Like the Disney show + LokiAs Thor’s mischievous brother takes off, star Tom Hiddleston took viewers on a journey detailing five key moments from his Marvel Cinematic Universe character’s past to celebrate the new series.
Hiddleston selected each of his “Essential Loki Moments,” spanning Phase One through Phase Three of the MCU, on a recent IMDb episode. “What to see. “
Starting with the reveal in 2011 Thor Since Loki is not the true son of Odin, but was in fact adopted after Odin’s victory over the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, Hiddleston delves into the emotional underpinnings of his character. “I knew this was an important scene,” he said. “It seemed to be the turning point for the character. It was … such an emotional and profound change of fortune.” In the events following the devastating revelation of his adoptive father, Loki takes Odin’s throne and offers it to his biological father, Laufey, the leader of the Frost Giants.
Moving to the Avengers (2012), in which Black Widow confronts Loki in an attempt to extract information, Hiddleston had the following to say: “It was such a well-written scene because it’s almost a game of chess and you think Loki is winning, but it’s actually Black Widow. Who has the upper hand and she cheated on him. ” The imprisoned God of Mischief realizes that he has been tricked into divulging his secret plan to escape by exploiting the Hulk, the “monster” who strikes Loki during the climax.
Next on Hiddleston’s list was the scene where Thor visits his foster brother in the Asgardian dungeons in Thor: The Dark World. “I love that scene because when Thor comes to visit Loki in the dungeons, he has literally created the illusion of being okay, and Thor calls out to him,” he said. “Thor and Loki seem to exist right now on completely opposite ends of the spectrum, and yet both have somehow been linked by grief for their mother.” Thor makes a deal with Loki, allowing him temporary freedom and the opportunity to avenge his mother, Frigga.
The memorable “Get help!” scene in 2017 Thor: Ragnarok it was Hiddleston’s fourth choice. Though said to be absent from the script, the “completely improvised” moment provides an explosion of comic relief amid Thor’s escape from the planet Sakaar. As Hiddleston said, “It all came from [director] The brilliant and inventive imagination of Taika Waititi. Taika came in the morning and said, ‘I think it would be a lot of fun if, instead of walking into the room, I pretended it’s like a game they played when they were kids.’ “Loki helps Thor steal a ship, though the God of Thunder leaves behind his treacherous brother.
Hiddleston’s final selection is at the opening of Avengers: infinity war. Thanos forces Loki to choose between Thor’s life and the infinite energy of the Space Stone. Despite his noble attempt to trick Thanos and save his brother, Loki is killed by the brute. “I found it very moving actually, because I guess Loki’s journey through the Thor movies and the first Avengers is about the complexity of being an Odinson. And the fact that he refers to himself that way in front of his brother and tries to save his life seemed like a really moving way to go out. “
The Loki The series takes place in Phase Four of the MCU, after the events of 2019. Avengers Endgame, in which an alternate version of the character creates a new timeline. The series shows Loki “time variant” in his travels through time and his dealings with the Time Variation Authority.
