“I was honored to be asked,” Hiddleston said of what it was like to be asked to return as Loki in the Disney+ series. “We all wanted to keep the integrity of the character – I wanted to make sure we didn’t lose parts that people loved by doing something new. I also hope that Loki’s bisexual recognition meant a lot to the people who noticed it. It was a small step, and there is much more to come. But it was definitely important to all of us.»
