TOM HIDDLESTON SAYS THOR 2 IS “UTTERLY BRILLIANT” AND PLAYING LOKI IS AWESOME by Jill Pantozzi | 2:48 pm, August 6th, 2012 (THE MARY SUE)



If you’ve seen or read Tom Hiddleston talking about his Thor/The Avengers character, Loki, you know he’s like a kid in a candy store. It’s obvious the actor takes great joy not only in the role but fans’ love of the role. In a recent interview, Hiddleston got to talking about why he loves Loki so much and even spilled a bit about Thor: The Dark World.

Hiddleston spoke with Total Film about Loki and tried to get as much out of him about Thor 2 as possible.

“The best thing about being Loki is that he is my diametric opposite. Physically, he is a photo negative of who I am. Loki is dark and pale, and I am light and fair. Also spiritually I am not much like him either. Yet I feel an incredible freedom in playing him,” he said. “He is a combination of mercurial intellectual ability, emotional ambiguity, rakish charm, charisma and provocative wit. He has a wicked inclination to mischief, underneath which is a well of spiritual pain. Both these aspects are central to his depth as a character: his unashamed and perverse delight in creating chaos; and his capacity for raw emotional expression.”

And he threw in this for good measure:

“And – as my American friends tell me – he’s kind of a badass! He’s one of the richest, most rewarding, most fun characters I’ve ever played.”
