COMICS: Tom Hiddleston Praises Kieron Gillen's Take On Loki; "Here’s To Bringing Norse Back"

Kieron Gillen's run on Journey Into Mystery has seen 'Kid Loki' become one of Marvel's most popular characters. In the final issue (which went on sale yesterday), a very well-known fan decided to write in and share his thoughts on the writer's take on the character...Tom Hiddleston!

Kieron Gillen has himself a very famous fan. In the letters page of Journey Into Mystery #645, Tom Hiddleston - who has brought the God of Mischief to life in the big screen in both Thor and Marvel's The Avengers - decided to share his thoughts on the writer's take on Loki during his critically acclaimed run. While it's unlikely that we'll ever see the actor play this incredibly popular version of the iconic villain (special effects aren't quite that good just yet after all), it should come as a nice surprise to fans that Hiddleston is up-to-date on his comic books. It's also obvious that like Gillen, who will continue Kid Loki's story in Young Avengers, the actor has a very good grasp on the inner workings of the character.

Just when I thought my mancrush on Hiddleston couldn't get deeper he goes and pulls off a stunt like this. Dude is arguably my favorite actor right now.

There are so few actors who really like to portray and read comic books and most of them are actors who are now part of the MCU.

Tom is great actor and more of enjoyable person in reality but I never liked the movie version of loki I think he lacked the trickster and sarcastic and crazy part of loki that made him popular
