Tom Hiddleston on The Avengers

  I’m ready to see Tom Hiddleston ooze evil as Loki when he reprises his Thor role in The Avengers. The star won Best Newcomer at the Empire Awards and spoke about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in one big movie.

“‘Avengers‘ is the first of its kind because it’s a film about not one superhero, but seven or eight, all of whom are beloved already because of their first outings,” Hiddleston told Red Carpet News. “I’ve seen it once and it was a very rough cut, but it’s absolutely thrilling. It grips you on the edge of your seat from the get-go. It takes itself extremely seriously one moment and doesn’t take itself seriously at all in the next moment. It has a huge sense of humor but also real heart and action. It’s more fun than should be allowed.”

  Thor and Loki’s sibling rivalry explodes to threaten the world in Marvel’s The Avengers this May. Tom Hiddleston gave insight into Loki’s interactions with Captain America and the Hulk in a new interview with Total Film.

“I had huge fun with Chris Evans, as Captain America, because super-soldier though he may be, he’s still a man, up against a God who in his own mind is infinitely superior,” Hiddleston said. “Then, in the ring with The Hulk, we’ve got this silver tongued, lightening quick mind up against the embodiment of rage…Loki has this mercurial, transformative ability, not just physically but intellectually, so not all the fights are purely physical. Mind games? Maybe..”

  Thanks to Spinoff Online for the story and I salute their description of the film as “Earth’s Mightiest Movie. The best kept secret of the big screen movie is still a secret – Loki’s army he unleashes on Earth.

 

 

The Avengers Loki’s New Role

This sounds strange and fascinating! Tom Hiddleston (Loki from Thor and The Avengers) will Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Mia Wasikowska in a new film by Jim Jarmusch. Only Loves Left Alive is described as as vampire romance meets horror drama according to the Hollywood Reporter. That’s a cast with a ton of comic book and fantasy genre credits.

The Avengers Villain’s Favorite Filming Moment

Tom Hiddleston will once again don the horned helmet of Loki in The Avengers next summer. The actor playing Thor’s brother revealed his favorite moment of filming to UK’s Elle magazine via the Winnepeg Free Press.

“My favorite moment on set was filming at a NASA location the size of a cathedral. I flew around like a trapeze artist in a rocket-testing facility in the company of Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Renner. That was a pretty good day at work,” he said.

Hiddleston revealed the mood on the set of a movie with such a big cast of stars.

“All of the actors in ‘The Avengers’ are so nice. Marvel has these code names for projects and the code name for ‘The Avengers’ was Group Hug. It felt very much like a group hug on set.”

Thanks to SuperHeroHype for the updates. The Avengers assembles in theaters May 4, 2012. Hiddleston will be seen in War Horse next.
