10 Things You Didn't Know About Thor

5. Tom Hiddleston Almost Became Thor

Today, Tom Hiddleston is most famous for his portrayal of Loki in all three Thor films and the first Avengers feature, but this wasn't originally meant to be.

Indeed, the actor originally auditioned for the part of Thor before being told to try his hand at Loki. He beefed up, donned a long blond get up and, for the most part, swung Mjolnir about as well as Hemsworth could.

But right from the get go it was clear he was meant to play Loki, and with his fourth MCU appearance now under his belt, fans can only hope he'll be gearing up to play the character on another occasion. If not in the next Avengers film, then in another cosmic Marvel film somewhere down the line.
