I love how Tom Hiddleston is completely aware that Marvel tries to kill Loki over and over and fans always go like "nahhhh he's alive"

he just remembers EVERYONE'S names, not just the big ones. what a prince.

Wouldn’t he make an amazing professor?

Thank god people didn't buy that Loki would be dead and essentially made Marvel change it. How they could just get rid of him so easily after how popular he was in The Avengers is beyond me. I'm so glad test audiences pushed for more of him and that Marvel did the intelligent thing and brought him back, talk about one of their best decisions.

i cannot imagine how many times he’s had to explain the same things about loki in all these interviews and yet he does it so passionately every time it’s amazing and i’m super hyped up for the series!!! 🖤💚

I can't get enough of this man, I could listen to him talking for hours!

I already loved this man, but the fact that he remembers and name checks the costume designers, concept artists, set designers etc make my art nerd/theater tech crew mom heart so freaking happy.

Now this is an actor who truly, truly understands his character

Loki's marketing is on whole another level

The strong in denial of Loki's demise will never die out. 😂 He ain't dead. He will forever not be dead.

Tom Hiddleston aka Loki’s biggest fan.

I felt that when he said “an ending is just a new beginning.”

I pressed like the moment Tom remembered the name of the Dark Elves homeworld. Shows just how much he cares for his character and the MCU.

"Loki's chaos is occasionally something we need"

I just love hearing Tom talk about Loki and his understanding of the character. It's obvious he loves his character and does the research not just from marvel comics but Norse mythology and I find that so amazing. It's probably why he's so perfect at playing Loki because he is so passionate.

Finally a long interview

Tom is such an absolute class act. He's so respectful of the whole cast and crew and so obviously grateful for his opportunities. what a great dude all around.

I love that Loki is still here because of the fans. He’s kind of a fan made character 😎 Also, Tom is absolutely perfect as Loki.

I absolutely love what he said about Loki’s chaos…sometimes we need chaos to do the right thing..not everything can be solved by rigid lines of good, laws etc…one sometimes needs to look outside the box

I love how he’s as big of a fan of the mcu as any casual fan and he knows all the names of the characters through the movies. What a guy

kinda feel like we got a lil bit of his Loki lecture😍 thnx for just letting him take his time n talk cause in those 5 min junkets arent long enough for Tom he gives very thoughtful and usually long answers. N so the 5 min ones he always seems like he has more to say ❤

Oh good. Is this the 6 hour Loki symposium? * settles in * 🍿📝

I’m so happy they cast Tom as Loki and not Thor. I can’t imagine anyone else as him

tom hiddleston is one of those people that literally nobody can hate. it’s impossible to dislike him

I’ve always been smitten with him and his enthusiasm but when he mentioned that he looked up mischief in the dictionary, holy hell this is what true diligence and passion is.

I could listen to this man talk for hours. What a beautiful human he is

From around 17:15 onwards, when Tom Hiddleston starts talking about Loki's place at the table of the gods, it became incredibly obviously apparent that he's read Lokasenna, and the Norse myth nerd in me started geeking out, hard!

Trust me Tom. I think that 80% of the audience see that goodness in Loki, we also see his bad side. That's why we refuse to let him die. Like... We need that little bit of chaotic evil/neutral/sometimes good that he brings to the table and that I haven't find in any other character.

I would listen to Tom Hiddleston's 10-hour Oral History of the MCU. What a great actor with a calm demeanor and an amazing voice.

Tom is extremely eloquent and cultivated. I love the lack of "aahh" and "uuhhs" every 2 words. No wonder he's such a great actor.

It's amazing to see how well Tom understands Who Loki is and how he should be played. He has put an indelible stamp on this character and I hope he does not get tired of playing this Loki,I am willing to pay to see him for many more years to come.

He talks so down to earth. If you listen to him, you can feel that he is a human like all of us and not a super untouchable star.

I love how much he loves talking about Loki, like he does SO many of these interviews haha

We're all very fortunate to watch Tom Hiddleston in the process of creating one of the all-time great characters of either theater or cinema. He is simply brilliant.

the only man ever that could do loki justice

Marvel also probably realized they couldn't kill off Loki and go with the Ragnarok theme because Loki is central to Ragnarok. Honestly I want Loki to exist forever.

Still couldn't quite believe Professor Lockhart directed Thor

The amount of times this man has probably had to act out dying in this single universe is probably hysterical

You can not ever get tired of this man. His way of speaking, his mannerisms, his aura, his...everything.

