Kevin Feige:“The scene with Loki in chains being led towards Odin at the beginning of the movie was one of the additional photography scenes, and it actually came about for a couple of reasons. I was reading the tie-in comic and they had that scene in it. I get all the comics when they’re published – I flip through some of them, and I was flipping through that one and I went, ‘Holy crap – this has got to be in the movie!’ It’s slightly different in the comic than it is in the movie, but I thought this has to be in the movie. So I called Tom [Hiddleston] and we talked about his availability, and we said we were gonna do this scene. So he goes, ‘Remember, I pitched you that scene. Months ago!’ Well, I did not remember, but I believed him, and I’m happy for him to take credit for it because he does an amazing job in the movie.” [x]
Tom always ahead of them lol
Yes! Proof that he is smarter and more talented than them and has the perfect understanding of his character and Marvel didn’t deserve him.
Proof both that TH knows his character better than anyone else and that Marvel doesn’t give a shit and never had. They HAD a perfect villain, who was perfect precisely because he wasn’t a villain and because he was relatable and complex and people loved him. But they decided that since maybe Loki had a bit too many female fans and looked a little bit effeminate and wasn’t much of a heavy muscly hitter and used brains instead of force… That maybe he had cooties, you know, so better let him go or Marvel’s masculinity would be questioned or something. So they squandered a perfectly rich and nuanced character in favor of a muscly, gigantic and overpowered New Awesome Villain ™ with the most laughable and forced Moral Dilemma ™ ever that would totally appeal to the target adolescent male audience and pushed him down everybody’s throats.
Thanks for nothing, Feige. Your intelligence is on the same level as that of the adolescents you’re trying to woo, except they’ll grow and wise up and you… Well… won’t.

Tom has been the go-to for silliness for so long, and while it is – of course – fun to watch, it has now been done so many times. He’s not that eager young pup with something to prove any more, and this simply seems like a clear message that he and his management team have made a conscious decision to draw a line under playing the fool for the sake of it. (He also politely declined to dance on the Asian leg of KSI last year. As he said at that time: ‘it’s all available on YouTube’). I’m sure people will have their own opinions on this, but for me it doesn’t mean he’s turned into an old grouch. Just look at the recent press tour for confirmation of that. He’s just saying, ‘it’s been done. Let’s move on’.
This story is called “The Circus Bear Learns How To Say No” 🐻❤️
What does he mean he’s “not allowed” to do them, though? That seems strange.
“BC also knows TNM exists. Yeah, still haven’t let that go.” – Sorry, what haven’t you let go? I feel like I am forgetting something that happened.
Nope, BC always knew about TNM. He even mentioned it in the interview for Interview Magazine.
It was at Wizard World in 2016, where Tom was pumping up Chris’ work, Ghostbusters, etc. And then the moderator asked him about TNM, and Chris said, seriously, “What’s The Night Manager?” And then tried to play it off like maybe it hadn’t been in Australia yet (it had). Like he truly had no idea that Tom did other stuff.
