LOKI: Richard E. Grant Confirms That He Will Star Alongside Tom Hiddleston In The Disney+ TV Series

Back in March, we learned that Richard E. Grant was being eyed for a key role in the Loki TV series coming to Disney+, and the actor has now confirmed that he will be working with Tom Hiddleston...

Loki recently resumed shooting in Atlanta, Georgia, and we can now confirm another cast member for the Disney+ series. Owen Wilson was spotted on the set of the show, while Gugu Mbatha-Raw recently opened up about her excitement to resume work after months of delays caused by COVID-19. 

Back in March, we also learned that Richard E. Grant, fresh off starring in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, had signed up to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

At the time, it was said the actor would only appear in a single episode, and Grant has now taken to Twitter to confirm that he is in Loki and that he will be sharing the screen with Tom Hiddleston. We still don't know who he's playing, of course, but how cool would it be if he's a much older God of Mischief from the future or even an alternate Earth? That would make for a great moment.

It's impossible not to get excited about the prospect of these two acting heavyweights sharing the screen, but it could be a while before we get to see it on Disney+ after the latest Phase 4 delays. 

Check out Grant's Tweet below:

I don't remember, but wasn't he also in Logan? He is such a great actor, but only I've seen him in forgettable roles. Hopefully he'll be memorable in this.

Sweeeet!

Well, this is my first comment since I found this website back in 2014.

Off-topic:
Guys, which comics would you recommend me to buy among The Vision (2015), Secret Wars (2015) and House/Powers of X??? I would like to buy them all, but only have money for two of them. I don't know which ones to choose.

Also, sorry if my grammar that good.

If you want a complete story i'd say Vision.
But if you don't care about that, then pick HoX/PoX, you gotta know your mutants tho. :3

With how he put their pictures side by side, and how similar they look, he has to be playing an older Loki.

This community was a mistake.

Just imagining Kevin feige lighting his little remaining hair on fire because Grant may have casually spoiled that he's playing Old Loki

@OmegaDaGrodd - I saw nothing that hinted which roll Grant will be playing. Just a lot of guessing by the writer of the article and the readers discussing it here.

@pclark - I think he means because they're side by side in resembling photos. It may be a sly way of telling everyone

@MyCoolYoung - That's really reading between the lines... Like... making something out of nothing just on the wild hope you are right and you can say "Guessed it".

I've heard such great things about this guy. Wish he had more to do in Rise of Skywalker than scowl and put the Hux "subplot" out of its misery.

I think it could be mephisto.

@Desrow - Email from who?

I mean, it's not exactly a revelation here. Just a version of the story Fisher has been (over)selling but sympathetic to Whedon. It shouldn't shock anyone that some of the mains (I'm going to speculate Affleck, Gadot, and Miller) were more focused on their broader career than they were this particular movie. And we know Fisher and Momoa are enthusiastically Snyder boosters.

Cavill strikes me as probably the only one of them that would go out on a limb for this movie (and he did by delivering whatever he contractually could even with a ridiculous mustache). He delivered the Superman Whedon asked for, and seems to have done it gladly.

@JustAChillFan - @Kumkani - Right Click > Open in New Tab to get the biggest version possible, but here it is maybe a bit bigger.

@Desrow - where'd he leak this? Its not on his Twitter
JustAChillFan
JustAChillFan - 9/25/2020, 1:47 PM
@Spock0Clock - thanks! When I opened the other one it was about he size of my thumb still. That sounds like an awful work environment. After reading this, it gives a better idea of how the whole thing was, but I still don't get what fisher is accusing anyone of doing, other than being a dick.

After watching Mr. Sunday Movies' video talking about the possible characters that could show up in the Loki series like Professor Gamble, I'd love to see someone like Tim Minchin take on the part as I can easily see him fit with the hopefully chaotic and darkly humorous tone of the show that the cast and crew have been describing.

@demery - Minchin needs to be in more things.
