20 Greatest Performances In Superhero Movies
10. Tom Hiddleston - Loki (The Avengers)
Loki deserves special credit because, to date, he's managed to be more fun and interesting than Chris Hemsworth's Thor in all three of their shared MCU outings.
Tom Hiddleston came out of relative obscurity and made the God of Mischief role distinctly his own, walking a fine line between genuine charm and outright creepiness that's deliriously entertaining to watch. After all, who can resist that cheeky, villainous grin?
It's often said that the MCU has trouble crafting compelling villains, but in all of his unexpected psychological complexity, Loki stands tall as an archetypal baddie everyone loves to hate, even if you can't occasionally help but feel a little sorry for Thor's adopted brother too.
