This is for the Dragonflies who will literally click on anything if it involves Tom Hiddleston in some way. I really don’t think any of this is a spoiler, but if you are completely in the dark about all things Thor 2: The Dark Loki and you don’t want to know anything at all about it until you see the movies at some future date, this post is not for you. Go on, now.
Ready? Okay, so Thor 2: The Spandex Loki will come out on DVD in February and people are buzzing about some of the extras. In one scene that made it into the film, Loki the shape-shifter disguises himself briefly as… Captain America. Thor busts his brother out of Magneto’s jail cell and they’re walking along, trying to be inconspicuous and that’s when Loki shape-shifts. In the actual film, Chris Evans came in to do a cameo, but I guess Chris was doing it on greenscreen or something, because Tommy decided to wear the Captain America spandex and pretend to do an American accent. And that’s one of the DVD extras:
When Tom and Chris Hemsworth sat down with MTV last year, they described the circumstances that led to Hiddles putting on Captain America’s suit. Chris makes it sound like Tommy had to be told very gently that he didn’t need to wear the suit but Tom makes it sound like he was just trying to give Chris Evans some pointers on what his performance should be.

Oh my.
Sign me up. Anything with Chris and/or Tom and I am here. There. Everywhere. Anywhere.
Well don’t hog all the popcorn. I’m always there beside you!
In a box? With a fox?
On a train? In the rain?
I would click on just a picture…don’t even need a story. But you could write about what toothpaste he uses or what he had for lunch yesterday and I would be happy.
Love him. 🙂
Hear you LadyS..
OOHHH MMMYYYYYYYYY.., gonna day dream…
🙂
I was hoping they would kiss at the end, cuz it was hella sexy when Thor pushed him against that column.
YES
Good to know I wasn’t the only one mentally shouting, “Kiss him!”
Seriously? Glad I am not the only to think that. ‘blush’
I do think Chris and Tom have chemistry. 😀
So I’m not the only one who read Avengers porn…good to know. Do you know how many Steve Rodgers/Tony Stark stories I’ve read??? Hundreds….
You know it’s bad when you watch ‘Sherlock’ and forget that Sherlock is an asexual character (might change???) and John is straight…….
Not really, are you familiar with Curly Fu and Peanut?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-china-blog-25550426
I don’t go that far LOL!
Some one also released two clips (no sound) of Tom’s audition for Thor. He looks like a surfer.
Here: http://torrilla.tumblr.com/
Wow, was always curious to see what he’d look like. He’s mentioned it a lot in interviews, about the 20 lbs of muscle he put on to audition.
I actually kind of see it although I think it’s more like 10.
He never mentioned the dodgy wig though, HA!
I notice on that Tumblr they have stuff about the upcoming Elle article, the bits they have teased look…riveting.
Are we sure that is a wig? I assumed it was his real hair just straighten. If you look at the last season of Wallader his hair is long (for curly guy hair) so he could have just used a flat iron.
Even if it’s not, it’s still dodgy looking.
In the face on shot he looks like a young Gene Wilder.
He hasn’t got the body or facial structure to play Thor, Brannagh made the better choice making him Loki.
I’m glad he did! Thor is such a bore. Loki rocks.
@CC – Not so far away from another royal pair of brothers!! Older one serious, younger one charismatic. Sound familiar??
As much as I adore his little Bunny heart, it’s a no from me, baby (read that in Keith Urban’s accent, American Idol style).
@lindy79…what stuff? Anything other than the Jag ad??
LOL, precious
He looks like a 90s alternative stoned rocker dude.
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing though.
Hence Iron Man’s nickname for him. Rock of Ages… It works for the dark Loki hair or the blonde Thor hair!
I can totally see Thor and Loki being heavy metal fans as teenagers. Then Thor went the Pearl Jam way while Loki discovered Marilyn Manson.
