Tom Hiddleston says that he looks at Robert Capa's life in 'heroic terms'.
The British actor is set to take on the role of photographer Capa in the new biopic that will be directed by Paul Andrew Williams.
The movie will follow the life of Capa as he makes a stand against fascism and the consequences of his actions.
Speaking to Shortlist the actor said: "I look at [Capa's] life and see it in heroic terms.
"A Hungarian kicked out of Hungary for writing against fascism, he moved to Germany where he was kicked out for being Jewish, then he moved to France and from there began a life-long commitment to make a stand against forces of fascism."
We are set to see plenty of Hiddleston in 2013 as he has completed work on London Project and Only Lovers Left Alive.
This autumn he is also set to reprise the role of Loki in Thor: The Dark World - the second stand alone Thor movie.
He is currently working on The Muppets... Again, which is set for release next year.
