ONCE UPON A TIME, long before Thanos started finger-snapping people out of existence, there was a widely held belief that the Marvel Cinematic Universe wasn’t as good at creating memorable villains as the Distinguished Competition at DC. There was, however, an exception – a born trickster with a habit of stealing every scene he was in…
From his first appearance in Thor in 2011, the god of thunder’s adoptive brother, Loki, quickly became one of the stand-out characters of the MCU. He was even brought back to play chief antagonist in Avengers Assemble.
“Like so many people, I’ve just loved Loki across the whole MCU,” says Kate Herron, the director of Disney+’s hotly-anticipated Loki TV show. “I mean, I love villains – when they’re done right, they’re the most complex and interesting characters. We don’t necessarily have to agree with their actions, but we have to understand them, and I just think Loki is a complete masterclass in that. Loki’s someone you just can’t help but root for. What [actor] Tom Hiddleston has done has brought such empathy and wit to that character.”
In other words, if you were placing bets on the first representative of Marvel’s dark side to headline their own movie or TV show, Loki has always seemed the best villain to back.
