Tom Hiddleston's Role In Disney+'s LOKI Series Rumored Be Much Different To What We Imagined

@TheDpool - well hes still involved. And its unreasonable to expect a movie actor to have a starring role in a regular tv series.

@Origame - Tom Hiddleston did a 6 episode series called ‘The Night Manager’ in this day and age it isn’t uncommon, big networks/companies pay big bucks for the stars.

@IKidYouNotMan - thats a mini series. Basically a longer movie with commercial breaks. This show is gonna be a mutli season affair.

@IKidYouNotMan - the fact they're working it so tom only has to do voice work is proof enough that they arent just having this be limited. Unless you can provide a source.

@IKidYouNotMan - 1) so you admit that you had nothing to go on for the assumption that these are meant to be limited series. Ok.

2) that means intended for multiple seasons. Thats what i and literally everyone else means by that. Miniseries arent nearly as common as you make them out to be to just assume thats a reasonable possibility without confirmation.

3) no, that actually doesnt make sense. Why would they make several shows that they have no intention of extending to multiple seasons in order to grab interest in their service?

4) may or may not get multiple seasons? So any basic show. Thats not a limited series. A limited series is 6 episodes max. No intention to expand. And thats an important distinction because even if a season 2 of loki isnt guaranteed, youd still want to make sure your star is locked in for however long you can. Ideally shows plan for about 4 seasons. Thats the commitment they would expect from hiddleston even if they dont know it will be successful. You really think they'd get that from him in a starring role?

@IKidYouNotMan - yeah, none of this says that itll be miniseries. Just that they'll start off with 6 or 8 episodes. Walking dead started off with 6 in its first season. And 8 was a possible episode count for a number of netflix mcu shows before they settled on 12. This tells me nothing.

@TheDpool - Make them dance my friend, make them dance.

@ThePott - I had no interest in a Loki tv show starring Hiddleston, I like Loki in the movies, but I just don't see the point of a Loki tv show, he should just stay dead for a while or for good in the movies, but a Kid Loki show would be even much less necessary or interesting, I would rather want a tv show for characters that have not appeared in the movies yet (Blade, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, etc).
