If you’re anything like the TMS staffers, you likely let out a cheer when Tom Hiddleston’s Loki confirmed his bisexuality in the first season of his eponymous Disney+ series. Of course, Loki has long been a canon bisexual in the comics, but this was the first time that his sexuality was acknowledged in the Marvel cinematic universe. Hiddleston discussed the moment with Lily James (Pam and Tommy) during Variety’s “Actors on Actors”, which saw the two interviewing one another.

Hiddleston noted his long tenure as the god of mischief, saying “Loki’s changed so much over the years for me. I was cast when I was 29, and I’m 41.” He delved into the evolution of the character and the MCU, saying “Initially, with the wigs and the costume, I was always trying to break out of the mask. Let something honest come through. By the time we got to the series, Loki’s stripped of all the things that are familiar. Immediately, he’s literally stripped and put in a jumpsuit, and his status is gone. Everyone knows who the character is now. Let’s open him up and find new aspects of him and challenge the character to change and grow.”
