He is built like a brick shithouse. Beeep.
Tom would you describe Thor for us, and Chris, would you please describe Loki.
Ahhh, so fun. Ok, so, Thor is the god of thunder, he is
the son of Odin, he is strong and noble, and he wields the power of the storm, he is built
like a brick shithouse, Beeeep.
And in this film, he is older, he is wiser, he is more mature, and he is faced with many,
many challenges he hasn't been faced with before. His father is actually weaker and
more vulnerable, he is putting out lots of different fires across the Universe, and he
misses the lady in his life, called Jane Foster, who he hasn't seen for some time. And, he
travels on the London underground. He does. Occasionally, when he is hammerless.
Loki is the god of Mischief, we have seen him go from Thor's brother and disappear
into the realm as villainous criminal, attempting to consume Earth and take it as his own and
rule this planet. And in this film he is basically locked up in the dungeon post-Avengers and
all the madness he caused there. We see, what I found fascinating, a far more conflicted
Loki than I think we have seen in the past he is constantly and still is walking the
line of redemption and damnation good - evil - where is he gonna fall - can you trust him
- can you not. But there is a large element of vulnerability there too, I think we really
empathize with his frustrations and misunderstandings regardless of how outrageous his actions are.
Because of Toms performance, there is access to the character, you kinda wanna root for
him Thanks man!
The two brothers don't really get along in the movie
whats exiting is, I think whatever conflict they have is actually founded upon years of
genuine affection, brotherly affection. I think as kids they got on, they played together.
As you say in Avengers: they played together, they fought together, they grew up together
and its only recently that everything has fallen apart. There is a crack in the architecture
of the family dynamic and I think they find a way to be.
Whats interesting is they sometimes sort of forget that they are enemies and you see them
as brothers again and I love that dynamic in that film.
Could you handle being brothers in real life? The two of you?
We are. We have adopted him into the Hemsworth family, he is the fourth member of the brothers.
Yeah, a honorary Hemsworth. We have spent three years now together playing this character.
I feel like, in the Jungle Book, Mogli, the man cub is adopted by the pack of wolves , in
the best way, and I feel I am a little man cub, wearing the red pants.
He is a wolf now. You get lucky, you have a chemistry which
you cant cut a plan for, a force, it is just there, and we have the same affection and
love for this characters in these films and it has been a hell of a ride.
It was nice in this film to really concentrate on the conflict and the relationship between
the two of them in a lot more detail than we had in the past.
Is there a quality you share with your character? You with Thor and you with Loki?
I like the color red of his cape. It´s always hard to make assessment on yourself.
I make it. Chris is an exceptional leader. You cannot say that as a leader because it
seems you are blowing your own trumpet. Thor is a leader of Asgard, he is a leader of men.
And Chris has amazing qualities of leadership. That is not necessarily industry, he inspires
people, he is good humored, he takes care of his team, and everybody on set, thats an
amazing thing. Thank you.
Loki has an incredible intelligence and wit, which is Tom, that character is Tom basically.
Besides the chaos and the madness. But the wit and the humor and the absolute sort of
calculation and intelligence that he has, that is Tom off set as well. He is constantly
riffing and adlibbing and improvising and messing around. Having a great time, that's
infectious. Whether its 5 am or the middle of the night or wherever we are shooing, Tom
is still 110 percent, full energy, positive
Thank you so much. It was fun talk to you.
