Tom Hiddleston is set to star as Thor‘s nemesis in the upcoming Marvel comic movie, Thor. Here’s what he said about the role. 

Tom Hiddleston played the bad guy all the time when he was a kid. ‘Me, my sisters and my cousins would put these plays on at the end of the summer and I would always be Captain Hook,’ Tom told me.

‘Loki’s like a comic book version of Edmund in King Lear, but nastier,’ Tom observed.

How much nastier? ‘Well, Loki’s skilled in black magic and scorcery. He’s a shape-shifter and has all sorts of super powers from the dark arts. He can turn clouds into dragons, things like that.’

Between now and January, when Thor begins shooting, Tom has to keep himself fit and healthy.

‘Ken wants Loki to have a lean and hungry look, like Cassius in Julius Caesar. Physically, he can’t be posing as Thor.’

This is one of those movies that will really have to be right on the comic book money if people are going to buy it. These are some pretty big characters squeezed into a much smaller scale, hopefully they can pull it off.
