Looks like Tom wants to go disco!!!

And I will boogie with him.

From what I've heard Loki was beaten up quite a few times in the film.

[Donstuie]

Once again nailed the part. Hiddleston's screen presence is amazing, and he's nigh on impossible to look away from when on-screen.

Was also part of the funniest moment in the film where

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

he verbally abuses Hulk, yelling words to the effect of "I am a God you dumb beast" and swiftly being cut off mid-sentence by Hulk bashing him around the room like a wet towel

Popsugar interview with Tom:

VIDEO-CLick to Watch!:

Favorite quotes?

"It's fun to be a box of cats."

and

"If someone can actually get through the sort of the leather and the metal and this sort of shell of anger that he has maybe they can like, give him a hug … I don't know."

Umm... I'll gladly get through the leather & metal and give him a hug

Me too But like I said, I think I could have gotten away with it in Thor, but in Avengers, he'd probably stab you through the back.

Still, worth a shot.

[Darkness Falls]

saw it today, wanted to let everyone here in the tom thread know, that he stole the movie as expected

[Godzilla2000]

Yeah, shake that sweet bum! That was my thrill of the day people.

[Scarlettess]

just saw the movie earlier today. Tom brings his A game and is phenomonal in this. Truly truly great. A bit dissapointed on how he's defeated but that's the only major problem I have with the movie really.

my favourite bit?:

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

there was a few, but when he's fighting Thor on the mountain, and Thor says " Listen closely brother!" and gets taken out by a certain someone and Loki just goes " I'm listening" Also the scene with Black Widow was amazing.

[Donstuie]

I have to admit that when I first heard about Hiddleston being cast as Loki in Thor, I was apprehensive (I had flashbacks to Wes Bentleigh in Ghost Rider for some reason). But he's nailed this character more than I could've hoped for.

I loved the way Loki was handled by the Hulk. The difference between Thor and Hulk was that Thor was still, stupidly, holding back when he fought Loki. Hulk wasn't. He just beat the **** out of him and left, as one would have expected. It could only have been better if, when the team returned, they had beaten Loki some more. Or at least let Hawkeye shoot an arrow in his knee.

In America nobody had ever heard of Tom Hiddleston at that time so I hadn't formed any opinion one way or the other about his effectiveness in the role. Same went for Chris Hemsworth. I only had a cursory knowledge of Thor and his universe anyways so portrayals were the last things on my mind. I was mostly thinking how in the world they could adapt that character successfully from the comics with all the "Thees" and "Thous" and make it appealing to a mass audience. Thankfully they were able to create a very solid, entertaining film from the source material.

[Hawkingbird]

I had never heard of them, but now I do, and I love them

[IronGirl299]

Watching it tomorrow night with a fellow Loki fangirl! Can't wait to see him kick butts...and to hear his voice

Yes, Marvel really did well in trusting the acting abilities of those two men with their respective characters. They were certainly pleasant discoveries, but those of you in Great Britain and Australia exposed to their talents early on respectively knew that already. Of course Tom Hiddleston excels as the sympathetic, realistically portrayed villain who's just makes some pretty bad life choices, but Chris Hemsworth does a very good job portraying Thor as the tough, strong willed yet paradoxically sensitive hero. You just believe that in the way they created their characters these are people that you can see as living human beings you can encounter in your life despite them being super powered beings. In short they're not your stereotypical, fictionally unreal comic book characters and more genuinely authentic entities.

I just read that interview posted above, and I find it interesting that Tommy's playing a vampire in his next movie. I hope it's going to be a good movie in that the Twilight movies did a disservice to the Vampire Romance genre in general, mostly because the source material was so poorly written. I also hope it will be good because as much as I like Johnny Depp movies, that Dark Shadows movie is a disappointment for me because it's being played as a campy excursion and less a tragic Gothic romance like the original Soap Opera was. It sounds to me like Tom's vampire movie will be what I was hoping Dark Shadows would have been.

[Rongxin]

Hiddleston and Atwell

[Godzilla2000]

Yes, we have seen these images already and we the fangirl legions just want to ignore they exist.

[psylockolussus]

Even though I liked Loki more in Thor, he was still good in the Avengers.

Looking forward to see him in Thor 2!

[Drummerdude7]

It's good that Loki is going to be around for a while. Each movie is getting a chance to show different facets and developments. Thor showcases his resentment and deceit, Avengers his megalomania and dreams of grandeur....who knows where they'll go with Thor 2.

Maybe his shame and remorse for his actions in the Avengers? I think more importantly I'd like to see how Odin reacts to Loki's emerged madness, megalomania and ruthlessness with the realization of how dangerous it is to the safety of the nine realms.

[Drummerdude7]

Personally I'd prefer if they waited a bit longer for his redemption phase. I think that he's going to be resentful and bitter that he lost, and probably terrified with the **** that's going to rain down from the heavens after what he failed to accomplish for a certain someone.

Considering it's rumored there's only going to be 3 movies in the series they can't be stretching that out too far though.

[Drummerdude7]

Well there's the Thor series and the Avengers series... a total of four more movies Loki can appear in at the very least, assuming there are 3 parts in each. If Thanos is involved in Avengers 2, you can be sure that Loki will have a part to play in that as well, along with Thor 2

Tom interview in EMPIRE MAGAZINE.
there's also other interviews with the other cast members on there too.

"It's part of the thrill of the character," Hiddleston explained of his ongoing sibling rivalry with Thor, dropping a firm hint that their relationship still has some distance to travel. "Thor and Loki are defined by each other. Thor's reason for being in The Avengers is that Loki is on Earth and he has to get him back. What'll be interesting in Thor 2 is how it takes what happens now as a springboard. Natalie Portman will be back in as Jane Foster and the relationship between Thor and Jane will be extended, expanded and developed."

A redemption theme may play into Loki's arc, too. "What Chris Hemsworth and I would love", expands Hiddleston, "is to be allowed is to have a moment - maybe not in Thor 2 but at some stage - when Loki is forgiven."
