​Throughout the Marvel films, Tom Hiddleston's character Loki has played a key part. As the adopted brother of Thor, and god of mischief, he often shifted from good to bad, and seemed to be on Thor's side by the end of Thor: Ragnarok.





However, the beginning of ​Avengers: Infinity War reversed his fate. Thanos crushed Loki's skull with just his hand, showing us how powerful of a villain he is, and set a very real tone of fear for the rest of the film.

During a panel at ​ACE Comic Con , Tom reflected on filming his emotional death scene, and spoke of an unexpected reunion.





“It was three days and it was actually interesting,” Tom recalled. “Ebony Maw is played by an Irish actor called Tom Vaughan-Lawler who was my mentor at drama school. I’d never worked with him and there we were on set and I was like, ‘Hey Tom, how’s it going?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, you’ve been doing this for much longer than I have.’ I also thought he was so great in the film. And there was a really nice moment of working with him again.”





Tom also discussed working with the Russo brothers and ​Josh Brolin, who portrayed Thanos.

“Josh Brolin was having the time of his life, sincerely,” he said. “He was really enjoying the freedom. He loved working with the visual effects department and the motion capture because he did lots of tests before we shot. So I was feeding off his enthusiasm and the Russos were incredibly generous because they knew, well, this was the opening of their film and they knew the emotional weight of it and both of them were life, ‘Whoof, this is a big scene,’ and it did feel once we started it went very quickly and it felt kind of a... it was a big day.”





“The moment itself was really emotional,” Tom said of his final scene. “Like, the Russos came up and they were like, ‘Respect.’”

The scene was incredibly emotional for us viewers as well, and unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Loki. The ​other dead characters, however, will most likely return when Avengers 4 hits theaters on May 3, 2019.
