Loki Laufeyson,[ane] known by adoption as Loki Odinson and by his championship every bit the God of Mischief,[two] [three] is a fictional character portrayed by Tom Hiddleston in the Curiosity Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise, based on the Curiosity Comics character of the aforementioned name and the Norse mythological god of the same proper noun. Loki get-go appeared in Thor (2011) and has since become an important recurring figure of the MCU; following the original Loki'due south decease in Avengers: Infinity War (2018), a variant of him from an alternate timeline is introduced in Avengers: Endgame (2019), diverging from the events of The Avengers (2012), headlining the goggle box series Loki (2021) alongside Sylvie, a female variant of him who is his dearest involvement.

As of 2021[update], the character has appeared in six films, takes the atomic number 82 part in the live-action series Loki (2021), with a number of alternate timeline variants appearing in Loki, the animated series What If...? (2021),[5] and in The Skilful, the Bart, and the Loki (2021), an animated short motion-picture show that serves equally a crossover with The Simpsons franchise,[6] including Archetype Loki, Child Loki, Boastful Loki, Alligator Loki, President Loki and more.

Loki's character has borrowed a number of characteristics and storylines from across the history of the character in Marvel Comics. Equally in the comics, Loki has mostly been a villain in the MCU, variously attempting to conquer Asgard or Earth, and having allied himself with more powerful villains to achieve his aims. He has particular antagonism for his adoptive brother Thor, and is known to variously ally with and then betray Thor and others, and to regularly return from apparent death. In his development through the series, he becomes less of a supervillain and more than of an antihero.

Concept and creation [edit]

The mythical figure Loki preceded Thor in making his outset Marvel Comics appearance, depicted in the science fiction/fantasy album championship Timely Comics' publication Venus No. 6 (August 1949) as a fellow member of the Olympian gods exiled to the Underworld. Even so, the electric current version of Loki made his first official Curiosity advent was in Journey into Mystery No. 85 (October 1962), where Loki was reintroduced as Thor'south sworn enemy. The modern age Loki was introduced by brothers and co-writers Stan Lee and Larry Lieber and he was redesigned past Jack Kirby. As one of Thor's curvation-nemeses, Loki frequently made appearances in Thor-related titles like Journey into Mystery and Thor, every bit well as other Marvel Universe titles such as The Avengers and X-Men, [seven] likewise equally brief appearances in the Spider-Man and Defenders comic series.

Live-action flick adaptations of characters in the Thor comic books were proposed at various times, but did non come to fruition. In the mid-2000s, Kevin Feige realized that Marvel still owned the rights to the core members of the Avengers, which included Thor. Feige, a self-professed "fanboy", envisioned creating a shared universe just as creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had done with their comic books in the early 1960s.[8] In 2006, the film was announced as a Marvel Studios production.[ix] In December 2007, Protosevich described his plans for information technology "to exist like a superhero origin story, only not one near a human gaining super powers, but of a god realizing his true potential. It's the story of an Erstwhile Testament god who becomes a New Testament god".[10] In 2008, Guillermo del Toro entered talks to directly the motion-picture show. Del Toro was a fan of Jack Kirby'southward work on the comics, and said that he loved the character of Loki, but wished to incorporate more of the original Norse mythology into the flick,[eleven] including a "really muddy Valhalla, [with] Vikings and mud".[12] However, del Toro ultimately turned down Thor to direct The Hobbit. Kenneth Branagh entered into negotiations to direct,[thirteen] and by December 2008, Branagh confirmed that he had been hired. He described information technology as "a human story right in the eye of a big epic scenario."[14]

Several actors were reportedly considered for the part, including Josh Hartnett,[15] and Jim Carrey.[xvi] In May 2009, Marvel announced that Tom Hiddleston, who had worked with Branagh before and had initially been considered to portray the lead role, had been cast as Loki.[17] In June 2009, Feige confirmed that both Chris Hemsworth and Hiddleston had signed on.[18]

Characterization [edit]

Tom Hiddleston stated that "Loki's like a comic book version of Edmund in Rex Lear, just nastier".[xix] Hiddleston stated that he had to keep a strict nutrition before the starting time of filming considering director Kenneth Branagh "wants Loki to have a lean and hungry await, like Cassius in Julius Caesar. Physically, he can't be posing every bit Thor".[xx] Hiddleston too looked at Peter O'Toole as inspiration for Loki, explaining, "Interestingly enough, [Kenneth Branagh] said to look at Peter O'Toole in ii specific films, The Lion in Wintertime and Lawrence of Arabia. What'south interesting virtually ... his performance [every bit King Henry] is you lot see how damaged he is. There's a rawness [to his performance]; it's almost as if he's living with a layer of skin peeled away. He's grandiose and teary and, in a moment, past turns hilarious and so terrifying. What we wanted was that emotional volatility. It's a different acting way, information technology'south not quite the same affair, simply it's fascinating to get dorsum and watch an actor equally smashing every bit O'Toole head for those great high hills".[21] Ted Allpress portrays a young Loki.

