Tom Hiddleston Explains Loki’s Last Shot So Perfectly It Makes The Loki Season 2 Finale Even More Emotional

Tom Hiddleston’s time with Marvel Studios becomes a bigger mystery as the Marvel Cinematic Universe veteran opens up more on that final shot from the Loki season 2 finale.

Screen Rant recently attended Hiddleston’s MegaCon panel, where he talked a bit more about whether or not this could be the end for his character, following the final shot viewers saw in the Loki season 2 finale, as he shared the following:

At the very end of episode 6, of season 2, Justin and Aaron turned to me… We were doing Loki walking up the steps, with timelines in his hands and moving toward sitting in the chair and what that would mean. … Justin and Aaron turned to me and said, ‘I think we’re gonna be in here’ – which is the size of the shot – ‘We’re gonna be really close on your face in about 30 minutes. How can we help you with where you need to be there then.’ And I said, ‘It just makes me think of the 15 years I’ve played this character,’ and Aaron said, ‘Why don’t you go away’ – because the energy of the set is very practical – ‘So just go and take a minute, and why don’t you watch some of the scenes from the last 15 years,’ which was a brilliant note.

It was so clever, because it made me think of – for me, personally, me, tom – it made me reflect on the friendships that I had made in this journey, the people I’d met, the laughter we shared, the lessons that I learned personally. By the time I came back in to shoot the scene, I was carrying all of those memories with me, and it felt very fresh and very resonant. It all came from Justin and Aaron’s suggestion to do that.

So that last shot, it’s me thinking of all the people that I’ve shared this journey with, which is who he’s talking about in the end, when he says, ‘For you, for all of us.’
