Tom Hiddleston

There was a lot riding on Tom Hiddleston being the Big Bad in Marvel’s tent-pole Thor earlier this year, but that’s nothing compared to the weight on his shoulders for doing the same thing in The Avengers in four and a bit months time.

That’s some vote of confidence in the 30-year-old English posh boy (he was schooled at Eton and studied Classics at Cambridge before enrolling with RADA) who began his film career ten years before as “phone operator” in 2001’s Conspiracy .

When Dave Golder interviewed Hiddleston for this website in April, it became one of the most popular videos we’ve ever done. By far. “This guy is the type of person that just makes me want to get violently sexual,” was typical of the comments we received from women going gooey for the slight, well-spoken, cheekily-grinning thesp. His Loki pretty much upstaged Chris Hemsworth Thor, which was no mean feat as Hemsworth’s Thor was pretty spot on, too.

What should he do next? More Loki we hope, in Thor 2 and The Avengers 2 . And judging from the reaction of our female readers, a flash of six-pack wouldn’t go amiss.
