Tom Hiddleston: Loki Redux

[Anubis]

It's like killing roaches......rats really. I mean they are mammals.

[Lei D Loki]

True, true. Even the Christian God did not hesitate to wipe out the human race except for a few.

Off topic: There's an interview with Tom with the New York Times in Madrid. Here's the link for anyone interested: http://www.timestalksmadrid.com/

He talked about Loki, of course and how he got the job.

I'd add Loki dying in some manner as a means of redemption in there.

There was a lot of talent involved in "The Avengers," but I think the guy who came out of nowhere, so to speak, and developed the most rabid fanbase was Tom Hiddleston. Has the immense reaction to his portrayal opened up the possibilities for the future of the character?
I’ve been surprised and happy that so many cast members and characters have gotten that response. Hiddleston is a case in himself. We discovered that when we were going around the world promoting the movie, in Moscow and in the the U.K. and in Rome, and all these people behind the barricades at the premieres were holding “Loki’s Armies” signs or wearing homemade helmets with horns on it. We sat around years ago saying we needed a villain in the MCU, as complex and dynamic as Magneto is. Magneto is one of the best villains in both the comics and in the movies. The way that Tom brought Loki to life, with all of those different emotions and up to Hulk smashing him into the ground, we’re already having fun with Tom on the set of "Dark World." We hope to have that continue. Even if you didn’t read comics or weren’t versed in mythology and had no idea who Loki was -- and he’s kind of out there with his big horns -- they responded to him, particularly women. Tom is an amazing looking specimen but also because of that darkness, I think they find a sexiness with him as a badboy.

Rabid fan base is right.

Article on Tom:

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/...mption-in-loki

Article is from before he'd seen the script for Thor 2, but he does say this on his thoughts regarding it:

Hiddleston will reprise the role for next year’s sequel, “Thor: The Dark World,” directed by Alan Taylor (“Game of Thrones”). Will Loki finally find redemption?

“I hope so, I really hope so,” Hiddleston said. “I hope you can see glimmers of it in ‘The Avengers.’ There’s a bit where we’re on the tower and Thor’s like, ‘Look around. You don’t have to do this.’ I think he’s probably going to get a hiding when he goes back home. I think his father’s going to have a few things to say. … Grounded for a long time. I haven’t read a script yet, but I know that we certainly can’t recycle what we’ve done. Loki, I think, has been about as bad as he can be.”

[Lei D Loki]

It did seem to me that during the tower fight, that Loki was being honest when he said it was too late. I don't think he really meant too late to stop the army. I think he meant it's too late for him and its too late to stop Thanos since he already made a deal with Thanos and made Thanos aware of Earth.

Loki is in some deep deep **** and he knows it but being a prideful godling I really don't think he'd ask anyone's help.

But when Thanos comes, then everyone is going to know anyway...

I want Loki calling people mewling quims

NOOOOOOOOOOO I don't want a good Loki. I still want to see him doing, evil Loki things -_-

I don't think making Thanos aware of Earth is what is "too late" I think its the fact that he aided Thanos in whatever he plans to do

He doesn't have to be good. He can be like Gollum in Return of the King. Cooperative, but still shady.

[Godzilla2000]

So...any images of Loki's costume for the sequel yet? I'm liking what I've seen so far of Sif's and Thor's costumes.

[ericadawn16]

They seem to be keeping Loki under lock and key...

Literally and figuratively speaking?

I'm thinking though that they haven't filmed any scenes that require Loki in them. Remember the movie is called Thor. I'm guessing that Loki's not quite the warrior type so he'd stay as far away from combat as he can. Judging by his combat experience in Avengers he'll be thinking the battlefield is not to his liking.

Still I'd love to see what his costume looks like. I mean his Avengers costume was such a beautiful piece of art to me the costume designer will really have to pull out all the stops in this one. And if judging by the images of Sif and Thor's costume is to be trusted they'll hopefully make we Loki fans all happy.

I don't think so. I think its simply scenes haven't been filmed with him yet.

Don't forget, the movie is called Thor: The Dark World, Not Thor and Loki: The Dark World, or Loki: Redemption

god forbit

[Godzilla2000]

Hey, you never know, they might just give Loki his own spin off movie or something.

I would actually be slightly shocked if they don't eventually. Loki is kinda really popular; if his arc in Thor 2 and 3 is a redemptive one and he lives, he could totally get a "Loki, Asgardian outcast" spinoff movie.

He has been in two films and he has fought quite a bit in both. Now granted there will probably be story reason for why he doesn't fight all that much if at all in this film, but I don't think it is because it doesn't agree with him.

I wonder if he will even have a costume if not rags if he is being punished hehe...

Or wearing the same armor from The Avengers but banged up and broken/dirtied at places. IMO that would be cool to see if Thor/Odin has him imprisoned and being punished. But I did love Loki's costume in his past two films and do kinda hope for a surprise in this one.

*raises hand* ohhh...ohhhh... can I vote for shirtless if he's being punished?!?!?!

*COUGH* Sorry, raging fangirl outburst there... couldn't rein it in before it slipped out

For your sake, I hope it comes to pass.

If Loki were in prison in Asgard. How do you think he'll be treated? What would his prison be like? What does prisoners in Asgard wear?

Hopefully they're forced to not wear shirts...

sorry... I'm really on one for some reason

hahaha, yeah, Lei D Loki did give you the straight line for that.

Well, the best I can do for you is this pic of Loki on the Isle of Silence: http://www.dvdizzy.com/images/a-c/avengers1-06.jpg

BTW, it's amazing how many hits to franchises *other* than that of "Thor" a Google search of "prisoner asgard" will turn up. . . .


Update! Loki shirtless (but not a prisoner): http://marvel.wikia.com/File:Lorelei...616%29_001.jpg

And here's Loki from myth, imprisoned, receiving the venom-drip punishment someone was talking about here, and, um, not wearing a shirt: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2zSdrUBYTt...nt_of_Loki.jpg (that's his wife Sigyn sparing him from most of the venom)

And it's getting even worse when you misspell it 'Assguard'

Isn't Tom extremely skinny right now?
