Thor 2: The Dark World is less than one month away and Disney has just released a new behind the scenes featurette, focused on fan favorite Loki. The new video features cast interviews with Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth, behind the scenes footage, as well as actual clips from the film. One of those clips show Loki attacking Thor. SPOILERS BELOW!
Many have questioned if the Thor and Avengers' villain Loki will be redeemed in the new film. Where we will all have to see the film or read the spoilers on the internet to truly know, new footage has popped up that shows the Prince of Mischief attacking his brother. The scene, included in the new featurette, shows Loki attacking his brother as the movie's villain Malekith the Accursed watches. However, the very same feature shows Loki also fighting Malekith. Of course, with Loki you can never tell what's real or illusion.
Tom Hiddleston spoke with the Daily Beast while filming about the character:
''Well inevitably Loki’s back in Asgard. That’s where everybody saw him go with Thor at the end of Avengers in Central Park. And what’s exciting about this film is that it depicts the aftermath of those events and you get to see the opinion of certain principle characters in Asgard. You get to see every character’s perspective on what Loki did and they tend to be different and disparate and varying in tone and empathy, certainly. But it’s exciting. It is. It’s a springboard. It’s a springboard into a new chapter. It means, as an actor, I’m not repeating myself in any way. Because the last time Loki was in Asgard was at the end of Thor when he let go of the spear and he disappeared into a wormhole of space and time, then he spent a degree of time on Earth and tried to destroy New York, and now he’s back in Asgard a different being and therefore the chemistry he creates just by being back here is unpredictable and fantastic."
Hiddleston went on to discuss his new take on the character and the films darker tone:
"I think that’s our privilege with being allowed to make it is that we’ve established, certainly with Thor and Loki, we’ve established the characters across two films so it means you can color in more shades with each character. It means that Thor can get darker as a character and more complicated. It means that Loki can get even more complexity and dimension, which really is the most interesting thing about being alive is that there is no black and white, there are shades of grey and different peoples perspectives on events.''
