"I don't want to give too much away. But I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed," Hiddleston told Total Film. "[Director] Alan Taylor's vision of Thor 2 is utterly brilliant.

"The journey continues in the most epic dimension and proportion imaginable. It's very, very exciting."

Hiddleston went on to discuss what it is about Loki that he enjoys playing most, pinpointing the character's vulnerability and feelings of inferiority within his family.

"Underneath the steely cold veneer of his trickster charm is a certain vulnerability and sensitivity - the wounded fragility of an outcast brother and son.

"His mind is a box of cats though! But I love him."

Hiddleston recently admitted that he initially thought he had "been rubbish" in Thor.

Thor: The Dark World will be released on November 8, 2013.
