Over the years, fans have gotten used to associating Tom Hiddleston’s name with Marvel’s god of mischief. However, it looks like those days are now officially over. While the world has seen him killed and resurrected many times, the actor recently revealed that his Loki days were now bygones. Although it is the end of an era for the superhero franchise, some already want to see him take up another iconic role.

Recently, the world has been debating who could play James Bond with Daniel Craig retiring from the role. While many want it to be Henry Cavill or Aaron Tayler Johnson, the 42-year-old offered his thoughts on being offered the role.

In a recent interview with Josh Horowitz, Tom Hiddleston opened up about saying goodbye to his role as Loki. The series came to an end after two intense seasons and left fans in a daze. During his time on Happy Sad Confused, he was asked how he would feel if he was given the role of James Bond. Much to everyone’s surprise, instead of losing his mind at playing the thrilling spy, the actor said that it would be “terrifying.”

Along with the question of playing the spy, Hiddleston was also asked about the possibility of starring in a Broadway musical. While that seemed to get a laugh out of the actor, he went on to agree that a James Bond musical would “absolutely” be “too terrifying” for him to even think of. Although the host and he were just cracking jokes, the spy world is restless without an actor at the moment.