Ah yes, but then Loki would have seven shades kicked out of him by Manson fans when he starts dancing like a New Kids On The Block devotee…
Ahahahahaahha
Don’t you mean POLE dancing like a NKOTB devotee (I’m picturing mid-air kicks, splits and gang signs)
Never change trickster <3
I think we can safely say the casting team got that one right. Can’t imagine Tom as Thor and I certainly can’t imagine Chris as Loki.
AHAHHA
CHRIS AS LOKI
I WOULD PAY TO SEE THAT
OH DEAR GOD.
I love Tom but no. NO. Just…NO.
Thank God my cries were preemptively answered. Now can we please see the whole tape? Also him playing opposite Loki?
I died when I saw that Sammy Hagar hair. Tom’s body looks insane, though! The abs are mesmerizing.
Not that I object to seeing Tom shirtless, but this proves that the casting gods are wise and just.
He looks like Jeff Spicoli here. Gnarly!
I saw those clips. Mother of pearl… that first one. Robert Plant. He has 70s British rock star all over him. He gets to play Iggy Pop or David Bowie if the Zepplin pic doesn’t pan out first.
What **IS** it about lanky British men??? I swoon.
I think he looks like a young Roger Daltrey. And he really does look like he put on a lot of muscle for that audition, which can’t have been an easy thing to do considering that he appears to be naturally on the leaner side. Impressive.
Bottom. Barrel. Is all I’m saying.
HAHA
*Falls over laughing*
I auditioned with Bunny. Why, why, why didn’t they cast Bunny? She made everything special.
Sweet TommyAnnE. Sometimes I just want to hold you and make you a sandwich. Poor boy.
Puddletom. You know you stole Bunny’s velveteen. She could hardly audition in the nekkid nude, could she? They might have potroasted her.
But my mum knitted her a jumper with a matching hat an everything!
Sorry, Puddletom will never ever be a convincing villain.
Edit: Sorry, this was meant to go further down thread under the making of the Jag commercial.
Loki rocks his own costume best. All that leather and metal is just so hot! I know Tom said it was hot and uncomfortable to wear, but as far as I am concerned, totally worth it!
Chris Evans definitely had the physique for Capsicle, but Tom hasn’t done too bad. Anyone would look a little lame next to Hemsworth and his muscles of madness!
Ok Tom has grown me. He’s hot, funny, seems to be down for anything and last but not least British. I would go there in a hot second.
Mah husband is so dedicated. <3
Tom in the Captain America suit is the true meaning of shock and awe.
Have you seen his screen test for Thor? So glad he was cast as Loki and not Thor.
http://bit.ly/1k0WLkV
I like lanky, pasty, british boys as the next guy, but I have to admit that he didn’ t look bad with some meat on his bones. As much as I consider Hemsworth boring, though, I think he has the right looks to play the character, more than Hiddleston! His frame was too small even with the 10/20 pounds of muscles. And yes, he looks like a surfer in the last gif! For some reason, with that hair, he reminds me of Matthew McConaughey!
Who didn’t audition for Thor??
He should have morphed into Black Widow’s outfit, boobs and all. That would have been interesting.
All I hear when he does the American accent is his Fitzgerald from Midnight in Paris
You know Tom would have happily done it if asked…
No doubt in my mind. He’d have put on a red wig too
Agree! Tom is truly a comedian….. LOL.
HAHAHAHA @ Chris Evans’ face in the last pic.
Whatever suit he puts on is fine by me… 🙂
In the audition for Thor he looks like a cuter version of Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High!
Spicoli crossed with Jared Leto.
Always at http://torrilla.tumblr.com/
you can now watch the Jaguar commercial+making of
Haha too much fun
I wonder what would be next? Elle’s “most revealing” interview?
Watching Tommy’s videos for the past 2 days proves to be bad for my jaw.
I hope nekkid times.
And now I am at work and I can’t watch. Darn.
I’m sorry but MARK STRONG omfg.
No one else comes close.
I dunno, Hiddles is sweet but seems sort of misplaced in that ad, compared to Kingsley and Strong he’s like a lost puppy flying around. I don’t feel any menace or danger emanating from him.