The power of the "trickster" in literature has never before been represented so acutely. Its reputation alone literally trolled Kevin Feige into resurrecting the character representing it.

Tom’s intimacy with others is admirable. He takes the time to learn and get to know someone. I love that he doesn’t make anyone feel lesser bc they don’t play a more recognizable part in films. That speaks volumes about his character (although there’s so much to love about him w/o looking deeper into things). I’ve learned a lot from Tom (:

The mischievous music change when Tom says”Where’s Loki?” about TDW cracks me up every time. Never get tired of listening to him talk about Loki.

"You Mewling Quim" .... i mean... if ever there was a line to be delivered by an angry god, It's Loki

It’s a good point that Loki has probably always felt different, even before knowing he wasn’t Asgardian. If you don’t know why you feel this why, it can be quite frightening, especially if your family is pretending nothing’s wrong. And then finding out the truth at the 11th hour would certainly be traumatizing. Moral of the story, don’t lie to your kids. ;)

It's so crazy, I ended up reading the Kid Loki comics right after Avengers came out and understood that Loki was more than a villain and that in the comics, his last hurrah before he becomes Kid Loki is sacrificing himself to save Asgard. He was never just a villain, he is a true anti hero. He plays both sides and he loves his adopted family even if there is jealousy and pain in not being related by blood. Thor's never ending acceptance to bring him back if he is willing to fight alongside him is exactly what he needs. There are times in the comics when Thor himself acts villainous and plain rude to Loki. There is even a time when Loki becomes worthy of Mjolnir because of it but when the spell on Thor wears off he can no longer hold it and Thor has no memory of it so he tells him he is just lying as usual. It's so hard to watch his journey from Kid Loki to Agent of Asgard because there is SO MUCH self hate and a lot of the time, he is left to deal with these intense feelings alone. But he makes friends and he starts to reinvent himself and realize that he doesn't need to be held back by his mistakes. He can have an awful, painful past but the future is for him to decide. Loki is the one telling the story. And the Agent of Asgard comics end with Loki confronting the worst version of himself and what does he do? He walks over to him and he forgives him. He understands how things ended up that way and that even the most "evil" version of himself just wanted to prove he was worth something underneath it all. Loki has grown as a character in the comics just as he has grown on screen. It's crazy to reflect on everything that has happened from Thor 2011-now. There is something incredibly empowering to see Loki go through so much and still find a reason to try and learning to love yourself is HARD but to see someone as messy and broken as Loki do it is incredibly moving. It's important to tell your story and remember that it's never too late to start over. This is not the story of a villain or a God who has it all figured out. There is something incredibly human about Marvel's Loki. Loki is trying to do the best he can, just like the rest of us.

I didn't accept Loki's death either. The "Get help" scene was the best scene of the entire MCU!

I find it cool that Tom's been playing seminal characters from plays his whole life but he's also forming the definitive depiction of Loki which people will remember for decades to come

Tom remembering the names of the whole film crew of Thor 10 years later is amazing.

I love Tom Hiddleston so much

Tom Hiddleston would be an amazing narrator. You realize as you're watching this video that you could probably listen to him forever lol

What Tom said about Loki has made me find redemption in this quality of chaos and mischief I got from my dad. I feel in every ancient God there’s always force of change..for that I love Tom for playing this character. What a sweet warm generous soul.

Imgaine wanting to play Thor in a movie but instead you end as one of the best villain/anti-hero in history

Tom always give credits to the makers... he's the best... ❣❣

the way he talks about loki shows how much he loves him and that’s all i need to know to live a peaceful life.

He is a certified Marvel dork!!! He knows and remember the name of all behind the scenes people!!!

Loki has such an amazing range; playful, witty, charismatic, charming and fun. Tom may have been describing Loki but from what I can tell is those seem to be the characteristics of The Great Tom Hiddleston. I feel like the role of Loki could have been a semi minor role that may have dissipated through the evolution of the MCU but Tom made it something so much more!!! Loki the series is fantastic and I am so excited to see every episode!!! Tom and Sophia are fabulous together!

So sad for the generations that doesn't / didn't get to experience Tom Hiddleston.

