Tom Hiddleston Describes The First Scene He Filmed In Thor And More!

The following are a few excerpts from The Sunday Times' Culture magazine with the actor who will play the villainpus Loki in Thor! Check my transcription out below and be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!

On His First Day On The Set Of Thor:

"My first day, I walked into a warehouse in Manhattan Beach and there were five stunt doubles rehearsing a huge battle sequence, with 10 or 15 enormous stunt men, playing a race of frost giants. I thought, 'I am in another world.'"


On The Character Of Loki And Tone Of The Movie:

"Weirdly enough, I find a lot of commonality between Archipelago and Thor. They're not going to look the same, they're not going to feel the same, but, actually, both stories are all about family, and each character is wrestling with am external resistance to who they feel they are. It's much more interesting for me as an actor to go in with that angle - who am I?"


Loki: The God Of Mischief EVIL?

"Loki is the younger brother of Thor. In Norse mythology, he's the god of mischief. Then, later, he is the god of evil."


With an all star cast that also includes Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Thor is set to be released in the UK on April 29 and shortly after in the US on May 6, later this year!

Now you know and knowing is half the battle.

back on topic: I can't wait for the thor movie, Hiddleston is awesome and when are we getting the damn cap trailer! I wouldn't be suprised if we get the second GL trailer before the first Cap trailer.

They're not gonna say Loki is actually an adopted younger brother of Thor.

That's the twist for the movie audiences.

hopefully they will give hawkeye his archor oulfit in the movie.... and if it gets a good reception, they'll keep it that way for avengers, if it does not... they could switch his to his ultimate outfit....

I just love Hiddleston's enthusiasm for Loki.
You can tell he's really going to breathe life into the character.
Really can't wait for Thor!


Check out my Red Skull poster if you get the chance. I'd really appreciate it!

the guy was amazing in Wallander, great actor I am pretty sure he's going to be awesome as Loki I just hope that they keep his true family linage under wraps from the general audiences. Makes it a bit more surprising for the GA.

@marvel72 not long left, cant [frick]ing wait!

Hiddleston seems voiceless as Loki to me, id like to see him more animated or maybe hear a good line in a clip...at least speak as Lopki before i grant him Ledger status.He worries me only focusing on the "brother of Thor" aspect.

Thor is going to wipe the floor with GL and Cap... I can feel it in my jingles.

Something about the first trailer just made me think "yes... they didn't [frick] it up!"

I hope Cap and GL are good, but I just have a feeling it's gonna be Mjölnir that smashes the box office this summer.

@marcolanni: If you stopped coming to websights like these and treated Thor and other cbm's like other movies then you wouldn't feel saturated.

Thor is the only movie I have enough interest in that I'm getting saturated. But I choose to and I'm not complaining. If I wanted the movie to be more of a suprise I wouldn't log onto this site....EVER.

You only have yourself to blame imo.

Eventually if you log onto sites like this you will get saturated with info before the movie comes out.

People who like surprises shouldn't come to sites like these.

I have a friend who never watches the trailers of movies he wants to see. All he wants to know is what movies are coming out and when and that is it.
