The English actor Tom Hiddleston has reportedly been cast as Loki in the Marvel Comic’s Thor movie.  Tom Hiddleston can be seen in the BBC’s Wallender.

Apparently, director Branagh believed Wallender would be a good fit.  Tom Hiddleston joins the recently announced Chris Hemsworth who will portray Thor.

In Norse mythology, Loki is the “God of Mischief ” and brother of the more powerful Thor, “God of Thunder.”   Loki was banished from the kindgom of Asgard for defying their father, Odin and is hell bent on getting his brother to share the same fate and misery.
