Tom Hiddleston Almost Played Thor


Tom Hiddleston owns the role playing baddie Loki, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But did you know that he tried out for the role of Thor?

When casting was underway for the first "Thor" film Hiddleston auditioned for the title role. At the time he was primarily known for working with "Thor" director Kenneth Branagh on the British series  "Wallander".

The role ultimately went to Australian soap star Chris Hemsworth, yet Hiddleston's audition was so well regarded that he was pegged to play Loki.

Marvel's February 25th Blu-ray release of "Thor: The Dark World" includes Hiddleston's original audition for the role.