We are so freaking lucky to have this man

love a man who talks with his hands ♥️

Marvel fans just won't let Loki be dead 🤣

There will never be another Loki like Tom. Only variants 😜

I always find it charming and endearing when an actor enjoys taking ownership of a long-running character as much as we enjoy watching them inhabit it. Actors seem to me to be artistic hobo's; making us love characters only to plop it on a shelf and grab a spot on the next train. Although I totally understand this professionally, when an actor holds on to a character and carries it along with them, it's extra special because here is a friend that I thought I would be forced to leave behind, and now I don't have to. There's a shared love of that friend. Actors like Tom with Loki, Anthony Daniels with C3-PO, Leonard Nimoy with Spock, etc, make deeply enjoying those characters "safe", because I know they won't let them simply fade away. Even if they're not actively playing those characters anymore, I want them to continue loving them as much as I do. They can hop any boxcar they like then, and I know our mutual friend is safely stowed in their pocket.

Marvel just has a knack for making good decisions (such as listening to the fans about Loki).

Awesome video! Loki and Bucky are my 2 favourite characters and like Tom Hiddleston auditioning for Thor and getting cast as Loki, Bucky also auditioned for the part of Steve Rogers and got cast as the darker character of Bucky.

I love you, Tom Hiddleston!

He's so perfect, he even pronounces mischievous correctly. Most people pronounce it mis-CHEE-vee-ous, not MIS-chi-vous.

Tom is the biggest fan of Loki and i'm in love with that

He remembers all the names, thats incredible..i dont remember what day is it

this was so entertaining to listen to..all the behind the scenes work that goes into creating these worlds that have captivated us for years..he's so humble and talented

You know, Tom said that Loki faked his death in Dark World but they never said Loki faked the attack or wound…. Now I know why that scene always baffled me because it looked so damn sincere to the be “faked”. And apparently, that’s because it wasn’t lol

Loki is a complex character, and when the chips are down, he can do the right thing sometimes, and he can show loyalty to the Asgardians or his brother Thor when they have a common enemy, such as in Ragnorak or Endgame. In his Loki series, he shows loyalty to Sophie, and some kind of friendship to Owen Wilsons' character towards the end of the Loki series. Fun to watch, as Loki is a lot of things.

This interview brought me lots of comfort

The Lokiverse grows more mischevious with every appearance!!!

this guy is the perfect cast for loki. the way he deliver his words is captivating and "mischievous". also his body language is amazingly on point. amazing actor.

kenneth branagh and tom hiddleston worked on wallander together in the early 2000s. i didn't know branagh directed thor, i'm guessing he had a sense that hiddleston would do well as loki and had something to do with him being brought on board.

its because the script and your (Tom Hiddleston) performance was far to memorable. People connected with Loki, they loved him, no one was ready to say goodbye to him yet. I remember even watching the movie when he got stabbed I was thinking "He Better NOT be dead!!". At the end I kept thinking, "They better show us what REALLY happened to Loki" and thank god they chose to alter the story to keep Loki in!! Come "Infinity War" I thought the exact same thing again! And thank goodness in "End Game" you see Loki grab the Tesseract, instantly telling us fans "Don't worry, Loki is ok" :-) Now I am enjoying the show, and I hope it stayes on for many seasons!! I think for many people including me, Loki is the favorite Marvel Character period! (At least since the MCU anyway) Also... if they DID kill Loki in Thor 2... He wouldn't have been in Ragnarok... can you imagine Ragnarok (one of the best films period) without loki!?

It really caught me off guard how high his voice used to be way back in 2011... I'm the same age now as he was then

It's really interesting watching this interview after seeing the first two eps of "Loki." When Tom is talking about chaos and order at around the 18 minute mark, that's a central theme/element of the series, the philosophical drive behind Loki's actions. Loki embraces chaos, lives for chaos, but too much chaos spins out in to madness. as we've seen so far in the show. Tom's not spoiling here at all, he gives away no plot (but he is hinting directly at some of the show--Mobius and Loki discuss on screen the order/chaos stuff, and also talk about understanding people aren't truly good or truly bad, phrasing Tom uses at about 19:25). He's candidly talking about the thematic elements so beautifully. It makes me wonder if the series is going to also have Loki reflect on his relationships with his mother and brother, and maybe look at why his childhood was so traumatic (he's already started processing trauma when reading the report on the destruction of Asgard). That would explain why Owen Wilson went to "Loki school" to understand the psychological depths of the character. Why bother if you're not going to do a deep mental dive into it? Which so far the series is doing. At the end of the interview, when Tom talks about Loki being out of control, out of his comfort zone--it's all over the character and the series thus far. I think when he says "It's very confronting for [Loki]" to be in an uncomfortable situation, I think that's the thrust of the series. Tom Hiddleston is an absolute treasure. I wish him all the happiness and success his heart desires. He's a great actor, he has the sexiest voice, and he seems to have a compassionate, lovely personality. I bet he's a joy!

