Tom Hiddleston’s Loki entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe with 2009’s Thor, and twelve years later, the character is all set to start his sequence on June 9. But do you know that Tom initially auditioned to play Thor?
In an interview with Jimmy Fallon in 2019, Tom revealed that he had by no means really auditioned for the function of Loki and that his three-month audition course of earlier than the primary Thor movie tried to get the function of God of Thunder. Was getting it completed.
Tom Hiddleston shared, “Basically, at the time, they were looking for less well-established actors so that audiences didn’t engage. They just wanted people to see these new characters, these new actors. And the compromise was, if you’re over 6 feet and you have blond hair, you can come and have a pop in it. So I never auditioned for Loki. I only auditioned for Thor, which is crazy.”
Thor director Kenneth Branagh additionally talked about auditioning in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. He stated, “Tom gives you the impression that he can be up to anything performance-wise. Tom has a wild imagination, so does Loki. He has a mischievous sense of humor and a knack for playing Were ready. It felt like he had a star personality, but he was a team player.”
Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson starrer Loki begins streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar from June 9.