I hate to say it, but next to Kingsley & Strong, Jason Statham or Benedict Cumberbatch would have been a better match (lol it almost rhymes)
Also, that behind the scenes video – oh lolz, please, the only one making any sense was Kingsley. The reason Brits play the baddie is because they sound foreign and exotically cold and posh.
Besides, traditional movie villains are also the Russians and Germans, though that is obviously for political reasons.
Come to think of it, Britain is a bad guy in every history class in American schools, isn’t it? 😀
Tom is definitely coming across a bit strange, what is trying to talk like? i am bit disappointed. Hopefully, when it’s all together it will flow better.
Mark Strong was in ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’, right? He was Prideaux, right? He was HOT–everyone in that movie was hot, I loved that they had the men with their wonky hairlines and all….but Mark was the sex…..now all I do is picture some one on one action with him and Haydon (Colin Firth’s character)….
Virgilia, true story – friend’s birthday party, she took us to the cinema to see Tinker, Tailor, etc. We got pretty wasted before we even arrived, I fell asleep during the film. Only two shots from that movie that I remember are of Gary Oldman.
Later on, she tells me “not only were you hysterical with your mouth open, snoring there on the seat, but your darling Sherlock was in the film, did you know? and you totally missed him!”
No need to describe my reaction.
Overall, I got the feeling the movie was boring as fck. Can you tell me if it was just the booze or is it really slow and boring? And how much of BC is in there?
Oh no, i’ve just realised it is the full advert. I’ve watched five times in HD and i can’t warm to Tommy here at all. i still don’t get his acting style, what was the director making him do?.
He’s not pulling Loki, [not enough to get sued by Marvel] I dont know any baddies that drink cups of tea in a helicopter [It’s very Anthony Head Gold Blend advert style] and why why why is he talking that way, they’ve paled the face, darkened the hair and put Tom in a green suit, to try and infer a Loki-look to the US audiences. But, he is not acting like Loki.
This was filmed in November, i think I read. My guess is he filmed it in an afternoon, one shot and hadn’t time to work on his one-two lines. Due to Thor/Coriolanus stuff.
Mark Strong, though, phew. I loved him in Our Friends in the North, blew Daniel Craig and Chris Eccleston out of the acting water then.
He had the dark hair in July (probably for the Capa film which fell through) so I thought it was filmed then?
Personally, given the ages of the three actors involved, I immediately thought, three incarnations of, in this case, a career villain: the young one, just starting out, bit of a drama queen, all grand stand and props, trying to be important, like you do when you’re young. The middle-aged one, more seasoned, more experienced, most props gone but the essentials, charm still firmly in place, assured rather than cocky. And the older version, already earned the status of mastermind, the one who has but to beckon, and the others will answer, completely in control, to the extent that he no longer requires props. Consider the differences in attire: full on three piece suit; turtleneck and jacket; shirt and untied bowtie, at least for most part of the ad.
Virgilia-good call the Tinker, Tailor movie. The only movie I could place him was Sherlock, I forgot he was in that since I’ve only ever seen clips here and there.
Great analysis DahliaDee. I’ve been trying to work out what the ad represents to me and you nailed it.
The young baddie, just starting out and hasn’t found his comfort zone yet so he uses all the bells and whistles at his disposal. Then the seasoned baddie who can still appreciate the finer things his lifestyle brings, but doesn’t need to flaunt it quite so ostentatiously. Finally the old master, who oversees the others and keeps them in check (no pun intended on Tom’s suit!). Mess with this guy and he’ll have you removed from the face of the planet with a wave of his pinky finger. When all three come together, chaos will ensue and empires will fall…
This could so easily transfer into an awesome movie…
that’s a nice observation, DahliaDee *claps* =)
jammypants, aw, shucks 🙂 *curtsies*
Wow. Something about a man who arrives at work in a helicopter just makes me say Damn!!
