Loki star Tom Hiddleston had a great reaction after watching his audition for the role of Thor.
Marvel Studios’ Thor films have largely centered on the conflict between Chris Hemsworth’s God of Thunder and Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. While both actors are widely regarded as the perfect choices for their respective roles, Tom Hiddleston actually auditioned for the role of Thor before being cast as Loki.
During an interview on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Tom Hiddleston recounted his 3-month-long audition process for Thor before the host screened footage of the Loki actor’s screen test as the God of Thunder. After watching his Thor audition, Tom Hiddleston simply replied, “I think we can all agree that they cast the right actor.”
