Tom Hiddleston has been playing Loki for more than a decade now, starting with 2011's Thor and continuing to the Disney Plus series that debuted last year. His lengthy tenure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has made him practically synonymous with the trickster god, but Hiddleston still sees himself as a "temporary torchbearer" for the character.

As reported by Variety, Hiddleston discussed his role in a lengthy panel discussion hosted by the Royal Television Society. Topics included the various Loki variants played by Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant, and others, leading to Hiddleston's "torchbearer" comment.

"I'm a temporary torchbearer. I've always thought that," Hiddleston said. "It's a great role. It's an archetype, the trickster god, the agent of chaos. I'm just here interpreting that for the time being. Loki has been here for centuries and will be here for centuries more and I'm just stepping into that silhouette for now."

Hiddleston appears to be referring at least in part to Loki's role in the real Norse pantheon, which was famously appropriated for Marvel's Comics in the 1960s. Following Loki Season 1, Hiddleston said he was "open to everything" when it comes to playing Loki.

"I'm open to everything. I have said goodbye to the character. I've said hello to the character. I said goodbye to the character [again]. I've learned not to make assumptions, I suppose. I'm just grateful that I'm still here, and there are still new roads to explore," Hiddleston said at the time.

Looking back on the TV show, Hiddleston said he was drawn at least in part by its originality.

"This idea of somehow the [Time Variance Authority] confronting Loki with the shape-shifting nature of his identity and asking him 'Who are you?' I found it a new avenue to explore with this character I've been playing for a while," Hiddleston said. "It felt original. It didn't feel like we were repeating."

We praised Loki Season 1 in our review, saying that it managed to "overcome an uneven first half to become a great and exhilaratingly consequential season of television." Many of the key threads for MCU Phase 4 were established in Loki, including the multiverse and more.

Hiddleston talked about a breakfast he had with writer Michael Waldron about the character and the question about whether someone can truly change.

"Michael [Waldron] and I were having breakfast a couple of years ago when [he'd] written that first pilot and found ourselves talking about psychoanalytic theory and repetition compulsion and [the question of] can you ever change?” Hiddleston recalled. "Is it possible for people to change? Even if you do will people accept that you’ve changed? Is it possible to know yourself entirely?"

"And then Owen [Wilson] came and was so forensic about examining all of that stuff, and then we realized we were in a police detective thriller. When I was cast as Loki however many years ago, I never thought this character is a detective. But he is here."

Hiddleston is set to reprise his famous role in Loki Season 2, where he will star alongside Wilson, who will once again play Agent Mobius. In a separate interview, Wilson said that he expects production on Loki Season 2 to begin "pretty soon."

The next major MCU show is Moon Knight, which is set to premiere on March 30.

Apple's Peek Performance Brought a surprising number of products and updates from the expected iPhone SE and iPad Air updates, and a most unexpected Mac Studio and Studio Display. In case you couldn't watch the event as it happened, we've collated all the announcements as they happened from Apple's spring hardware event.

Apple TV+ Baseball

Apple kicked off a show by announcing it's carrying Friday night baseball with 2 games a night. This is the first time live sports is coming to Apple’s TV streaming service.

New iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Colors

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro will soon be available in a new extremely verdant “alpine green” colorway. The new models will be available for preorder starting March 18.

iPhone SE ft. A15 Bionic

We knew it was coming and the updated iPhone SE is finally here. As we expected it features Apple’s latest A15 Bionic processor and the same old design complete with a home button. Not only do you get the latest chip with this affordable iPhone, but it also features the same toughest glass as the company’s other mobile devices, plus it features IP67 water and dust resistance.

With the new chip on board, the new iPhone SE also supports 5G connectivity. The 12MP camera has also been updated with Deep Fusion to capture images with dramatically better texture, detail, and reduced noise in lower light.

The iPhone SE will be available on March 18 for a starting price of $429 and preorders begin this Friday, March 11.

New M1-powered iPad Air

The long-awaited updated iPad Air is finally here and it has everything we’ve been waiting for and then some. We expected the iPad Air would get a new chip with the A15 Bionic, but Apple is leap-frogging that and installing an M1 inside it. According to Apple, the M1 delivers 60 percent faster performance than the A14, 2x faster graphics than A14. Apple also makes bold claims the iPad Air is 2x faster than any Windows laptop in its price range and even showed off its latest slate running Apex Legends.

The display has also been upgraded to Liquid Retina so it features 500-nits of brightness and HDR – but no mention of ProMotion 120Hz support. Those that use their iPad for video calls will love the new 12-megapixel ultrawide front camera with a Center Stage feature that keeps you in the frame.