You & Queenie both
http://www.odt.co.nz/files/story/2012/07/actors_portraying_the_queen_and_james_bond_arrive__501300f235.JPG
Can I just say the whole purpose of the ad is the car, and although I have never particularly favored Jag before, this is a fine looking car!
This ad is also probably as close as I will ever get to a Jag!!
The ad is missing something though… Oh, Cookie Monster in the back seat as we all know he is the real secret leader of the villainous pack!
Nummy.
He looks older than usual in the Jag ad. And “the stiff upper lip”…LOL
Ok, on the second pic (where he is with Hems) .. What’s he doing with his hand in his pocket??? I mean… hum… Is it just his hand???? O.o
His hand is not in his pocket…
Its more like a foot!! (and I ain’t talking about the heel and toes kind!)
Well, I asked about his hand because I didn’t want to sound so evident… (I’m kinda “shy”) … was just wondering if I was seeing straight,,, ai…
@Secret Squirrel… oh please do talk about the hill and toes kind… 🙂
@Secret Squirrel…your comment just made my day. I probably shouldn’t be laughing as much as I am right now.
And, can this man never stand without jutting out and flaunting his..ahem…you-know-what-i-mean. Not that I am complaining, though :p
@Nighty – Unleash your inner slut! Nobody knows your true identity here!! If he didn’t want people talking about it, he wouldn’t put it out there like that (presumably).
🙂
@Pretzel – I know! I often think “Jeez Tom, do you kiss your mother whilst wearing those pants and standing like that?? Leave something to the imagination for goodness sake!”
I’m sure Hemsworth is laughing somewhat awkwardly and leaning his hips away in that pic because he can sense the presence of “Big Ben” (i.e. the big Westminster donger).
Not going to lie….I’d do the exact same thing if given the opportunity. Hiddleston! You go, Glenn CoCo!
And then there is this: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2014/01/28/thor-the-dark-world-exclusive-deleted-scene/4956713/ All these new clips and the screen test pictures are being released by Marvel as part of the pre-release for the Thor 2 Blu-Ray/DVD.
He fills out the Captain America suit nicely but is obviously much thinner than Evans.
I love his performance in this scene. He definitely gave Evans something fun to work with.
Loki eyes. TH may have gotten to a 6 on a 10 Chem scale, but his eyes are so Loki. I realize seeing TH’s screen test how much we get from TH for his performance as Loki with just his eyes.
True that! It’s essentially what I love about him, he expresses emotions wonderfully, and it all comes down to his eyes and face.
He can do so much with silence. Dude has presence.
did you see the new teaser quote by elle on their twitter? ‘We were in the same class. It all went down in a cricket pavilion on an autumn night. Ut was all very thrilling’ this can mean ANYTHING. But all i can think is first kiss or first time..ahem ahem. Elle uk wants to kill us, that’s all!
You can almost hear the clicking of the fan fiction writers on keyboards now.
That description though! Wayyy too vivid and just so Hiddles. I wonder how he would actually describwdescribe the process if asked to elaborate. I am missing Secret Squirrel now!!
And from under that said cricket pavilion on that dark autumn night, you would hear this…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx_gYSCRPpw
I choose…willingly!
Hands up anyone who thinks if this IS a first time story, that cricket pavilion will become a fan love shrine once the Donmar is once again Tommyless… Rituals will be performed there involving candles and bunnies and swathes of velvet robes!
One more sleep and we get to find out what happened under the cricket stand (please note I have absolutely refrained from any “everything will be all white” and “batting for the other team” cricket analogies here)… Well done to Elle for tapping into that fan-love vein. As far as business acumen goes, they have played a great game here…
Actually this sounds highly managed by LW with those fangirls in mind. I am not expecting something especially real or spontaneous.
Odds that this story has anything to do with romance when the full quote is released: .001%
I’m guessing this is the tale of a university or boarding school prank. Hell, probably not even a prank. They probably sneaked out in the middle of the night to perform Shakespeare or something.
