Tom Hiddleston Would Take A STAR WARS Role Offer "Very Seriously"

While chatting to Digital Spy, Tom Hiddleston was asked whether he would consider a role in the new Star Wars movie coming our way - given the fact that he is currently acting under the Disney umbrella as Marvel's Loki, and that he has worked with executive producer Kathleen Kennedy before on War Horse. He replies that he hadn't thought about it but is a huge fan of the original trilogy, and although it would depend on story and character, and he is worried that fans might associate him too closely with Loki, he would take any offer "very seriously". See what the actor had to say in full in the below vid..



Loki in Star Wars? Sounds good to me! Which role do you think Hiddleston would suit? Or would a brand new character be the way to go? Sound off below.

Depending on when this movie is set, he would be believable as the son of Han and Leia. His features are more similar to them then they are to Luke. However, I would imagine they'd be looking for slightly younger leads than Tom if they're starting a whole new trilogy.

I could see him and Tom Hardy as Sith Lords and Micheal Fassbender as Jedi Knight or Master.

Whoever said Jacen/Darth Cadeas nailed it. Jacen Solo in the books has an incredible journey. The twins start out as a beacon of hope. Jacen in his innocence looking for higher meaning with the force and ultimately succumbing to the darkside without even realizing it until it is too late would be a PERFECT role for Hiddleston. Would love to see the Embrace of Pain and that entire story line on screen. Those books were so visual. I can still see Chewie standing on Serindepal shaking his fists in defiance as the moon crushes the planet and then the entire Han and Anakin dilemma with Han looking at his son saying "You left him".. That would be bad a$$

He should absolutely be a Jedi Knight if he's offered a role, I'd rather not see him as another villain because he'd probably be written similarly to Loki. I can definitely see him as a very serious Jedi Knight, perhaps one who is known for being more skillful than his age would let on.

If this happened, it would be the first step in me having faith in this new trilogy. I'd hope that Episodes VII - IX could bring in the best of both previous trilogies (i.e. the Jedi being active intergalactic peacekeepers once more from the Prequels, but without the stupid gimmicky shit, and with the more heartfelt storytelling from the original trilogy).

I could also imagine Hugo Weaving as either a Jedi Master or a bad guy (not too keen on the Sith returning unless done exceptionally well - there are other villains in the Galaxy).

I'd also kind of like bounty hunters to have a larger role in at least one of the films, perhaps with an older Boba Fett (who apparently survived the Sarlacc) acting as some kind of crime-boss, Jabba style... except different.

And I think the biggest continuity link should be C3PO and R2-D2 returning - I'm shocked no one has mentioned them yet, but people forget they're the only characters who've appeared the same (and portrayed by the same actors) in every installment so far, plus they're the easiest characters to bring back, since at this point they could put younger actors in the suits and bring back Anthony Daniels to voice C3PO (Kenny Baker may be too old to go back in R2's suit, and the voice is digital anyway)

@DangerStranger he was asked a question. Do you expect him to just sit there with his mouth shut? If you're being interviewed, you talk, you don't keep quiet; that's the opposite to the reason that you'd be there. And he's not over exposing himself at all, he's not one of those celebrities who parades around on drinking and drug benders every night until 5am, and sleeps with strings with miscellaneous women, and acts like a general douchebag. Hiddleston seems like a genuinely nice, down to Earth guy who is being deservedly recognized as a talented actor, and isn't letting it all go to his head or feed his ego.

Oh, hell yeah!! Go for it, Tom!



An actor like Tom in a movie franchise like Star Wars is a goldmine. Disney has to look into him becoming a part of another big name franchise. C'mon, Disney....



And if Tom were to land a role (and it better be a big role) for the future Star Wars films, then I hope to see him as a Jedi Knight. Seeing Tom weild a lightsaber like a bad@$$ will be epic!

Yeeesh you have all missed the point. He is Loki. Thus he Should Darth Skywalker. (One of the names Loki is known for in myth.) This would tie Marvel and Star Wars together as a franchise. Think of the crossovers and money to be made. The mind reels The Avenging Jedi!!!!!

In all seriousness Tom would be a really good choice as villian or hero. Now nobody tell Micheal Bay about my first paragraph.

I'd love to see Tom Hiddleston is Star Wars! There are always big British actors in the films and this would be a genius and perfect addition! I'd love to see him as Jacen Solo but then who for Jaina? I know this may not be a popular opinion but I think Andrew Garfield could play Ben Skywalker, he looks enough like Hayden Christiansen and Mark Hamill!

I honestly don't know what other Star Wars villains that could be included in the franchise. Not sure if Disney/Lucas Film has to create more for future films, or what. So it'll be interesting to see along the road for the future Star Wars films.

ABSOLUTELY yes, but not if he's typecast as a "Loki" or as a Bad guy. He needs something he can get in to and make his own.

YYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!

He was awesome as Loki
I wouldn't want to see him as a villain.
I'd be okay with an anti-hero type character

AC1 - 11/15/2012, 10:55 AM
Jedi Knight - emphasis on the Knight part. He'd thrive in the role and it'd be very different to Loki.