Let's face it: Tom Hiddleston is RDJ's successor as the center of the MCU. Or at least he should be. I think he would be too humble to describe himself as such, but there is no one left who has a greater screen presence. Sure you could argue a hero has to be at the center of a universe of superheroes, but Loki in his Series has appeared to have the capacity for genuine self-reflection and development. If it's true that Kang is the big bad in the series and will appear in Ant-Man and possibly other movies, then it would make for an interesting dynamic to have Loki at the center of the good guys trying to take down Kang. Will any of the Avengers forgive him for Coulson? If the series version of Loki ends up back in the present day with the TVA compromised and an uncertain future ahead as I suspect, and they need Loki to help defeat Kang, then the answer is they're going to have to try and work with him, forgiveness or not. Lots of interesting possibilities for the MCU if Tom Hiddleston is allowed to take on a major role in it.

This new Loki series is a real game changer in many ways... Such a great actor and character.

i could listen to this man talk forever

That moment when Hiddleston is so good as Loki that Marvel has to bring him back hahahah

I almost died today when I thought LOKI had finally died....but then I realized the word being used " PRUNING" well when you prune a plant 🪴 you repot the part of the shrub you clip off so thank goodness....LOKI LIVES!!! NOW SYLVIE JUST HAS TO COME SAVE HIM🥰

his brain is just fantastic i -

If they have killed Loki in Dark World I would have been so livid with Marvel. Like seriously, that would have been such a wasted opportunity to throw away for a villain redemption that was just primed and ready and begging to happen. Most audiences don’t always buy villain redemption arcs but this was one of those rare cases where the fans we literally *screaming* for an arc. Killings Loki off in Dark World would have ruined a lot of the best parts of Ragnorok and Infinity War. I am so glad they decided to take more time and care with Loki’s story and give it the attention he deserved because I don’t think the fans would have accepted it any other way. There are *still* fans who refuse to accept his death. Can you imagine if they had kept it to Dark World? An unfinished and spur of the moment redemptive act that gets him killed before anything of substance could play out? Personally, I don’t think I would have watched anymore Marvel films after that if that’s their idea of engaging story telling. As it is, I still don’t think they properly addressed all the issues between Loki and Thor BUT maybe this will change with the tv series. I really truly can’t imagine a Thor movie without Loki would be worth the price of a theater ticket. 🗡🐍✨💚💛

Oh wow, I cannot envision Tom Hiddleston as Thor at all, lol; on the other hand, the role of Loki was made for him, and he made it his own

Thanks for this really satisfying video, he really does justice to the long-form interview, he’s thoughtfully and intelligent and very interesting

Kenneth Branagh made the Asgardian royal family Shakespearean in nature and who other than him is better at that.

That is seriously awesome that he still remembers and mentions the design people in Thor (2011). Film is a collaborative process. ❤️

That means, we owe it to the test audience that there is Thor: Ragnarok in this version ... and that there is the series/show Loki. Haha. Thank you. ^^

I am in love with Loki

I'm not objective on this but, I think Tom is the only one who created Loki, I mean he wrote or rewrote the entire script about LOKI, not only played Loki. Ah come on, give this man the credits he deserves.

This man is pure beauty

My goodness. There's simply no other man that make me swoon so hard like Tom Hiddleston. A man so intelligent, kind, sensitive, diligent, hard working, elegant, passionate and funny! wooowwwiiieeee. He's gorgeous! His voice is extremely sultry. woooo...☺😊 my heart is bulging, it hurts! 😍😍😍

This man has an oscar coming!

God I LOVE hearing Tom talk. He could read the dictionary and I'd be listening to his every word...I'd learn every word lol

What a class act. Just finished Loki ep 4 and was enjoying interviews of Tom. He's just a really amazing actor along with being such a great human. Never stop Tom !! 💗

Tom Hiddleston is just amazing.stay safe

This man is perfect ❤️

Truely a brilliant actor.
