"It was extremely hot, because we were all wearing a lot of armor — we were wearing leather pants and breastplates and shoulder plates and bicep plates, and the cape was very heavy," Hiddleston told MTV News in a recent interview.

"So you're hot anyway, and then you put on what I called the steel balaclava — the horned, steel balaclava — and all the heat that's coming through your body that would normally get out through your head can't get out through your head. So my brain would slowly fry. And sometimes that would really feed what I was doing. I would be going kind of mad in there."

"When I would take it off at the end of a scene, it would be like really letting the scene go. You've got two big horns and...the imagery is satanic."

"People who don't know the comics as well, I've shown them the pictures...and they say, 'You're playing the devil. Your'e playing an incarnation of the devil.' And he is the Marvel agent of chaos."

Hiddleston is just one of those guys how seems to engulf himself in a part. I think he will bring so much emotion to Loki and, I think he will be one of the best performances of the movie.

@deadpool72: dude you really need to get over it. the more you bitch and moan the more likely you are to give yourself a freakin aneurism!

Oh and nice find josh!

Nice find JoshW.

Hiddleston's take on Loki is the one performance I'm looking forward to the most. Hope he doesn't disappoint.

Thanks guys! :)

I've watched that Thor footage probably 30+ times (thanks again for that DCMF, lol) and it keeps getting better and better with each viewing! Hiddleston's line where he says about being ruler of Asgard gives me chills. They made an amazing casting choice by picking him, that's for sure!

As for Fox...I've accepted that they'll probably never release a decent CBM. With each film they announce that they're making, I hope it'll be good but always prepare for the worst. And send death threats to the studio execs after seeing them and being let down of course, lol!

Very very cool. Hiddleston looked perfect as Loki.

I wonder if he will have all of Loki's magic powers!?

This,GL, and CaptainA will spawn up some of the most sophisticated villains in a comic book film ever besides the Joker. I can't wait.

I dunno, guys. There's just something about the way he talks about the character and how he knows him from the comics and the way he talks about his experience as Loki and everything: it just makes me think that they could NOT have picked a better person.

@Gusto: I hope you're introducing them as friends, man. Mileena's my girlfriend. Just wanted to point that out.

I think that Thor won't be using his helmet that much. Just in a couple of scenes I guess to please us.
