Tom Hiddleston ‘Never Expected’ He’d Still Be Playing Loki 15 Years After ‘Thor’
As his career continues, Tom Hiddleston will always look back on 2011 as the year everything changed. He appeared in multiple high-profile films, including Steven Spielberg’s War Horse—and he also debuted the Marvel character he’s still playing 15 years later. Hiddleston has traced Loki’s unconventional villain-to-hero journey across Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and (very briefly) Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
