Loki Was Cut Out To Avoid Confusion!

Well before Age of Ultron finished shooting, word got out that Tom was spotted on the set of the movie. In a recent interview with Digital Spy, Tom Hiddleston said that his Loki was a ‘part of the dream sequence’ of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Thus, all the time he needed to shoot the scene was just a single day. According to the actor, that was an extremely enjoyable day. However, later on, he came to know that the audiences in the test screenings have misinterpreted the scene and ‘over-emphasized Loki’s role’ in the Joss Whedon flick. He explained:

“They thought that because I was in it I was controlling Ultron, and that it was misbalancing people’s expectations.”

Kevin Feige and Whedon felt that the sequence was ‘confusing people’ for which they decided to cut it off eventually. That might seem to be a real absurd reason if you are a Loki fan but to be honest their perspective is quite understandable.

Until now, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for bringing just one totally awesome villain – obviously, Loki. Having him in a dream sequence involving the Infinity Stones in a movie about a robot trying to take over the world would have certainly make the people believe that the God of Mischief had something to do with it.

Add the fact that he was the previous owner of the Staff (which basically created Ultron) and we can totally understand why the director cut the character out of the movie. But there is more about Loki – check out the next page too and see when we can expect (or not) to see him next!