The iPad Air starts at $599 for 64GB of storage capacity. It’s available for preorder starting Friday, March 8 and it releases on March 18.

M1 Ultra

Apple unleashed a new computing chip called the M1 Ultra that goes beyond the M1 Max. This new chip is essentially two M1 Max chips that act as one through an extensive connection called UltraFusion. The resulting chip features a 20 core CPU (16 high performance cores, 4 efficiency cores), 64 core GPU. At the same time Apple claims its new silicon ​​uses 65% less power than 16-core desktop.

Mac Studio

Apple has introduced a new desktop with the Mac Studio. From the outside it looks like an extra tall Mac Mini. It features two fans internally to pull cool air from the bottom and push heat out the back. It also has a bevy of ports including two USB-C and a SD card reader up front, plus HDMI, USB-A, Ethernet, and even more USB-C on the back.

Equipped with just an M1 Max processor, Apple claims it’s 50% faster than 16-core Xeon Mac Pro. And then with an M1 Ultra it’s supposedly 60% faster than a 28-core Xeon Mac Pro. And even with all that power the Mac Studio will apparently use 1,000kwh less energy than a PC desktop over the course of a year.

The Mac Studio with M1 Max starts at $1,999. Meanwhile, the M1 Ultra-powered Mac Studio costs $3,999 to start.

Apple Studio Display

Apple also introduced the Studio Display as its latest over-the-top computer monitor alongside the Mac Studio. It features a nearly bezel-less 27-inch display with a 5K resolution that puts it at 218 pixels per inch. It also offers 600-nits of brightness, TrueTone, anti-reflective coating, and six speakers including four woofers and two tweeters.

Interestingly this monitor also has an A13 processor built in that’s used only to power the Center stage experience for the built-in 12-megapixel front cam. You’ll also find three USB-C ports and also one Thunderbolt that pushes 96w of power, enough to charge most MacBook Pros.

The Apple Studio Display will retail for $1,599.

It's nearly spring, and you know what that means; it's time for another Apple event. While fall is typically the most exciting time for new phones and Macs, Apple's early year event usually introduces more affordable iPhones and other scintillating hardware.

During its latest Peek Performance event on March 8, we predict Apple will be introducing a new 5G capable iPhone SE and give the iPad Air a long-overdue upgrade. Of course, Apple is likely to make a few other surprise announcements like new M1-powered Mac desktop systems and more. Here's how you'll be able to watch the event live as if you were there yourself and what to expect from the show.

When to watch Apple Unleashed

Apple will hold its Peek Performance keynote on Tuesday, March 8 at 10am PT/1pm ET/11pm UK (Wednesday, March 9 at 8m AET).

Where to Watch Apple Unleashed

You can watch Apple's keynote on its events website using Safari on macOS, iOS, iPad, and Apple TV devices as well as on Windows machines. Those on Windows 10 and 11 can also watch the livestream using Edge. Additionally, those with Apple TV can watch the stream on their big TV from the comfort of the couch with the Apple TV app.

What to Expect

The Peek Performance event announcement came with an image of a multi-colored Apple logo as the only hint as to what will be announced on March 8. It's extremely likely these colors reflect all the different color options we'll have on the new iPhones and iPad Air models.

The current iPhone SE has been on the market since 2020, and its A13 Bionic processor is starting to show its age. We expect Apple will introduce a new model with an A15 Bionic chip and include 5G connectivity, but stick to the same dated 4.7-inch design that's been in place since the iPhone 6. That said, there have also been rumors it may instead feature a new larger 5.5-inch display or feature a design pulled from the iPhone XR.

The iPad Air similarly has lagged behind with its A14 processor, while the most affordable 10.2-inch iPad was updated with the latest silicon last fall. The new iPad Air should see a spec bump with the new A15 Bionic and also get a new 12MP front camera with Center Stage to help keep you framed correctly during video calls.

Mobile devices aside, we expect Apple will also update its desktop Macs – including the Mac Mini, iMac, and even possibly the Mac Pro, with M1 Pro and M1 Max processors.

The biggest surprise Apple could bring is a new M2 chip for the MacBook Air and a new entry-level MacBook Pro.

To this day, the original X-Men film is regarded as one of the better comic book adaptations around, even by some of its original authors. In fact, one line in particular from screenwriter David Hayter and actor Hugh Jackman had writer Chris Claremont screaming for joy during the theatrical premiere, according to a new oral history of Wolverine by Inverse.

While discussing reestablishing the character of Wolverine, Claremont said that he and artist Dave Cockrum decided to age up Wolverine to reflect a more weathered and world-weary persona. Around issue #98, Cockrum illustrated Wolverine's claws jutting out from his skin, as part of his body rather than a mechanical apparatus.

