Hiddleston is well known for his portrayal of Loki in the 2011 Marvel Studios film Thor . He was invited to audition by Kenneth Branagh, the film's director, after having previously worked with Branagh on Ivanov and Wallander . Hiddleston said of Branagh, "Ken has had a life-changing effect. He was able to say to the executives, 'Trust me on this, you can cast Tom and he will deliver'. It was massive and it's completely changed the course of what is available to me to do. Ken gave me my break." [26] He originally auditioned for the role of Thor, recalling, "That was what I was being considered for, because I'm tall and blonde and classically trained, and that seemed to be the mold for what Thor was, he was to be a classical character. And it was in my auditions. I owe this entirely to Marvel and their open-mindedness, they saw something that they thought was interesting. They saw some temperament that they liked." [27] Hiddleston was given six weeks to bulk up, so he went on a strict diet and gained twenty pounds of muscle. [28] Branagh ultimately decided he was more suitable as the antagonist and cast him as Loki. Empire magazine ranked Hiddleston's portrayal of Loki as the 19th Greatest Movie Character of All Time. [29]

[80] Loki received generally favorable reviews, [81] [82] and on 14 July 2021 was officially renewed for a second season. [83] Michael Idato, reviewing for The Sydney Morning Herald concluded that "Hiddleston's performance as Loki has always been defined by its humour as much as its pathos. Both seem to be on display in equal measure in Loki." [84] TVLine named him "Performer of the Week" after first season ended, stating that "Hiddleston had to bring back a greedier, more insolent version of the God of Mischief, while also softening him enough. It was a delicate balance for the actor, and one he struck beautifully." [85] The second season of Loki premiered in October 2023.

In March 2021, it was announced that Hiddleston had joined the cast of the Apple TV+ drama series The Essex Serpent , based on the novel of the same name, by Sarah Perry.

Public image and acting style

[94] He has been named most stylish/best dressed man in several listings.

Kenneth Branagh noted that the first time he ever saw Hiddleston, playing Cassio in Othello , it was quite clear to him that he was an utterly naturalistic speaker of Shakespeare. [98] Michael Billington of The Guardian wrote that Hiddleston's key acting quality is "his ability to combine a sweet sadness with an incandescent fury, suggesting a fierce intellect gnawed by intense melancholy and yet subjecting to bouts of intemperate rage." [99] Charles McNulty of the Los Angeles Times describes Hiddleston as "an actor of uncommon intelligence and Pre-Raphaelite beauty." [100] Hiddleston spent nearly five weeks preparing for the role of Hank Williams, performing seven of the film's soundtrack songs. [101] He has stated that method acting is not easy for him because it does not help him as a collaborator. [102] The Daily Telegraph 's Dominic Cavendish suggested that Hiddleston "has got the theatrical acting chops to head up there among the greats", while The Independent 's Paul Taylor remarked that "his range is beginning to look pretty limitless". [103] David Fear of Rolling Stone opined that there are two sides to Hiddleston, the old-school movie star of Midnight in Paris , War Horse or The Night Manager , and the "unpredictable, borderline weirdo version" of him seen in characters like Loki or in High-Rise , adding that Hiddleston refuses to settle on one specific kind of role.

Mjölnir and Stormbreaker, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), are sentient enchanted weapons of choice used by Thor. Both are melee weapons and were created out of Uru metal forged with the heat of a dying star in the Dwarven kingdom of Nidavellir, with the assistance of the dwarf king and master weapon-maker Eitri. Mjolnir is a hammer, and was enchanted by Thor's father, Odin, so that only those the hammer deemed "worthy" are capable of wielding or even lifting it. Stormbreaker is an axe, and although it does not have such a worthiness enchantment, its power is such that a mere mortal attempting to wield it would be driven mad.
