Tom Hiddleston as Thor? Need to know more

British actor Tom Hiddleston has won millions of hearts for his portrayal of God of Mischief Loki in MCU Thor since 2011. His strong acting skills made him a synonym with the character Loki, but that is not what he was hoping for when he auditioned for the role. 

Actually, it came to light that Tom actually auditioned for thor. Yes, it came as a shock to the rest of the world. The role went to Australian actor Chris Hemsworth who played the role spectacularly. 

In the video released on the YouTube channel, Marvel UK features Tom in one of his audition clips for the role of Thor. It also features Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios in some of his clips. In one of the clips Kevius states- “We were always putting our chips on Loki, we believed in him as a character… Had Tom (Hiddleston) not brought him into life as the audience responded to, it probably wouldn’t have gone anywhere”

It also shows other makers sharing their views on how Tom Hiddleston would be as Thor. As Tom prepares himself to audition you can even see him in one clip with Thor’s hammer. One of the makers says- “At first when Tom was up for Thor, he trained, he came in he was ripped…he did a tremendous job, but he wasn’t Thor. From the moment he came in and read though, he was Loki.”

Back in 2019, during his appearance on ‘The Tonight Show’ Starring Jimmy Fallon, tom hiddleston confessed to auditioning for the role of Thor. The actor said, “Basically, at the time, they were looking for sort of less well-established actors so that the audience didn’t have an association. They just wanted people to see these new characters, these new actors. And the agreement was, if you’re over 6 foot and you’ve got blond hair, you can come and have a pop at it. So I never auditioned for Loki. I only ever auditioned for Thor, which is nuts.”

However, he got the role of Loki in all 6 movies under MCU. Along with appearing spin-off of the web series Loki released on Disney+ Hotstar.
