Tom Hiddleston shares portraying Loki means so much to him

The actor has been playing the character of Loki for almost a decade, but he remains very fond of playing him on-screen every time he gets the opportunity and about the same, he said during the press conference for Loki,

“There’s no question that the reason I am allowed to continue to play him is because he clearly means so much to so many people and for so many different reasons. And that is incredibly gratifying for me. And I see that as a-a big honor.”

Tom Hiddleston continued to share via Inside the Magic,

“I think over time, I’ve been made aware of the different things that he represents for people. Some people enjoy his playfulness and his spontaneity and that inherent sense of mischief that he has. Some people enjoy his kind of quality as an antagonist. Some people probably can’t stand him. I don’t know, but I know there are some people who are drawn to his vulnerability and underneath all those layers of charm and charisma and playfulness is a kind of vulnerability, I suppose.”

Hiddleston notes that he is always ready to play God of Mischief on-screen.

Tom Hiddleston on Loki finding a new family in the TVA

The Disney+ series Loki 2 is set to showcase the audience’s devious side of the character; a side audiences love and expect to see from the character along with the fact that he is going to step into the heroic position. Tom Hiddleston shared with Marvel.com;

“Loki always struggled with family in the MCU, but he’s found a new family in the TVA. In the breakdown of understanding himself and having his sense of self opened up, broken down, and rebuilt by Mobius and his colleagues at the TVA, there’s a new awareness and a capacity to connect with other people.”

The actor concluded that if season 1 of Loki was about self-awareness and self-acceptance for him, then season 2 is about taking responsibility and trying to find a new purpose. He added that maybe there’s more burden and less glory in the purpose this time for Loki.

Loki 2 is streaming on Disney+.
