THE AVENGERS: Tom Hiddleston On Loki's Battles With Captain America & The Hulk

In this month's issue of Total Film Tom Hiddleston speaks about getting his start in acting and some of his movie roles since. But of course most interesting to us here at CBM is is work in Thor, in which he played the villain Loki, and the reprisal of that role for Joss Whedon's The Avengers. We already know that Loki will throw down with each member of the team individually, but we don't really know any of the details. Well in the interview Hiddleston dishes a little on what we can expect from his confrontations with both Captain America (Chris Evans) and the completely CG'd Hulk. He doesn't give too much away so I don't think we really need a spoiler warning, however he does seem to suggest that Loki may go down the mind control route when faced with the power of the Green Goliath..



"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. 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.."


I'll take that as a definitely. Could we see Loki control The Hulk and set him against his team mates as we did in the very first Avengers story from the comics? We won't have too long to find out as The Avengers hits theaters May 4th. For the rest of thsi interview check out the latest issue of Total Film, out now.

Loki will unleash the Hulk on the Helicarrier. You heard it here first.

@tea - well thought!

sweet. Makes sense. Tom Hiddleston is such a great actor.He blew me away in Thor

It will be interesting to see a Cap-Loki square off I guess. But really, it's ridiculous.

Cap could never possibly harm Loki no matter what he did. Your average Asgardian child is ten times stronger than Cap.

Loki battled CAP and HULK = EPIC

Wonder what could Dr. Selvig possibly do under Loki's control.

At the risk of repeating what others have already posted and appearing a bit nerdy but the Hulk (in Avengers #1) never becomes mind controled by Loki.

Loki just tricks him into trashing a railtrack with an illusion.

Loki fighting with Captain America?!? This cant be!!! You know ever since Cap was unfrozen he has been depressed. Peggy is dead, Bucky is gone, and Cap cant even get drunk so he found himself in a bromance...



LOL

So, Loki shape-changes into Banner or something like that to confuse the Hulk.. I could them throwing Ruffalo a bone that way.. it all depends on how smart Hulk is really.

@Nomis - It's funny because Loki looks almost completely unfazed by Cap's kick in that pic you posted.

You guys are getting it all wrong, Loki will not control the Hulk, thats Amora The Enchantress job, lol, I hope.

DEFENDER
DEFENDER - 2/20/2012, 12:26 PM
this movie is ruined before it begins without the appearence of thor's helmet.
DEFENDER
DEFENDER - 2/20/2012, 12:29 PM
thor could have been wearing his helmet inside shield headquartwers only for speaking parts and that would satisfy the fans.
DEFENDER
DEFENDER - 2/20/2012, 12:33 PM
to just outright exclude thor's helmet in the avengers movie was a very bad decision on the part of the producer,director or maybe even the actor.
DEFENDER
DEFENDER - 2/20/2012, 12:39 PM
whoever or whatever parties responsible for not inserting thor's helmet as a vital part of his costume in the avengers movie does not possess enough knowledge of the marvel character.
DEFENDER
DEFENDER - 2/20/2012, 12:41 PM
i waited 35 years for marvel to make a movie featuring thor only to be heartbroken & disappointed by not seeing thor wear his winged helmet.
dahamma
dahamma - 2/20/2012, 12:49 PM
@Defender a little dramatic dont ya think ? lol Im a long time Thor fan too, and yes I would like to see the helmet, but I am SOHAPPY that they have someone to play him that not only LOOKS the part but can reflect the character I know him as in the comics. Heck they even made Thor into a badass so im not complaining. They got the character right,so what if he doesn't have his helmet. THe character himself is more important.

Now i could understand you if he didn't have a cape or Mjolnir but alas he does!

LETS HAVE A PITY PARTY FOR DEFENDER...LOL i agree with you but starting to rethink it after your crying in 5 consecutive posts! i dont really think its gonna detract from the movie all that much ,that is,unless you let it
BigThor
BigThor - 2/20/2012, 1:11 PM
@Nomis - Yeah, but based on their abilites and what Hiddleston's been saying in his interviews...we all know how Loki vs Cap is going to turn out.
PeterDarker121
PeterDarker121 - 2/20/2012, 1:23 PM
@Defender...I FEEL ya, but who knows...maybe he WILL rock it sometime in the film. Meanwhile, just focus on THIS until May 4th and hope for the best.

This kind of sounds like an episode of the EMH cartoon.

Like Loki will deceive Hulk into thinking that every member of the team sees him as a monster and they don't trust him.

You know, something along those lines.

How does anyone know that we won't see Thor in the helmet? In the solo flick we only got like 10 seconds of it.. I'm sure we'll see it.. As far as Hemsworth & Hiddleston I think they were both perfectly cast..
