    Tom appeared on MTV News to chat about Loki on Wednesday – touching upon his character’s gender-fluid identity.

    ‘It’s been in the story of the character for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Loki is a trickster; boundaries and identity have always been fluid,’ he said. ‘And I’ve really enjoyed that.

    ‘I remember when I was first cast, reading about that stuff, and I’m really pleased that we have a place to explore it.’

    He went on: ‘I’m excited to explore his magical power. I think that’s something that we’ve never really tapped into in a deep way in the MCU.

    ‘I knew we were going to get into it, and apart from being self-important, hubristic, and puffed-up, he can be, in the comics, highly-skilled at magic.

    ‘And we might get to see a bit more of that in the series.’
