Loki Tom Hiddleston
Thor: The Who's Who | Loki Thor: The Who's Who | Tom Hiddleston
Who's He?
Thor's evil half-brother, the God of Lies and Mischief. Half-giant (though normal-sized), Loki is constantly plotting to kill his older, more noble brother, or steal his powers, or kill him, then steal his powers, or steal his powers, then kill him. Basically, Loki and Thor are like super-powered versions of the Gallaghers. Imbued with wide-ranging powers (he's ace at magic, he can shapeshift, is wicked smart and can even survive having his head cut off), Loki is also one suave mother, with his green costume, crowned by a headpiece that curves into two giant horns, the talk of the Asgardian fashion world.
Who's He?
Not to be confused with the Spurs and England midfielder. That's Tom Huddleston. Though, just to confuse matters further, Tom Hiddleston is also English. The London-born 27 year-old is a stage veteran and first came to Kenneth Branagh's attention when he played his sidekick on the detective mini-series, Wallender. His movie career has been less than glorious so far ­ he's only done one movie, 2007's Unrelated ­ but that should change post-Thor.

1 Sean Connery
Posted on Wednesday November 25, 2009, 20:56 by Irons
Sean Connery should have been Odin. He was born for this role. Read More

2 Kevin McKidd...
Posted on Tuesday November 24, 2009, 20:12 by carlotta_valdes
...has got to be in this film. A reuniting of warriors Vorenus and Pullo (Stevenson) from Rome! Maybe as Heimdall?...Sif's brother and guardian of the Rainbow bridge. If you're reading Mr Branaugh please consider him! Read More

4 YAY for casting Ray Stevenson
Posted on Friday November 20, 2009, 23:47 by wingit4me
The last time Mr Branagh put Mr. Stevenson in one of his movies he WAS the comic relief (the bedroom scene in "Theory of Flight" is hilarious)... and Ray can do both comedy and baddassery. Read More

5 Ray Stevenson!

Excellent casting-anything Ray is in, I am there! Read More

7 cracking cast
Posted on Thursday November 19, 2009, 17:00 by DANGEROSS!
stevenson and hopkins - frickin' perfect!!!!!!! hoping townsend pulls it off as well. quite right empire - good actor but bad choices. shooting fish was good mind. anyway i can't wait and so far very well planned and casting. i still think kevin mckidd would be a better thor. as for avengers paul walker has to be captain america.

9 Stevenson

God, Ray Stevenson was PERFECT as Frank Castle and they really need to do a follow up Punisher movie with him in the lead again. Read More

before on other threads, Brannagh is perfect for this film, casting is perfect, and so looking forward to this, huge Thor fan as a child in the 70's and 80's.t="trebuchet ms"] forward to this more than any other upcoming Marvel film, and it will be their 'Lord of the Rings' t="trebuchet ms"] ait for this and the full Avengers film.

13 Intresting Bunch.
Posted on Wednesday November 18, 2009, 17:36 by joanna likes films
Never read the comics but this has certainly sparked a intrest. The cast is a unusual bunch from upcomers to resecpted actors, directed by a great Brittish actor and out in two years time. Well, it will be great to check out the next batch of news like pictures and the first ever trailer, gonna look out for this one. It's great that Empire tells us who is who, loving Stevenson's character! But yep, going to be one to go and see. Read More

Nice feature! Read More

15 It's No Iron Man Cast.....
Posted on Wednesday November 18, 2009, 16:44 by Blyman
All I can think about is that if Thor is supposed to appear in an Avengers movie next to Iron Man, then Chris Hemsworth will look tame standing next to RDJ. Where's the WW2 set Captain America film with Leonardo Dicaprio? Dicaprio and RDJ (and maybe Norton if Hulk appears) sounds more like it. I'm finding it hard to get excited about a superhero with a big hammer, I'd rather have a flying suit with missles myself....... Read More
