With a privilege that very few other Marvel Studios characters have had, Tom Hiddelston continues to discover new facets of the character in this second season, not only in new environments, but also through an introspective look. which leads him to a previously unknown emotional dimension.

“These new episodes are about Loki understanding himself“, confessed the actor who is now a partner of Zawe Ashton (who we will see in November as the film’s antagonist The miracles) and has just become a father.

How will this version of Loki feel performing heroic and altruistic acts when long ago all he thought about was himself and what he wanted for his life?
