Tom Hiddleston has described his character of Loki in The Avengers as more menacing than we saw in Thor.
The actor will be reprising the role on Joss Whedon's The Avengers, which also stars Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans; the Marvel heroes all banding together to stop him.
Speaking to The Huffington Post the actor said:"Essentially, he's come down to Earth to subjugate it, to rule the human race as their king.
"And his primary argument is this planet is rife and populated by people who are constantly fighting each other. If they're all united together in their reverence of one king, there will be no war."
And the actor admits that Loki is very different second time around - he knows who he is and what he wants.
"He changes in that he is definitively more menacing.A lot more. Loki in Thor is a lost prince, and there is a degree of vulnerability and confusion in his identity.
"In The Avengers, he knows exactly who he is, he's fully self-possessed, and he's here with a particular mission."
But before we see Hiddleston in The Avengers he swaps big budget blockbuster for drama as he is set to star in The Deep Blue Sea.
The film sees him work alongside Rachel Weisz in a movie that will close the BFI London Film Festival next week. He will also star in Steven Spielberg's War Horse in the New Year.
The Avengers is released 4th Mary 2012.
