British actor Tom Hiddleston, who portrayed Thor villian Loki, has revealed that he is not sure if he will be returning to play the character in The Avengers sequel.
“I don’t know, and that is really the honest answer. I know I’ve been known for obfuscation in other quarters, but I have no idea,” he said. ” I haven’t spoken to Joss. He’s definitely doing it. So I suspect not, only because I think that probably the audiences are tired of Loki being the bad guy.Maybe the Avengers need someone else to fight. | Full Story

See the Elephant, and several other sites. He spent a year watching and
reviewing a documentary every day for his blog, Days of Docs, so now he
