One of the great things about Marvels movies is that every one of them has its fans. For every homerun Guardians, The Avengers, The Winter Soldier theres a First Avenger or Incredible Hulk held in equally high esteem by a sizeable pocket of admirers. Thors first solo outing certainly fits into that category, with Kenneth Branaghs ambitious fantasy retaining the affections of plenty of MCU acolytes despite a middling overall reception. One character, however, who was a hit across the board was Loki, brought to life with impish glee by Tom Hiddleston. And Hiddleston brought a whole lot more than scheming chicanery to the table, showing the full range of his acting pedigree alongside fellow Brit Anthony Hopkins when Odin reveals Loki aint a true Odinson. The result was a simple, powerful scene that fully justified the Marvel blueprint of favouring accomplished actors over movie stars.
