Tom Hiddleston Fields Fan Questions About THOR 2 And THE AVENGERS

Source: Empire Magazine

Question: Hey Tom, thanks for doing this. Loki was a really sympathetic villain (good work on that), but did Thor leave you wanting to play an all-out total bastard? Assumedly your character in War Horse ISN'T one of those...

Tom Hiddleston says: Gosh. I suppose I need a clearer definition of all-out total bastard. You haven't seen The Avengers yet!


Question: Talking about the Avengers, we know that Loki will be very different from the one you portrayed in Thor. But is there a possibility that by the end of the movie he will be (maybe just a little) like the Loki we saw with Thor before the Coronation ceremony? There will be a little of redemption and reconciliation with the big brother who loves Loki so much?

Tom Hiddleston says: I don't want to spoil anything here. Loki's eternal predilection is to dance on the fault lines of villainy and redemption. I think whatever happens to him, he'll always keep people guessing.

Question: What was it like having to work with so many different actors for The Avengers, and did you ever play some Loki-spirited pranks on them?

Tom Hiddleston says: It was really fun to work with all of those guys. They each have such specific talents, and I always liken acting to playing tennis. The rally that you play with a new partner is completely different, and no, it's a $300m movie, and I probably would have been fired for playing the prankster!


Question: Hi Mr Tom Hiddleston. Since The Joker, i've never seen a better interpretation of a villain. What inspired you to interpret your character?

Tom Hiddleston says: Well, in the comics Loki has so many different faces, and the thing that inspired both myself and Ken Brannagh was his mixture of emotional psychological complexity, and the speed of his mind. So you have somebody who's capable of thinking and strategizing at the speed of light,
but underneath that is a deep well of pain that at any moment threatens to boil over.

Question: When you threw RD Jr out that window, were you still in character or enjoying every minute?

Tom Hiddleston says: A mixture of both.

The webchat was so packed, I was unable to get any of my questions answered like I normally am but participating was still worth it just to see all the love that fans have for this guy. Before Thor, Hiddleston was a relative nobody and now he's one of the hottest actors in Hollywood right now. To read about when the Thor sequel will begin production, click here.
