'Thor: Ragnarok' updates: Loki not in awe of Doctor Strange's powers, says Tom Hiddleston

    Although Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is dubbed as the Sorcerer Supreme, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) does not think that he is a force to reckon with in the upcoming "Thor: Ragnarok" movie.

In the latest interview of IGN with Hiddleston, the actor was asked how his character will perceive the presence of Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange in the final "Thor" movie. After all, with Doctor Strange's brand of sorcery, many believe that Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) adopted brother may need to think twice before dealing with him. However, in the said interview, Hiddleston dismisses the perception of the many that Loki  may be wary of his actions with Doctor Strange around.

"Yes, his (Doctor Strange's) sorcery is very impressive, but Loki has been doing that for centuries," Hiddleston said in the interview.

While Loki will not be threatened by Doctor Strange's powers, the same thing cannot be said about how he feels toward Hela (Cate Blanchett), the upcoming villain in "Thor: Ragnarok" as Hiddleston revealed in the same interview that Hela is "a different piece and full of surprises."

          

         In fact, because of Hela, Thor and Loki will set aside their conflict for a while and join forces, in order to deal with the upcoming villain and spare Asgard from its imminent destruction.

"Cate Blanchett is playing the goddess of death who brings destruction in her wake. It's the kind of destruction that both Thor and Loki have never seen, on a scale of terror they've never ever seen before. So, they fall back on their brotherhood, fractured though. It is to see what they can do to stop her," Hiddleston further revealed, still, in the same interview with IGN while promoting "Kong: Skull Island" some weeks ago.

Loki's fear of Hela is understandable, though. While the villain has not been introduced in Marvel comic books, it issuspected that she is the movie version of Mistress Death, who, in the comic books, becomes Thanos' motivation to wipe out half of the universe so that she can be impressed.
