Tom Hiddleston reveals interest in playing Galactus in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

April 26, 2018 by Samuel Brace

Tom Hiddleston has said that he would love to play Galactus in a future Marvel movie.

With Avengers: Infinity War now upon us and Avengers 4 on the horizon, the story of Thanos is seemingly coming to an end, which means that our Marvel heroes will be looking for a new villain to take on.

One character that fans would love to see done justice on the big screen, and someone who could pose an enormous threat, is Galactus. And with the Disney/Fox deal in the works, perhaps the foe might find his way into the MCU.

An actor who would love to play the role is Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston. The Avengers star was asked in a recent interview with Collider about which other Marvel character he would like to play and initially he opted for a lesser-known hero:

“Gosh, I don’t know. Is there a Captain Britain? Is he an interesting character? Probably there is.”

After thinking about it a little, Hiddleston’s final choice was the aforementioned villain: “The one I used to love when i was a child was Galactus. Could be motion capture. Does one get to double up? Chris Evans got to double up, I suppose.”

Do you like the sound of Hiddleston as Galactus? Would you like the villain to be the next big threat to the MCU?

An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.

Avengers: Infinity War stars Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Paul Bettany (Vision), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Josh Brolin (Thanos), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Benedict Wong (Wong), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Bradley Cooper (Rocket), Sean Gunn (Rocket), Vin Diesel (Groot), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Benicio Del Toro (The Collector), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Letitia Wright (Shuri), Winston Duke (M’Baku), Terry Notary (Cull Obsidian), Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Ebony Maw), Carrie Coon (Proxima Midnight), Michael James Shaw (Corvus Glaive) and Peter Dinklage (Eitri).
