics, there's a fun little deep dive there," Wright said. "That is a nice reference to the Sylvie Lushton character in the comics, the era... It's a metaphor.
"It's like there's a nostalgic lens that we look through and it was about finding her at the opposite of an apocalypse. A small town where even at a McDonald's, people know each other's name.
"The McDonald's thing was like this lens of nostalgia for me and I think for a lot of other people.
"When there'd be birthday parties, I would go to McDonald's. [Or when I'd] play Little League [baseball]... You finish the game and you go [there] with your team."

While they share the same name, Sylvie in Loki is not the character from the comics. Instead, Sylvie, who is played by Sophia Di Martino, is a totally original character who takes inspiration from both Lushton and Lady Loki.
Back when season one was airing, Di Martino addressed a fan theory that Sylvie is actually Enchantress.
“She's been inspired by the comics, and our story is inspired by the comics,” Di Martino said.
“But Loki is a new story, and it’s a new backstory for Sylvie. So it's an entirely new story. But she is enchanting people, and therefore an enchantress. So… yeah. Who knows?”
Loki season 1 is streaming on Disney+. Season 2 will premiere on October 6.
