Tom Hiddleston Cast as Thor’s Enemy, Loki

Before we had a chance to run a Fantasy Cast for this, Marvel has gone right ahead and cast Loki without any suggestions from our avid readers.   Tom Hiddleston has been put into the role of Thor’s mortal enemy.   This move reunites Hiddleston with director Kenneth Branagh, who directed the young actor in a stage production of “Ivanov.”   The two also appeared together in the BBC mini-series “Wallander.”

In the comics, Loki and Thor are raised by Odin as brothers before becoming sworn enemies.   Loki makes several attempts at defeating Thor and taking control of Asgard.

‘Thor’ is set for release on May 20th, 2011.
