This guy is now a director, but it seems he worked for Marvel and has insight into the audition process when they were auditioning for the first Thor. twitter,com/briancrano/status/1125085305529196544
Also great to see that headline/story making the rounds on a few big-name accounts.
I read somewhere that Loki is not important anymore. His story is done. I don’t think so, his story begins, there is so much to come. And there are a lot waiting for it.

glassheart: “Tom and me ❤️ I CAN’T BREATHE ❤️❤️❤️💘”
velvetrine: “I also got extremely lucky to get a moment with this cool guy despite him being obviously exhausted and the rest of the cast. And I am still not over it!”

If you want to share your opinions and point of view on the scene of Loki in Endgame, write me a message.
public opinion: loki’s face is so much more tight and thin in endgame than in avengers. His cheekbones so dug. Tom had his baby face so much in 2012 compared to now. Even though I like both of them so much. I miss his little cheeks all round and soft.
Okay, I’ll talk about the scene on Loki. It made me so happy to see him. We were half surprised because with the photos of the paparazzi while filming Tom with his muzzle, it was almost logical that we would see Loki. Even his injuries are identical. Always so charismatic. Because indirectly by using this tesseract to travel elsewhere, he is still alive. Even if he did not live things (as we have seen) after 2012. Even if he does not know for his mother, he will necessarily learn and especially know everything at one time or another. And finally, maybe he’ll feel less guilty about telling the monster to go up to Odin’s rooms when finally there was Frigga and Jane. Where I find it a shame is that he never met Jane finally. Although he will never be gone to Sakaar, I am rather satisfied because I had not managed to accept this new style that they wanted to include in the character. So if it never happened it’s as good. Now, he hides up to come back even stronger. I can not wait to see what the series will give to us. More scenes, more quotes, another costume, maybe love moments, so more Loki! ^^
A Chinese commercial for Centrum showing Tom Hiddleston cooking breakfast for a mystery woman goes viral on Chinese social media after the British actor shares the ad on his official Weibo page.
A Chinese commercial for Centrum showing Tom Hiddleston cooking breakfast for a mystery woman has gone viral on social media after the British actor shared the ad on his official Weibo page.
Key points:
Hiddleston’s post of his Centrum ad received 33,000 likes and was shared 17,000 times
The British actor’s almost perfect Chinese accent also won the hearts of his audience
The ad is a rare success in Western companies’ attempts to target Chinese buyers
The video was filmed from the point of view of the Chinese viewer watching the commercial, making it appear as if Hiddleston was cooking for the viewer.
“Hey, good morning! I finished early, so I popped by and made you breakfast,” the English actor said in the video as he handed the breakfast — a heart-shaped fried egg placed on a plate of cold sliced vegetables — to the woman with a guilty smile.
Tens of thousands of Chinese social media users responded positively to the commercial and reposted the video with enthusiasm.
Hiddleston’s original post received more than 33,000 likes and was shared 17,000 times on Weibo.
While Western fans found the advertisement “creepy” and “uncomfortable”, the video with many romantic elements — tailored to the Chinese market — seemed to work like a charm on the targeted audience.
The almost flawless way Hiddleston said “don’t forget your Centrum” in Mandarin also won the hearts of his audience.
“I’m going to buy Centrum! No-one can stop me,” one Chinese Hiddleston fan with the nickname Lusenji commented below the video, along with many emojis.
Another Weibo user with the nickname Tom Hiddleston’s little Sakya, posted: “Husband, I’m buying it now” along with a screenshot of a virtual shopping cart displaying Centrum products.
Centrum ad a rare success for Western companies
Hiddleston gained his popularity from his casting as Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, and his Chinese fans have given him the nickname Dousen, which phonetically sounds the same as part of his surname — ddleston.
In China, Hiddleston is often being compared with another British actor, Benedict Cumberbatch, who also has millions of followers in the country and fans given him his own Chinese nickname, Juanfu, which literally translates to Curly Sherlock.
Zhang Kuangjie, an assistant professor of marketing from the Nanyang Technological University, told the BBC the ad appealed to the “fans’ fantasies”.
“The fact that he speaks very good Chinese [in the ad] further adds to [his] likeability,” he said.
“For a Chinese woman to be served by a man is not common in Asia, let alone a Caucasian man, so that’s something that adds to that [fantasy] element.”
The Centrum ad is a rare success in Western companies’ attempts to target Chinese buyers.
Global Times, a Chinese state-owned tabloid, published an article in February titled “Why Western brands’ Chinese advertisements always make a fool of themselves”, which labelled the advertisements culturally insensitive.
Last November, Fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana released an ad showing a woman of an Asian appearance struggling to eat spaghetti with chopsticks.
Many Chinese consumers said the ad was “racist” and have boycotted the company’s products until this day.
It's more the hate-filled misogyny, obsessive ownership, and encouraging dangerous narratives and harassment ("teaching him a lesson" for not doing what they want, basically) that is bad. That's not criticism. The way these types gleefully enjoyed punishing him for "betraying" them and wanted him to learn a lesson is pretty much an abusive mindset. If it suited them, they'd hate and hate on a relationship until they drove it into the ground or hurt one of the people involved, IMO.
The ad was embarrassing and I’m not a Brit. Stop making excuses for Tom he’s career has taken a dive. He had Jaguar and Gucci now herbal pills. He needs to get his shit together.
Get over yourself. It’s an ad for vitamins in China, it’s not that deep. 🙄
