Tom Hiddleston "“ Thor To Loki!
Tom Hiddleston's Loki is undoubtedly the most popular supervillain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is a true exception in the franchise where no baddie is as popular as a superhero. Even though Hiddleston has impressed us more than Chris Hemsworth has as Thor, he was originally a candidate for the superhero's role!
The English actor was one of the few alongside Hemsworth brothers (Chris and Liam), Alexander Skarsgård and Charlie Hunnam to have been shortlisted for the role of the Norse God of Thunder. With just six weeks of time in hand, Hiddleston managed to build up a decently ripped body for the audition. Here's what Craig Kyle, executive producer of Thor movies, said about the actor's audition for the role of the Marvel superhero (via Yahoo Movies):
"At first Tom came in for Thor. He trained. He came in. He was ripped. He did a tremendous job, but he wasn't Thor."
You can easily assume what they found in him instead of Thor! Check out the video that bears audition footages of Tom Hiddleston which is one of the special features on the DVD/Blu-ray release of the first sequel "“ Thor: The Dark World!
