As Hiddleston revealed, all of the movie's fights were meticulously choreographed in order to get the angles needed on camera. But despite all of that well-planned choreography, sometimes you need a good ol' slap to make the scene. So during the filming of 2012's The Avengers, Hiddleston decided to ask Hemsworth to actually hit him, and umm...let's just say that it didn't go well.
"Thor had to strike Loki across the face and I was wearing the horns, which weigh about 30 pounds," Hiddleston explained. "I couldn't really sell the hit, the smack. So I just said to Chris, 'I think you should just hit me in the face.'"
"I went down like a stone," the actor hilariously revealed. "And I supposed, on stage when you're doing a fight [Hiddleston is a noted stage actor], you have to do it every night 100 odd performance. I think if I was being hit in the face by Chris Hemsworth day after day, I don't know if I would be able to mange that. It wouldn't be sustainable."

Hiddleston is also gearing up for his new Disney+ show, Loki . The series will premiere in spring of 2021, but that hasn't stopped fans from asking about Loki's fate since the character was killed in Avengers: Infinity War and later took off with the Space Stone in Avengers: Endgame .
Luckily, it seems like Loki will finally answer those fans' questions. "In the years since Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, which came out this spring, two questions I've been asked: 'Is Loki really dead?' and 'What is Loki doing with that cube?' It's always the cube somehow. And this series will answer both of those questions," Hiddleston revealed.