"I remember looking at it and going, “Oh my God, that’s disgusting,'” Claremont said. "The decision to make the claws come through his hand made him more human. Every time he uses his claws, he’s slashing his hand open — that hurts, he shouldn’t get used to that."

Cut to the year 2000, when Hugh Jackman officially took on the persona of Wolverine for theatrical audiences.

"It was epitomized onscreen in the first X-Men movie when Anna Paquin looks up at Hugh Jackman and asks, 'Does it hurt?'" Claremont said. "Then he takes this marvelous five or ten-second beat and says, 'Every time.' I remember jumping up at the premiere and saying 'Yes!' at the top of my lungs. Not only because it was my line from the comics, but it also epitomizes the character."

X-Men and X-2 screenwriter David Hayter told Inverse that he got the inspiration for the line straight from Claremont's own writing in the comics.

"It’s such a great line because it works on so many levels," Hayter said. "Not only does it hurt Logan when the claws come out, but other people get hurt as well."

Of course, the X-Men may "return" to the Marvel Cinematic Universe very soon, based on Sir Patrick Stewart's appearance in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer. We'll just have to wait and see if future incarnations of Wolvie stick to the same tone.

Longtime Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo had some kind words for She-Hulk actress Tatiana Maslany earlier this week, and seemed excited to pass the "Banner" to a new star.

"Tatiana Maslany is frickin' legendary as the She-Hulk," Ruffalo told Access Hollywood at a premiere event on Monday. "I'm passing the banner onto her. There's some really good, funny, cool, long, long scenes between the professor and her. We've never really seen the Hulk interact with people the way he does in that show. It'll be really interesting."

Maslany of course takes on the role of She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters, cousin of Bruce Banner, and the series is due out sometime in 2022. Bruce Banner/Ruffalo takes on a mentor role for Walters as she comes to terms with her newfound Hulk powers. Ruffalo's comments suggest that Bruce Banner will play a significant role in She-Hulk's rise to superhero stardom, rather than a mere cameo for the actor.

She-Hulk is just one of many Marvel properties coming down the pipe. We've got a new look at Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight, the limb-stretching Ms. Marvel, and even X-Men '97, a revival of the original X-Men cartoon series.

The Prime Video SXSW 2022 event line-up has been officially unveiled, and it includes a real-life 'VoughtLand' based on The Boys.

Prime Video will kick off SXSW this year with an experience that will allow fans to indulge in the world of Superheroes as The Boys Season 3 comes to life through a VoughtLand installation, where "guests can enter the VoughtLand castle to find Queen Maeve's Inclusive Kingdom" at 604 Driskill Street, Austin, Texas, from Friday, March 11 - Monday, March 14.

Attendees can also grab a bite to eat at the show's in-universe restaurant Vought A Burger, kick back at Homelander's Red, White, and Booze Bar, or take a ride on Starlight's Carousel of Dreams as part of the immersive fan experience — which also features a separate Superstars event at the same location themed to Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.

Additionally, Entertainment Weekly has reprised their partnership with Prime Video to co-host a party inside the SXSW Blue Room Studio at the Driskill Street venue on March 12. The event will celebrate the Superheroes and Superstars theme, giving a further spotlight to The Boys, with a guest list that features a mix of talent, influencers, and industry insiders.

Fans of The Boys may also want to make their way to the Austin Convention Center, Ballroom D, between the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, March 12, as Karl Urban, Laz Alonso, Karen Fukuhara, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Jensen Ackles, and executive producer Eric Kripke will be fronting a panel all about the Emmy award-nominated series.

Going under the title "The Boys are Back! Inside Prime Video's Hit Series," the star-studded panel will dive into the intersections of superhero and celebrity culture, the zeitgeist-shattering epic moments that redefined the genre, and offer up insights on how The Boys has navigated key moments of cultural inflection while subverting expectations.

Outside of The Boys, there will be hourlong Q&A panels with the cast and creators of Undone on March 12 (Ballroom EF, 2:30 p.m.), The Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks on March 15 (Room 16AB, 2:30 p.m.), as well as a fireside chat with Upload creator Greg Daniels on March 11 (Ballroom EF, 2:30 p.m.), and a keynote with Lizzo on March 13 (Ballroom D, 1:00 p.m.).

Prime Video's SXSW screening slate includes multiple showings of Emergency, Master, and the two-part documentary The Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks, plus a host of other parties and pop-ups that you might want to add to your schedule — if there's space alongside all of The Boys activities that are happening ahead of the show's highly anticipated third season.

The Boys Season 3 will premiere its first three episodes worldwide on Prime Video on June 3, 2022, with the remaining five episodes airing every Friday through July 8.
