Now that the Actors’ Strike is over, Marvel stars can officially talk about their projects, and Loki himself Tom Hiddleston didn’t waste any time. The longtime Marvel star appeared Friday night on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote the second season of Lok as well as the season finale that just aired yesterday. Fallon prodded Hiddleston to open up about the series and tease the season finale now that he can actually speak about it, and the
“If you haven’t seen it, I will not spoil it for you but I will say this, it all comes full circle,” Hiddleston teased about the Loki season 2 finale. “It’s the conclusion of season two. It’s also the conclusion to seasons one and two. It’s also the conclusion to six films and 12 episodes and 14 years of my life. I was 29 when I was cast, I’m 42 now. it’s been a journey. I do think in the finale there are echoes and resonances of every version of Loki that I’ve played. And I think, without spoiling, the episode is called ‘Glorious Purpose.’ If you remember in the first Avengers film, Loki comes down to Earth. Look straight at Sam Jackson. There’s Nick Fury and I say ‘I’m Loki of Asgard. I’m burdened with glorious purpose.’ And he’s arrogant and he’s hubristic and he’s entitled and is puffed up and he’s going to take over the world.

Hiddleston continued, “At the beginning of season one, Mobius, played by Owen Wilson, the best ever, he basically shows Loki that the glorious purpose was a fallacy and he gets kind of a second chance. And that I think was the most exciting thing about this show was seeing Loki try to rethink and rediscover that sense of purpose, which we can all relate to. I think we all wonder if we’re in charge of our own story, can a leopard change its spots? Do we have any freewill? And in exercising your free will you make choices in your own life, either you get a black coffee or a latte or a cappuccino. that’s a choice. I mean, it’s a small choice. Every choice you make adds up to the picture of your life and do those choices inform your purpose and I think all of us as people want happy lives, but that we also want lives with a purpose. And that’s really what the show is talking about.”
