Tom Hiddleston explains why it was so important for Marvel to finally confirm Loki is bisexual, saying, 'It’s a small step. There’s so much more to do. But the Marvel Cinematic Universe has to reflect the world we live in.'
Tom Hiddleston has explained why the Marvel Cinematic Universe made Loki openly bisexual in his spinoff show, Loki. Hiddleston first appeared as the Norse god in Kenneth Branagh's 2011 Thor, and has since appeared in five other MCU films. This past year, Hiddleston starred in the Disney+ exclusive series Loki, which followed the eponymous anti-hero as he traverses multiple timelines with the Time Variance Authority.
In both Norse mythology and in several comic book versions, Loki is queer, with several incarnations of the character being genderfluid. While Loki's sexuality was never alluded to during Hiddleston's run in the MCU films, his Loki was revealed to be bisexual in the Disney+ series.
“Back from my early days of researching the character in the ancient myths, the identity of Loki was fluid in every aspect and in gender, in sexuality. It’s a very ancient part of the character and I think I thought about it. … It hadn’t emerged in the stories we’ve told. And I was really pleased and privileged, actually, that it’s came up in the series. It’s a small step. There’s so much more to do. But the Marvel Cinematic Universe has to reflect the world we live in.
While Hiddleston admits that he was pleased to incorporate Loki's queerness into the MCU, not all fans were so pleased. Critics called the reveal minor and dismissive and said that the MCU was patting itself on the back too much for a mere four words of representation.
The MCU has gotten into hot water before for their lack of LGBTQ+ diversity and for their feeble attempts at representation. However, Hiddleston has clearly done his homework on the character and was proud to portray even a small portion of Loki's queer identity. While Loki coming out on-screen was not done to the caliber that many LGBTQ+ fans had hoped, both Hiddleston and the Loki team seem to be very on board with exploring more of Loki's sexuality and gender identity.
