Loki Isn't Actually the First Time Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson Starred Together

Summary:

• Loki is praised as one of Marvel's best recent offerings with great actor chemistry, notably between Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston.
• Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson had previously collaborated in Woody Allen 's Midnight in Paris.
• Both Midnight in Paris and Loki actually feature time travel elements.

Loki season 2 has ended, delivering one of the best Marvel content of recent years. While great visuals, engaging storyline, and exceptional directing largely contributed to the show’s success, we can’t help but mention the acting and the chemistry between actors; especially the one between Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston.

You might be surprised to find out that Tom Hiddleston, who portrayed our beloved Loki, and Owen Wilson, who portrayed Mobius, actually worked together before.

Talented Duo of Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson Starred Together In Woody Allen’s 2001 Film

In Midnight in Paris, released in 2011, we see Owen Wilson as the nostalgic writer Gil, roaming around the streets of Paris and magically traveling back to the 1920s every night.

It's a dreamy, time-travel adventure, and none other than Tom Hiddleston pops up in this blast from the past, but not as the mischievous Loki we all adore. Instead, he's portraying the dashing and legendary F. Scott Fitzgerald, with all the charm and charisma of the famous author.

Owen Wilson's Gil is a wide-eyed writer, totally enamored with the past. He's funny, a bit clumsy, and completely lovable. Wilson brings his signature laid-back, easy-going vibe to the character, making us all wish we could stroll through Paris with him.

Tom Hiddleston as F. Scott Fitzgerald is a scene-stealer. He's suave, sophisticated, and totally embodies the spirit of the Jazz Age. Watching him, you'd think he stepped right out of the pages of a 1920s novel.

Hiddleston nails the role, showing off his range way before he became such a powerhouse in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. By the way, Hiddleston debuted as Loki in the same year, in the 2011 Thor.

Midnight in Paris and Loki Actually Share Some Similarities

In Midnight in Paris, Hiddleston and Wilson don't really get into any Loki-style shenanigans, but these two gems share something in common. The most apparent similarity is the element of time travel. Both narratives use time travel as a vehicle for exploring history and nostalgia.

And of course, the vibe between Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson is noteworthy in both projects.
