Where Thor was something of a joyless stiff in the first two movies, filmmakers have since discovered Hemsworth’s comic abilities, allowing them to give the thunder god new layers of personality. In fact, Thor seems utterly bored when Loki betrays him in that same movie, and boring is the last thing Loki should ever be.
#LOKI AND THOR MOVIE#
Certainly, he was fun to watch – his cheer when Hulk smashes Thor in Ragnarok remains a highlight of the movie – but not essential. He became a supporting member of Thor’s cast.
While the brothers certainly had some nice moments in The Dark World and Ragnarok, Loki no longer served as a driving force. Since The Avengers, Loki has played only a secondary role in Thor’s life. He returned in The Avengers as the perfect villain to bring together characters who headline their own movies, a worldwide threat that only Earth’s Mightiest Heroes could thwart.īut when people start to demand that Loki accompany Thor again in the newest movie, I can only respond by quoting the thunder god himself: “I say thee nay!” Even more so than Chris Hemsworth, Loki was the breakout character of Thor, and Hiddleston’s charm and good looks brought the character to life for those early audiences. For many storytellers, Thor and Loki define one another.įurthermore, Tom Hiddleston’s performance as Loki was integral to the MCU’s widespread success. The tension between the duplicitous trickster and arrogant thunder god has been the driving force in some of humanity’s finest stories in Norse Mythology and modern fantasy, as well as comic books.
After all, Loki has been part of Thor’s story even before either character appeared in Marvel Comics.
Some people consider this an unforgivable omission. With Ragnarok standouts Korg and Valkyrie coming back, there’s really only one major franchise character missing in the latest Asgardian adventure: Loki, Thor’s half-brother and chief antagonist. We get Natalie Portman returning to the MCU as Jane Foster, Christian Bale and Russell Crowe crossing over from the DC Universe to play Gorr the God Butcher and Zeus, respectively. A glance at the cast list for Thor: Love and Thunder reveals many fan favorites and Academy Award winners.
