Last year,Loki Season 2seemingly wrapped up Tom Hiddleston’s 12-year run as the Norse God of Mischief.
But for now, Hiddleston is treating it as his farewell to the character.
Hiddleston was paired with Shogun’s Anna Sawai forVariety’s annual Actors on Actors feature.
During their conversation, Sawai praised Loki’s last words–“I know what I want.
I know what kind of god I need to be–for you.
For all of us.”
– before Hiddleston explained how the line was a callback to one of his scenes in 2011’s Thor.
“Our brilliant directors found me and said, ‘What do you think you might want to say?’
For all of us,'” recalled Hiddleston.
“It’s full of need, desperation, yearning for acceptance, and misguided intention.
It’s full of his own broken heart.
I thought, ‘I wonder if I should say that again?’
“In his last moment, he gets agency,” said Hiddleston.
“He gets to decide what his life has represented up until this point.
His final utterance is one of profound love and generosity.
That the journey of a thousand miles has led us here.
It was very satisfying and moving for me too, because its been such a long journey.”
That sense of … the exhale.”
Both seasons of Loki are streaming on Disney+.
