Loki Laufeyson,[i] known past adoption as Loki Odinson and by his title equally the God of Mischief,[ii] [3] is a fictional graphic symbol portrayed by Tom Hiddleston in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise, based on the Marvel Comics graphic symbol of the same proper name and the Norse mythological god of the same name. Loki start appeared in Thor (2011) and has since become an important recurring effigy of the MCU; following the original Loki's death 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 boob tube series Loki (2021) aslope Sylvie, a female variant of him who he works alongside with in the serial.

As of 2022[update], the grapheme has appeared in seven films, takes the lead office in the live-activity series Loki (2021), with a number of alternating timeline variants appearing in Loki, the animated series What If...? (2021),[5] and in The Good, the Bart, and the Loki (2021), an blithe short film that serves as a crossover with The Simpsons franchise,[half-dozen] including Classic Loki, Kid Loki, Boastful Loki, Alligator Loki, President Loki and more.

Loki'due south character has borrowed a number of characteristics and storylines from across the history of the graphic symbol in Marvel Comics. Every bit in the comics, Loki has generally been a villain in the MCU, variously attempting to conquer Asgard or Earth, and having centrolineal himself with more than powerful villains to achieve his aims. He has particular antagonism for his adoptive blood 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 of an antihero.

Concept and creation [edit]

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

Live-action motion picture adaptations of characters in the Thor comic books were proposed at various times, but did not come to fruition. In the mid-2000s, Kevin Feige realized that Marvel withal 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 motion picture was announced equally a Curiosity Studios product.[nine] In December 2007, Protosevich described his plans for it "to exist similar a superhero origin story, but not one about a human gaining super powers, but of a god realizing his truthful potential. It's the story of an Old Testament god who becomes a New Testament god".[x] In 2008, Guillermo del Toro entered talks to directly the picture. Del Toro was a fan of Jack Kirby's work on the comics, and said that he loved the graphic symbol of Loki, but wished to incorporate more of the original Norse mythology into the film,[11] including a "really dingy Valhalla, [with] Vikings and mud".[12] However, del Toro ultimately turned downwardly Thor to direct The Hobbit. Kenneth Branagh entered into negotiations to direct,[xiii] and by December 2008, Branagh confirmed that he had been hired. He described it every bit "a human story right in the center of a big epic scenario."[xiv]

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

Characterization [edit]

Tom Hiddleston stated that "Loki'south like a comic volume version of Edmund in King Lear, but nastier".[19] Hiddleston stated that he had to proceed a strict diet before the commencement of filming considering director Kenneth Branagh "wants Loki to accept a lean and hungry look, like Cassius in Julius Caesar. Physically, he tin't be posing as Thor".[20] Hiddleston likewise looked at Peter O'Toole equally inspiration for Loki, explaining, "Interestingly enough, [Kenneth Branagh] said to await at Peter O'Toole in two specific films, The Panthera leo in Wintertime and Lawrence of Arabia. What's interesting well-nigh ... his performance [as King Henry] is you meet how damaged he is. In that location's a rawness [to his functioning]; it'south about as if he's living with a layer of skin peeled abroad. He's grandiose and teary and, in a moment, by turns hilarious and then terrifying. What we wanted was that emotional volatility. It'south a unlike acting style, it'south not quite the same thing, but it'southward fascinating to get back and watch an player as great as O'Toole caput for those peachy high hills".[21] Ted Allpress portrays a young Loki.

About his character's evolution from Thor to The Avengers, Hiddleston said, "I call back the Loki we see in The Avengers is further avant-garde. You have to ask yourself the question: How pleasant an feel is it disappearing into a wormhole that has been created by some kind of super nuclear explosion of his ain making? And so I call back by the time Loki shows up in The Avengers, he's seen a few things."[22] About Loki'due south motivations, Hiddleston said, "At the beginning of The Avengers, he comes to World to subjugate it and his idea is to rule the human race as their king. And like all the delusional autocrats of human history, he thinks this is a great thought because if everyone is busy worshipping him, there volition be no wars so he will create some kind of world peace by ruling them as a tyrant. But he is also kind of deluded in the fact that he thinks unlimited ability volition give him cocky-respect, and so I oasis't let become of the fact that he is all the same motivated past this terrible jealousy and kind of spiritual desolation."[23] Hiddleston likewise filmed scenes for Avengers: Age of Ultron, but his scenes were omitted from the theatrical cut because director Joss Whedon didn't want the motion-picture show to experience "overstuffed".[24]