Nigh his character's development from Thor to The Avengers, Hiddleston said, "I call up the Loki we run across in The Avengers is further advanced. You lot have to ask yourself the question: How pleasant an experience is it disappearing into a wormhole that has been created past some kind of super nuclear explosion of his own making? So I call up by the fourth dimension Loki shows up in The Avengers, he's seen a few things."[22] About Loki's motivations, Hiddleston said, "At the beginning of The Avengers, he comes to Earth to subjugate information technology and his idea is to rule the human race equally their king. And like all the delusional autocrats of human history, he thinks this is a groovy idea because if everyone is busy worshipping him, in that location will be no wars so he volition create some kind of world peace past ruling them as a tyrant. But he is too kind of deluded in the fact that he thinks unlimited power will requite him self-respect, so I haven't let get of the fact that he is still motivated by this terrible jealousy and kind of spiritual desolation."[23] Hiddleston also filmed scenes for Avengers: Age of Ultron, but his scenes were omitted from the theatrical cut because director Joss Whedon didn't want the movie to experience "overstuffed".[24]

In Thor: The Dark World, Loki forms an uneasy alliance with Thor against the Nighttime Elves.[25] [26] [27] On where he wished to have the grapheme in the film, Hiddleston said, "I'd like to accept [Loki] to his absolute rock bottom. I'd similar to see him yield, substantially, to his darkest instincts. Then, having hit rock bottom, peradventure come up support. I retrieve the fascination for me almost playing Loki is that, in the history of the mythology and the comic books and the Scandinavian myths, is he's constantly dancing on this fault line of the nighttime side and redemption."[28] Hiddleston recalled, "When I met Alan [Taylor], he asked me how I idea I could practice Loki once again without repeating myself and I remembered talking with Kevin Feige when nosotros were on the Avengers promotional tour. I said, 'OK, you've seen Thor and Loki exist combative for ii films now. Information technology would be amazing to run into them fight side by side. I've been the bad guy now twice, so I tin't be again, or otherwise I shouldn't be in the film. And so nosotros have to find a new role for me to play."[29]

Hiddleston was interested in how Loki'southward attitude has changed by the events of Thor: Ragnarok, saying, "he is always a trickster. It is trying to find new means for him to be mischievous".[thirty] Equally the ruler of Asgard since the end of Thor: The Dark Earth (2013), Hiddleston notes that "Loki has devoted near of his efforts to egotistic self-glorification. Not so much on practiced governance."[31] He likewise added that "the idea that Thor might exist indifferent to Loki is troubling for him... information technology'due south an interesting development".[32]

With respect to Loki's death at the get-go of Infinity War, Hiddleston expressed the stance that "it's very powerful he calls himself an Odinson, and that closes the whole journey of Loki and what he can do", also noting that Loki'southward death demonstrates how powerful Thanos is, setting the phase for the fight against him.[33]

In Loki (2021), Loki's sexual activity in the series is denoted by the Time Variance Authority as "fluid", in a nod to the character'due south genderfluidity in Curiosity Comics and Norse mythology. Hiddleston said that the "breadth and range of identity independent in the character has been emphasized and is something I was always aware of when I was starting time cast 10 years agone...I know it was important to Kate Herron and Michael Waldron and to the whole team. And nosotros were very aware, this is something we felt responsible for."[34]

Appearance and special effects [edit]

Hiddleston has noted that his transformation into Loki has required dyeing his naturally blond hair and making his naturally ruddy skin appear very pale, stating:

In making him with this raven black hair and blanching my face of all color, it changes my features. Suddenly my blue eyes look a lot bluer, which lends a severity to my face. And even my ain grin has a distorted menace to it. Whatever comes through me naturally is distorted.[35]

Loki'southward costume in Thor, designed by Marvel'south head of visual development Charlie Wen, adapted elements from the comics while adding elements to give it a futuristic experience, reflecting the treatment of magic in the Thor films as merely highly advanced engineering science. Similar other representations of Asgard, particularly including the costumes of Thor and Odin, it also referenced Norse symbols. Wen stated that he "designed Loki'south armor to be more overtly formalism than practical", in keeping with the grapheme being more focused on scheming for power than engaging in battle.[36]

Hiddleston described the horns worn every bit part of his Loki costume as weighing about 30 pounds, resulting in one instance during the filming of The Avengers where he asked co-star Chris Hemsworth to really punch him in the face up, because the weight of the horns fabricated it difficult to imitation beingness hitting.[37]

During the Loki TV serial, numerous Loki variants were shown or introduced with varying appearances. With respect to the nearly prominently featured variant, Sylvie, Loki costume designer Christine Wada and managing director Kate Herron planned Sylvie to be "mysterious and somewhat androgynous" in the first, fugitive her identity reveal to become "a total play on gender", rather, letting the character evolve on her own "as a strong female pb" without over-sexualization. Sylvie's look represents a character that is "a fighter", can stand on her own, and is prepared to engage in battles and runs. Instead of tailor-made armors usually given to female person comic book characters to raise silhouettes, the costume designer intended to not make distinctions betwixt the male and female clothing in the series. Sylvie's costume include a harem drop-crotch pant, which allowed her to emphasize move equally to a tight pant or a spandex suit. Wada decided to bring that grounded aspect to Sylvie's look into a storyline with magic elements, stating that "I believe it more than that somebody tin go fight when they're in a rugged boot more a pair of high heels... part is such a clear and of import thing to reference in all expert design."[38] In her first appearance, Sylvie wore a broken Loki crown, which she later left behind in the Ark. A version of the grapheme, Lady Loki, wore a similar crown in the comics.[39] Some other variant, Classic Loki, wore a costume inspired by the character'due south 1960s comic design past Jack Kirby.[forty]
