Lily James is praising Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki character for coming out as bisexual in the recent Disney+ series.
Tom and Lily sat down for a chat as party of Variety’s Actors on Actors series. During the conversation, she brought up how Loki is the first explicitly queer character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Tom responded, “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.”
He added, “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. So it was an honor to bring that up. It was really important to me. It was really important to [director] Kate Herron and [showrunner] Michael Waldron, and I’m pleased that we could bring it into our story.”

Lily replied, “How incredible. What an impact that can make on such a widely seen universe, which becomes people’s religion. And for people to feel represented and to see themselves, it’s just so important.”
The conversation was to promote Lily‘s Pam & Tommy and Tom‘s Loki.
