With The Avengers opening next weekend in North America, Marvel/Disney recently held a massive press junket in Los Angeles and I was able to interview most of the cast, director Joss Whedon, and Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios President). Every day this week I’ll be posting a new video interview from the junket and to start things off I’ve got Tom Hiddleston (Loki).
During the interview, Hiddleston talked about his reaction to reading the script for the first time, how kids react when they see him (he tells a great story about Mark Ruffalo‘s son), and what he’s excited about doing in Thor 2 (which starts filming in London later this year). Hit the jump to watch.
Finally, as I’ve said many times on Twitter, I absolutely loved The Avengers. Featuring a fantastic script, amazing action, and terrific performances, The Avengers delivers on every level. Also, make sure you stay through the credits…

Tom Hiddleston
- His reaction to reading the script for the first time.
- I mention that story he told me about when they were filming and he went to the movies with Chris Hemsworth. I then ask if he has any other stories about kids seeing him and then freaking out. He tells a great story about Mark Ruffalo’s son on set and the premiere
- Thor 2 talk. Talks about what he’s excited about doing in the sequel

Can you guys PLEASE get a video player that’s iPad compatible? Your interviews are great, but I rarely get to use them because I do 95% of my web surfing on my iPad.
+1 on that request. LOVE your interviews Frosty I only wish I could watch them from my iPad or iPhone. Otherwise: Keep up the great job! Your joy and enthusiasm shines through in your interviews and you can tell the actors, etc love it!
Apart from the theoretical get payed for scratching your balls, Frosty very much does have the best job in the world. I’m sure it’s fucking hard at times, but I would PAY money to do the shit he does.
I third that.
Same here. I’m always on my ipod touch when I’m at college, so hopefully the vids can be uploaded as Youtube vids.
4th that
Co-signed. Please! I always enjoy your interviews immensely, but I hate to wait until I can get my hands on something other than iPad/iPhone and finally watch them.
I second that Ipad compatable comment from John.
Yes, I have to agree with those other guys. I thought something was wrong with my iPad, but then I get on here and found out that everyone else couldn’t get the interview to work on theirs as well. Loved the interview though, just wanted to see it on my iPad.
Cumberbatch is a far better actor
^ Random. But Tom’s hotter, at least he has facial symmetry! Nyah :p
what does Cumberbatch have to do with Avengers? Anyway, don’t see how he is far better actor than Tom, so completely disagree with that. Michelle is right too.
