“Those are all characters that are about control and revenge,” Hiddleston said, adding, “I might just love those performances as a child. … I just was so drawn to those performances as they seemed to be having such a wonderful time playing these antagonists, I suppose. And that was part of the charm. They were so charismatic, even though they weren’t at the centre of those films.”
Despite his minor presence in the “Thor” and “Avengers” films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Loki took the spotlight with the debut of his spin-off series “Loki” on Disney+ in June 2021. Hiddleston’s compelling portrayal of the antihero throughout two seasons, as he embarked on an epic journey spanning space and time, contributed to Loki’s widespread popularity and endearment among fans.