@lunchcoma LMAO bound to be! ‘or not to be’ Can’t wait for this… Elle knows exactly what they are doing. 😀
omg haha! it’s like his Suburban Shootout character was written after him lmao! So twee lol
It’s his first kiss at 10! Someone’s trying to be a play-uh! :p
his Elle interview was sexy as hell (and cute at the same time)
@Jammypants. Did you get the entire interview? I just read the incomplete scan circulating in Tumblr. Even though this smells of Lukey Luke, I gotta admit, this was far more original and straight up,
Pretzel, I did! it’s all over the internet already, which is nuts!
http://torrilla.tumblr.com/post/75019262654/tom-hiddleston-a-god-among-men-elle-uk-march
Oh god, it’s too long and I’m already cringing at just the highlighted quotes….
Oh dear
Agreed Miss J. I do hope it’s not a virginity story – seems kind of tacky to reveal that in a magazine… Let’s hope it’s something twee and sweet like a first kiss, or his first game of Monopoly or something…
Jokes aside, has anyone else noticed he seems to be trying very hard to rough his image up a bit, to distance himself from the unicorn riding prince? I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, I just get that impression…
He couldn’t roughen his image up if he showered with sandpaper!!
Only kidding 🙂
He should totally keep his Coriolanus scars then. They help!
Not really, at least not to me. He’s been working out the same way since Cymbeline days it seems (based on the tumblr gifs floating around). He has to look a bit tough for Coriolanus for sure though, yum.
I’ m really impressed with his flexibility. he’s like a gymnast. for someone so tall, he can bend.
Ok Elle…i gotta give it you. It was a rather fine. fine interview! Hiddles was lovley..and for once his clothes were normal. And boy, does he look handsome!
No, not physically rough, I mean being a bit more edgy. The edgy shoots, the edgy play. Edgy.
I guess we can take the Elle interview as confirmation he is with Jane then. Lucky girl.
ELLEUK didn’t not say that at all, Gin Princess. She was his gf in July. He is now single, as he stated in 2 interviews. Why do you always need to distort things?
Edgy play? It’s Shakespeare. Hardly anything edgy about something written hundreds of years ago, no matter what they do with chairs or music.
It’s harder, more brutal and less accessible that many of his other plays. Much less well known.
I’m not twisting anything. It says ‘outed him as having a girlfriend’ and there was no further ‘single now’ message. He would have had copy approval, you think he would have let them keep it in?
I’m just calling it as I see it. Calm down. And considering I don’t post that often, how do I ‘always distort things’?
Gin Princess, I took that comment to mean that when the editor tweeted that info in July, she was amazed by the vociferousness of the response she received from his fans. It’s a nice way to introduce the article, especially as Elle’s editor had done the original tweet. Since then he’s said he’s single.
The rest of the article is pretty ambiguous IMO. However, considering how much he blathers on about trying to be the ideal bf, I’m amazed he wouldn’t say something along of the lines of “My gf says that…”, if he were with someone. Bottom line, we don’t know.
Btw, has anyone seen the Mark Gatiss tweet where someone asked if he and Tom would be coming out after the matinee? God bless him, he replied “I’m out already. And Tom’s not gay.”
I read Gatiss tweet, he is a genius! 🙂
great tweet, spilled my coffee this morning reading it.
btw Elle interview, very funny about the trousersnake tumblr stuff. No, GF confirmations though 🙁 I like the bit about him leading a solitary life,… he needs me in his life.
“I’m out already. And Tom’s not gay.”
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
I. LOVE. THAT. MAN. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Though honestly Tom seems gay while Gatiss doesn’t, I love that, lol
I was referring to the general need to distort things, but in this case you are.
The journalist is referring to the month on July, not now, the sentence is quite clear. Also, quite clearly, Arthy was only mentioned to point out his passionate fans.
Tom said in other 2 interviews, after Wimbledon, that he is single.
In this interview he says in a relationship he is honest, caring and kind.
