Tom Hiddleston says that fluid gender and sexuality were always a part of Loki.
Actor Tom Hiddleston recently opened up to Lily James about playing Loki, during Variety’s Actor on Actor series. He spoke at length about playing the character over the decades and opening up new layers of the character for the audience.
“Loki’s changed so much over the years for me. I was cast when I was 29, and I’m 41,” Hiddleston told James. The series that debuted earlier this year has made significant changes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as cracking open the multiverse and familiarizing the fans with the concept of variants - the same character from a different timeline.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Initially, with the wigs and the costume, I was always trying to break out of the mask. Let something honest come through. By the time we got to the series, Loki’s stripped of all the things that are familiar. Immediately, he’s literally stripped and put in a jumpsuit, and his status is gone. Everyone knows who the character is now. Let’s open him up and find new aspects of him and challenge the character to change and grow.
Another aspect that the show brought to us was Loki coming out as a bisexual. In Episode 3 Loki tells Sylvie that he’s had a romantic past with both princes and princesses. Although it was just a single line of dialogue, nonetheless, it opens up new avenues for the character and fans. “In the MCU. Back from my early days of researching the character in myths, the identity of Loki was fluid in every aspect. In gender, in sexuality.
Adding, “So it was an honor to bring that up. It was really important to me. It was really important to [director] Kate Herron and [showrunner] Michael Waldron, and I’m pleased that we could bring it into our story.” While we are yet to see how the storytellers choose to further Loki’s sexuality it was a breath of fresh air to finally see our favorite characters being more relatable than ever.
