THOR Star Tom Hiddleston Covers SHORTLIST; Reveals How Playing 'Loki' Changed His Life
In a recent interview with Shortlist, Tom Hiddleston took the time to speak on how playing the villainous character Loki changed his life for the good. He also said that he'd love to play Loki again, and revealed that he gets a kick out of everyone's love for the trickster!
Hiddleston then told that after he was cast as Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, his life was changed, and he became a part of a "phenomenon". "Loki did change my life. I was predominantly an actor in the British theatre. I’d worked with Kenneth Brannagh in television and the West End, then he cast me as Loki and within a year I was a part of this phenomenon." After what Loki did at the end of Thor: The Dark World, Hiddleston's adventures should continue in Thor: Ragnarok, and maybe beyond that film! Infinity War, maybe?
Later in the interview, Tom talked about the impact his character has had had so far, and how he enjoys seeing the fans enjoy his performance, and the performances of all his co-stars. "When you meet children and they have that really authentic response, that’s really cool. They are so generally enthusiastic and you realize they love these characters unashamedly." He then continued, "The enthusiasm is so genuine and so infectious. I am continuously amazed at how people like Loki."
Even though he'd love to play Loki many more times, he's still unsure about where he and his character stands in the MCU as of now."Yeah, he’s got mischief – he’s a bit bad. I don’t know where it goes from here. It feels like Marvel is expanding at such a rate, with so many new characters and so many new films, so I don’t know what my place is in all of that."