If, after saying on two different occasions that there is nothing home to write about his love life and that he is single (not to mention that he attended every event alone), you think Arthy has been his gf all along, that makes him dishonest, uncaring and unkind.
Of course feel free to keep your belief, but don’t make it sound like the magazine stated something that it didn’t.
Also, I’m not agitated at all.
I envy Arthy, because, clearly, she has harry potter cloak of invisibility
or a magic mushroom 🙂
The Elle writer was discussing what happened to HER, the response she received, when she wrote that last summer. The current Elle article contains no mention of or reference to a current relationship. There is mention of a first kiss and what he would hope to bring to a relationship as a partner, but that’s it.
I’m not distorting things, I’m stating my interpretation of it. As you have stated yours. And I’m not interested in getting into a long debate about his marital status off the back of a throwaway comment I made. I really don’t care that much.
Not interested either, that’s why I replied to your post.
But hey, want to clear out all your doubts? Tweet the journalist and ask her, very easy.
Yeah, sorry, that’s a crazy line I’m not interested in crossing…
Anyway people talk about important matters: five shots of whiskey? Love him
Don’t know why she was trying to get him tipsy. Most actors, like journalists and teachers, drink like fishes. They only start to panic when they get too much blood in their alcohol stream. ;p
I’m with Gin Princess. Arthy has now been named twice in two different publications. I think the inclusion is a purposeful move toward acclimatizing the fan base to the relationship.
As others have stated, Tom’s people get final approval for the story – if he was single and wanted to distance himself from anyone deemed a possible GF, don’t you think they’d scrap her name?
Me too. Frankly speaking, “nothing to write home about” didn’t strike me much before everyone else started talking. For all we know she might have told him to say that. That, and the fact that elle didn’t write anything to the contrary even after mentioning her name makes me think they are an item. Not that all this analysis makes proves or disproves anything.
They didn’t mention her name, they mentioned their editor in chief tweet. Slightly different
They can’t even believe him when he says he’s single, imagine if they pay attention to what is actually written in an article.
I bet that when in July he’ll go to Wimbledon final alone, or with his sister or with somebody else, they’ll still insist that Arthy is being marinated in a bunker for the right occasion.
I agree, what I took from the whole interview was that he’s in love and has a gf. I’m assuming it’s Jane, but I guess it could be someone new. It wasn’t explicitly stated, and frankly there’s no need for it, his private life should remain private, but he seems to be in a good place right now, and it’s really sweet and heartwarming to read it. Good for him I say!
p.s. my favorite part though – “his own favorite clip features him teaching the cookie monster a lesson in delayed gratification” — ahahahahahahha!! epic, it’s my favorite too, and damn he really does have a dirty mind, you wouldn’t know from all the proper politeness and seriousness of his answers
“marinated in a bunker for the right occasion” LOL
As a longtime lurker, who basically likes to read the comments more than anything else, I wanted to post this.
From my experience in publishing, he and his people do not have that much influence on what eventually goes to print. If he’s misquoted, then yes, but that’s also the reason why these things are taped. Or if a truly heinous lie is being said, they can suggest it to be edited or left out. However, once the interview is done, it is completely up to the head honchos to decide what to do with it. It is more a courtesy for the interviewee to get a head’s up, but even then rewrites – no matter how small – may not even be an option as they’ll usually only get to see the final edit, and by then deadline is approaching fast.
Everything else that is interjected by the journalist to spicen up the article/interview with some facts or her own thoughts, he nor his publicist can demand it to be edited or left out. For the tweet was real, as were the fervent responses to it. Even if they didn’t like it, it’s not their call to make. Freedom of the press et al.
Now the interview itself has left me rather ambiguous. He reveals a lot, and yet he doesn’t.
Kaisei – ‘They’ have a right to their own opinion, just have you have a right to yours. Neither of us know what is 100% true. Getting nasty isn’t going to help anyone have a nice experience here and it’s unnecessary. There are far bigger things in this world to get indignant about. I’ll give you a list if you like.
