While it’s likely too early to say for sure, Tom Hiddleston, a.k.a. Loki Laufeyson, brother of Thor Odinson, thinks we won’t be seeing him again in Avengers 2. Recently when MSN asked if Loki would appear in the sequel, Hiddleston said,

I don’t know. And that really is the honest answer. I know I’ve been known for obfuscation in other quarters, but I have no idea.

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 somebody else to fight. But I’d love to be part of it again.

I’d like to see a new villain for the Avengers to tackle in the sequel, but I’d be more than happy to have Loki in the mix again, too. Thankfully we haven’t seen the last of him as Hiddleston is reprising the role in Thor: The Dark World, releasing November 8, 2013. With Avengers 2 not releasing until 2015 that’s two years we’ll be Loki-less. I don’t know how the fanbase will manage.

What do you think about Loki appearing again in Avengers 2? Too much Loki? Is there even such a thing?

While the flux-capacitor hasn’t been perfected, and we can’t help you fix any past holiday humbuggery, maybe we can help you get this holiday season off to a good start.

For the next 12 days (Dec 1st-12th), the staff of Nerd Bastards will be listing a few of their favorite nerdy things. Gadgets, doohickeys, thingamabobs and more – all sorts of  items that have been Nerd tested and Bastard approved.  Basically,  stuff you want, things you need, and everything you can’t have.

We hope you’ll  find some unique and nerdtastic gifts among our selections, and that they make their way under your tree, Menorah or Kwanzaa bush.

Hit the jump for Regina Lizik’s list of Nerdful things. Check back tomorrow for Jason McAnelly’s list. To see archive of this feature, click HERE.

I am desperate for a subscription to Loot Crate.  For about $20 a month (including shipping), a box of geek swag is delivered to your door filled with sample and full size products. This is a riff on the girly BirchBox and the dog-loving BarkBox (which I recommend, btw). Getting this would be like a having a mini-Nerdmas every month!

In a recent interview with Total Film, Tom Hiddleston dishes about playing the mischeivious god, Loki, and hints at what we can expect of Thor: The Dark World from director Alan Taylor,

I don’t want to give too much away. But I can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. Alan Taylor’s vision of Thor 2 is utterly brilliant. The journey continues in the most epic dimension and proportion imaginable. It’s very, very exciting.

While I totally believe him because I too have high hopes for Thor 2 and expect it to be brilliant, would Hiddleston actually admit if shit? No, but he probably wouldn’t be involved if that were the case either.

He continues with a fascinating response when asked what it’s like to bring Loki to life,

The best thing about being Loki is that he is my diametric opposite. Physically, he is a photo negative of who I am. Loki is dark and pale, and I am light and fair. Also spiritually I am not much like him either. Yet I feel an incredible freedom in playing him.

He is a combination of mercurial intellectual ability, emotional ambiguity, rakish charm, charisma and provocative wit. He has a wicked inclination to mischief, underneath which is a well of spiritual pain. Both these aspects are central to his depth as a character: his unashamed and perverse delight in creating chaos; and his capacity for raw emotional expression.

And – as my American friends tell me – he’s kind of a badass! He’s one of the richest, most rewarding, most fun characters I’ve ever played. 

He is a total badass. Even if he is, y’know, bad. I think Hiddleston is a marvel as Loki – ucwidt? – and one of many examples of their fantastic decisions in casting. What have thought about his portrayal of Loki in Thor and The Avengers? What would you like to see from in Thor 2?
