Tom Hiddleston: I was 'rubbish' in Thor By: Bang Showbiz (WINNIPEG FREE PRESS)



Tom Hiddleston thought he was "rubbish" in 'Thor'.

The 31-year-old star feels "very lucky" that director Joss Whedon enjoyed his performance as Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) brother Loki in the Kenneth Branagh-helmed superhero movie, so much so he wanted him to play a big part in 'Avengers Assemble'.

He said: "There was no guarantee that it was going to be such a big part, I think. And I also felt like I'd been rubbish in 'Thor' - there was no way I was going to come back.

"So it was one step at a time and I was very lucky that, as we were coming to the end of shooting 'Thor', Ken Branagh showed Joss a rough cut of the film and Joss loved it, he loved what Ken had done with it and was really about what Chris and I had done on it.

"And [Whedon] said, 'I want to take that relationship and make the stakes higher. You've got these two brothers who are fighting each other and now what's at stake is the fate of Planet Earth, because that's what's going on.' So it's really exciting."

Oh Mr. Hiddleston, I have to admit, I sort of thought you were rubbish in Thor, too... But TBEH I thought the entire movie was sort of rubbish, with a good pace and cast. You have redeemed yourself entirely in The Avengers.
