In a rather fresh interview with Just Jared, British actor Tom Hiddleston discussed his villainous 'Loki' reprisal in next summer's assembly of Marvel's The Avengers. Essentially praising Joss Whedon's directorship, and working with the actors, sharply calling out the first word that comes to mind with each cast member, Hiddleston also shares what were his favorite props while filming.

How would you describe the whole shooting experience in one word?
"Ooh. Epic."

What was it like working with director Joss Whedon?
"Fantastic. Joss has kind of got this pan-literacy about the genre and his dexterity in negotiating all the different story lines, all the different characters, all the different tones just so that it’s real and relatable and funny and dynamic and then just badass, because that’s what the Avengers has to be! So he was capable of directing intensely dynamic scenes between two characters, but also delivering action on the most incredible scale. I can’t say enough about Joss. Amazing director."

What was it like working with the other cast members?
"Fantastic! A lot of the time, we were all pinching ourselves. We were holed up – this bunch of superheroes were holed up in Albuquerque, New Mexico and there’s an element of, you know when everyone’s away from home. I guess it’s like camp or something, you just kind of band together because nobody’s got anywhere else to be. No one’s got home to go to, so it’s like, ‘Does anyone wanna play some ping-pong after work?’ It was really great."

You have a fight scene with each superhero, basically?
"Well, kind of. I have a one-to-one with every superhero, yeah."

We’re gonna go through each superhero, give me the first word that comes to mind. Chris Hemsworth. "My brother!" Scarlett Johansson. "Steel." Chris Evans. "Hilarious." Jeremy Renner. "Casino." Robert Downey Jr. "Suitcase." Samuel L. Jackson. "Eye patch." Gwyneth Paltrow. "Mister." Mark Ruffalo. "Jose."

What was your favorite prop on set?
"There’s a couple of quite cool props, actually. I’d say my favorite prop would have to be Loki’s spear. Does it have to be one I use or could it be someone else?...Okay…okay. Sam Jackson has these amazing screens. They’re kind of like uber iPads or something. So from his command base in the Shield, the base of operations, he’s got these incredible screens which he’s just able to pull stuff up on....[Like Minority Report]"

Maybe "mister" was because it was hot on set and Gwyneth used a spray bottle to keep cool?

"JJ: Offbeat hobbies or anything?
TH: I have to say I did nothing I enjoy more than a marathon round of table tennis. I’ve got to say, Captain America, Chris Evans, and Thor, Chris Hemsworth, they might have bigger biceps than me, but put them on the table tennis table. There’s a degree of frustration at their inability to beat me."

That's great! LOL Loki is the ping pong champ!