In Thor: The Nighttime World, Loki forms an uneasy brotherhood with Thor against the Dark Elves.[25] [26] [27] On where he wished to take the character in the film, Hiddleston said, "I'd like to take [Loki] to his absolute rock bottom. I'd like to run into him yield, essentially, to his darkest instincts. Then, having hit rock bottom, possibly come up support. I think the fascination for me about 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 mistake line of the night side and redemption."[28] Hiddleston recalled, "When I met Alan [Taylor], he asked me how I thought I could practice Loki again without repeating myself and I remembered talking with Kevin Feige when we were on the Avengers promotional tour. I said, 'OK, you've seen Thor and Loki be antagonistic for two films now. Information technology would be astonishing to see them fight side past side. I've been the bad guy now twice, so I tin't exist again, or otherwise I shouldn't be in the film. Then we have to find a new office for me to play."[29]

Hiddleston was interested in how Loki'southward attitude has changed by the events of Thor: Ragnarok, saying, "he is ever a trickster. It is trying to notice new ways for him to be mischievous".[xxx] As the ruler of Asgard since the end of Thor: The Dark World (2013), Hiddleston notes that "Loki has devoted nigh of his efforts to narcissistic self-glorification. Not and then much on skilful governance."[31] He also added that "the idea that Thor might exist indifferent to Loki is troubling for him... it's an interesting evolution".[32]

With respect to Loki'southward decease at the starting time of Infinity State of 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 practise", also noting that Loki'southward decease demonstrates how powerful Thanos is, setting the stage for the fight against him.[33]

In Loki (2021), Loki's sex activity in the series is denoted by the Time Variance Dominance every bit "fluid", in a nod to the grapheme's genderfluidity in Curiosity Comics and Norse mythology. Hiddleston said that the "breadth and range of identity contained in the character has been emphasized and is something I was always enlightened of when I was first cast 10 years ago...I know information technology was of import to Kate Herron and Michael Waldron and to the whole squad. And we 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 peel appear very pale, stating:

In making him with this raven blackness hair and blanching my confront of all colour, it changes my features. Of a sudden my bluish eyes look a lot bluer, which lends a severity to my face up. And even my ain smile has a distorted menace to it. Whatever comes through me naturally is distorted.[35]

Loki'due south costume in Thor, designed past Marvel's head of visual evolution Charlie Wen, adapted elements from the comics while adding elements to give it a futuristic feel, reflecting the treatment of magic in the Thor films as merely highly advanced technology. Like other representations of Asgard, particularly including the costumes of Thor and Odin, it also referenced Norse symbols. Wen stated that he "designed Loki's armor to be more overtly ceremonial than practical", in keeping with the character beingness more than focused on scheming for power than engaging in battle.[36]

Hiddleston described the horns worn equally part of his Loki costume as weighing about 30 pounds, resulting in ane instance during the filming of The Avengers where he asked co-star Chris Hemsworth to really punch him in the face, because the weight of the horns made information technology difficult to fake existence hit.[37]

During the Loki Television serial, numerous Loki variants were shown or introduced with varying appearances. With respect to the about prominently featured variant, Sylvie, Loki costume designer Christine Wada and director Kate Herron planned Sylvie to be "mysterious and somewhat androgynous" in the beginning, fugitive her identity reveal to become "a total play on gender", rather, letting the character evolve on her own "as a strong female lead" without over-sexualization. Sylvie'due south look represents a graphic symbol that is "a fighter", tin can stand on her ain, and is prepared to engage in battles and runs. Instead of tailor-fabricated armors unremarkably given to female person comic volume characters to enhance silhouettes, the costume designer intended to not brand distinctions between the male and female wearable in the series. Sylvie's costume include a harem drop-crotch pant, which allowed her to emphasize movement equally to a tight pant or a spandex suit. Wada decided to bring that grounded aspect to Sylvie's expect into a storyline with magic elements, stating that "I believe it more than that somebody can go fight when they're in a rugged boot more than than a pair of high heels... role is such a clear and of import thing to reference in all good pattern."[38] In her outset appearance, Sylvie wore a cleaved Loki crown, which she after left behind in the Ark. A version of the character, Lady Loki, wore a similar crown in the comics.[39] Another variant, Classic Loki, wore a costume inspired by the grapheme'southward 1960s comic design by Jack Kirby.[40]

In 2011, Loki attends Thor'due south intergalactic party on Earth alongside his fellow Frost Giants, who vandalize Mount Rushmore. Loki accidentally prevents Jane Foster from contacting Thor when, due to his large Frost Giant fingers, he drops and breaks Thor'south cell phone. He and his Frost Giants later transport the London Middle spinning off into one direction. When Thor intimidates the party guests into cleaning upward while also mentioning that Frigga is coming, Loki's fellow Frost Giants put the London Centre back on its stand.

Reception [edit]

The graphic symbol of Loki "has been a fan favorite ever since his central part in 2012's The Avengers",[56] becoming "one of the MCU's most beloved characters".[57] Hiddleston has received a number of nominations and awards for his functioning of the character.
