The Avengers writer-director Joss Whedon hosted a global Twitter chat Thursday with Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston and Clark Gregg. In advance of the unveiling of a TV spot that will run Sunday during the Super Bowl, fans interacted with the stars of the upcoming Marvel Studios tentpole and asked them to compare and contrast their experiences on Whedon’s film with previous comic book adaptations they’ve done.
3. Tom Hiddleston continues to develop himself as an actor as he discovers an identity for his confused character.
Prior to Thor, Tom Hiddleston was the Marvel Universe’s unknown quantity, since he would be playing one of its most formidable villains and yet he’d done relatively little that comics fans would know or have seen. But fan excitement was palpable as they asked him questions about the work he’s doing on The Avengers to develop the character further. “[He’s] More mischievous. More evil. More hubristic. More delusional. More damaged. More badass.” Revealing the character’s journey in the film, Hiddleston said, “He doesn't want revenge so much as identity. Belonging. Purpose. Self-esteem. Through delusional dreams.”
4. In The Avengers, Hiddleston balances the cerebral aspects of his Thor turn with more physical one as he faces off against the film’s heroes.
Although the actor joined in the action on Thor, his character Loki triumphed primarily because of his ability to outwit his adversaries. But he claims that Avengers demanded significantly more out of him physically, starting with even just his preparation for the film. "More stunts. More training. Day in, day out. Running, jumping, flying, twisting. We worked like athletes. It was really fun," he said, before indicating that the acting muscles were the toughest for him to flex.
"The biggest challenge was magnifying his menace without losing touch of his emotional truth. Keeping his chaos honest!"
