Loki Fandom?
*taps microphone* Hello? Loki Fandom? Is this thing on?
Yes? Hi hello! Moment of your attention please.
There have been some rumors of replacing Mr. Hiddleston in the Loki series. Please remain calm. Wait and see what happens.
In the meantime, I would like to posit that, in my unprofessional opinion, that Jonah Beres is the only actor that could come CLOSE to acting under the mantle of Loki. And it's quite unfortunate that most of you have never heard of him. So here's why I explain why this kid would be a great casting choice for the role.

First, his work in Balloon. He played a bullied kid with superpowers so he's already had fight choreography safety lessons, motion acting for superpower action lessons, and wire harness safety rigging for flight/fight action scenes. Beres would be in his element in the role of a young Loki.
Did I say a young Loki? I did. And with the powers if the Tesseract, young and original Loki can share the screen. I met him briefly at San Diego Comic Con, and he is excited, energetic, deferential, and a true gentleman. Not that I have a reputation to speak of, but if I did, I would still fully endorse this actor with no sweat.
Disclaimer: As far as I know, he has not been cast in nor approached for the role. This is a fan-casting based on what I know of my fellow fandom, their needs and concerns, and how I feel that this actor would be sensitive to the needs and fears of that community, and be professional enough to navigate the obligations that come with a role of that caliber.
Look at that reflection in the piano on the last pic and tell me I'm wrong about this kid playing Loki.
