Not long ago, Tom Hiddleston was asked about his role in Thor: Ragnarok during his promotions for Kong: Skull Island. It was there that the British star explained just how Loki would be brought closer to Thor thanks to the film’s villain – even if just for a moment.
“At the beginning of Ragnarok, Thor has a lot of questions, and Loki – true to form – is not that forthcoming with many answers. But hammers are involved and the stakes are raised,” Hiddleston said.
“Cate Blanchett is playing the goddess of death who brings destruction in her wake. It’s the kind of destruction that both Thor and Loki have never seen, on a scale of terror they’ve never ever seen before. So, they fall back on their brotherhood fractured though it is to see what they can do to stop her.
