The last time we checked in on “Thor 2,” it seemed as though Marvel had found its Kenneth Branagh successor in “Game Of Thrones” director Brian Kirk. As intriguing as that prospect is, it might not be the case. Yet.
When MTV News caught up with “Thor” and “Avengers” star Tom Hiddleston yesterday to talk about the “Thor” Blu-ray release (out September 13), I asked if he’d had any interaction with Kirk, and he revealed that the “Thor 2” director’s chair has not officially been filled.
“I haven’t. I also don’t know that that’s actually confirmed,” he said. “That’s not me being coy. I spoke to Kevin Feige last week on [“The Avengers”] set and he said, ‘Oh no, we haven’t got anyone yet. We’re thinking about people,’” Hiddleston recalled. “I think [Kirk’s] name is definitely in the hat, but I don’t think anything is solid.”
So when do they plan on shooting the sequel?
“I think probably next spring is the idea because the release date is locked down,” he said, adding that the storyline for the film will still likely pick-up from where “The Avengers” leaves off.
Speaking of which, given what we know about Loki’s shenanigans in the ensemble film, we asked Hiddleston how different the Asgardian prince will be from who he was in “Thor” to who he becomes in “Thor 2.”
“In ‘The Avengers’ he’s really dark and kind of sociopathic, or maybe even psychopathic is the word, in a deluded way,” he explained. “Obviously I haven’t let go of the spiritual damage at the heart of him, it still comes from that lost place, but he’s just incredibly nasty. I think that probably in ‘Thor 2’ his previous actions will, he’ll have to take responsibility for what he’s done.”
“The great thing about Loki is there is potential in him for greatness and awfulness, for great heroism and great villainy,” Hiddleston continued. “There are still, even within ‘The Avengers,’ there are moments where you see within Loki a glimmer of hope and that possibility of redemption.”
He went on to say that the grey area in the degree of Loki’s villainy makes the acting a lot more fun.
“It makes it fun to play and it makes it fun for the audience,” he said. “Nobody is black and white, there are shades of grey in all of us. We all have potential for greatness and we all have flaws. I for one am championing the redemption,” he added hopefully, along with a wish for a future Thor and Loki action scene: “This isn’t definitely going to happen, but I think there would be nothing more awesome than seeing Loki and Thor fight somebody side by side.”
I guess there are just a lot of people in the world who feel they don’t belong anywhere. What happens after that is you have to manage that feeling. A lot of people have a positive response to that and they create their own community or their own family or whatever, you know. It doesn’t matter if you’re a refugee or if you’re adopted or whatever. But I think Loki’s response is tragically negative so he can only feel the pain of his sense of abandonment, his lack of belonging in a way. I’d like to think that somewhere down the line, there’s some redemption for him in a way. Somebody will say, “You know, Loki. You’re all right.”
You are so inspirational. I love you, Thomas William Hiddleston.

“I’d like to fight everybody who wants to make war on people. I’d like to fight bullies, actually. I’d like to stand up to the bullies in this world. I was actually mugged once in London, and I was completely defenseless. They came at me with a… I was held at knifepoint. And I felt so angry that I let them do it and I think I’d like to go back and say ‘Look, it’s okay’, and if they tried to stab me, I could just say ‘You can stop that now’.”

‘Thor’ is set for release on DVD and Blu-Ray September 13th in the US, and September 26th in the UK
How did you get involved to play Loki in this Marvel Universe, first off with ‘Thor’?
Tom Hiddleston: I was actually in a play with Kenneth Branagh in London, it was Anton Chekhov’s very first play, Ivanov, we were both acting in it. It was announced that Kenneth had got the job directing the film, and I was dressed as a Russian doctor from the 19th century, with a waistcoat, pocket-watch, a pair of wire rimmed glasses, and a goatee beard, and I went up to his dressing room with a massive empty water cooler, pretending it was Mjolnir and pretending I was Thor. We he saw me he said to me, ‘don’t joke, you never know,’ (laughs). Then cut to four months later I was in LA, I got called into audition, then further down the line I got the part, after about four months of auditioning and screen-testing, trying to impress people (laughs).
How was that working with Kenneth Branagh as a director?

Gabriel: You didn’t go to law school?
Patrick: Shhh. I’ll tell you about it later.
Gabriel: You didn’t even pass the bar?
Patrick: I didn’t do any of it. You brought me in.
Gabriel: What?
Patrick: It’s on you!
