Tom Hiddleston is having an awesome year. He stunned the comic book and movie communities as Loki in "Thor," and he'll once again play the Asgardian mischief-maker in next summer's "Avengers." Looking past his impact on the comics scene, Hiddleston also had a memorable turn in Woody Allen's critically acclaimed "Midnight in Paris," has a big role coming up in Steven Spielberg's "War Horse," among other triumphs.
It's all of these projects and more that earned Hiddleston his place in MTV News' Thankful Week. See what the British actor had to say about his amazing year on screen after the jump.
"Yeah, it has been amazing. Amazing that I was even remotely considered for any of those roles. Amazing that I got them, and amazing that they turned into the films that they turned into. It's hard enough to make a film," said Hiddleston in his Thankful Week interview with MTV News. "God knows anyone involved in the business, no one ever sets out to make a bad one. I've just been so very lucky. I've worked with some incredibly talented people whose chances of making a bad film are certainly slimmer, but they're all extraordinary films in their own right."
As for what's next, Hiddleston revealed that he'll star in a trio of Shakespeare adaptations for BBC, in addition to his upcoming work in "Avengers" and "Thor 2."
"The rest is a blank page," he said of his other 2012 plans. "Just the way I like it. The surprises are the best part."
