He’s busy promoting the latest Marvel film, Avengers: Infinity War, in which he plays the mischievous trickster Loki, and it seems Tom Hiddleston fans are worried about the character.

Many are theorising that Tom Hiddleston’s anti-hero, who first made an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2011’s Thor, will meet his end in the latest Avengers film, after Josh Brolin’s Thanos comes to Earth.

However, whatever happens in Avengers: Infinity War, Taylor Swift’s ex looks to be busy.

He’s already signed up to film the second season of the BBC series, The Night Manager, opposite Olivia Colman and Hugh Laurie, and will feature in the Infinity War sequel, Avengers 4 - although, who knows in what capacity.

Here is all you need to know about Tom Hiddleston, including his net worth, movies and roles such as Loki in Avengers.

Who is Tom Hiddleston?

Thomas William Hiddleston was born on February 9, 1981 in Westminster, London. His mother is an arts administrator and his father is a physical chemist.

Hiddleston attended the Dragon School, followed by Eton, Pembroke College, Cambridge, and RADA. After RADA, the actor was spotted by an LA casting agent at the Donmar Warehouse.

It was at Eton that Hiddleston discovered his passion for acting: ‘I did a production of Journey’s End, an RC Sherriff play about World War I, at the Edinburgh Festival. I was 18 and it was the first time that people I knew and loved and respected came up to me after the show and said, “You know, you could really do this if you wanted to,” ‘ he said back in 2012.

'Acting takes such a level of confidence and self-belief and as a teenager I didn’t have that much self-esteem. What teenager does? It was when they started saying I could do it that I really committed to it as a possibility.’

His first film role was Joanna Hogg’s debut feature, Unrelated and soon after leading roles in stage productions of The Changeling and Cymbeline followed. At the Donmar he featured as Cassio in Othello in the production that included Ewan McGregor and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

In 2011, Hiddleston broke into Hollywood with a bang, as the now much beloved anti-hero in Kenneth Branagh’s Marvel film, Thor. Branagh knew Hiddleston from his time on the TV series Wallander and from the stage production of Chekhov’s Ivanov.

‘Ken has had a life-changing effect. He was able to say to the executives, “Trust me on this, you can cast Tom and he will deliver.” It was massive and it’s completely changed the course of what is available to me to do. Ken gave me my break.’

After Thor, Hiddleston appeared in Woody Allen’s Midnight In Paris, playing the role of F. Scott Fitzgerald and starred in Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s novel, War Horse.

The following year, Hiddleston reprised his role as Loki in Joss Whedon’s The Avengers and in 2013 played the character again in the Thor sequel, Thor: The Dark World.

He then played a vampire in Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive. At the end of the year, Hiddleston starred in the Donmar production of Coriolanus.

In 2015, Hiddleston appeared in Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of High-Rise, a novel by JG Ballard and played the musician Hank Williams in I Saw the Light.

More recently, Hiddleston appeared in Kong: Skull Island, Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War. He also starred alongside Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman in the 2016 series, The Night Manager.

Outside of acting, Tom Hiddleston is perhaps most famous for his three-month relationship with Taylor Swift. The pair dated between June and September 2016 and were the subject of much interest, particularly after Hiddleston was seen wearing a small tank top that said ‘I love T.S’.

In an interview with GQ Magazine, the Thor actor explained the context behind the shirt: 'The truth is, it was the Fourth of July and a public holiday and we were playing a game and I slipped and hurt my back.

'And I wanted to protect the graze from the sun and said, 'Does anyone have a T-shirt?' And one of her friends said, 'I've got this.'' The friend pulled out the 'I heart T.S.' tank top that Taylor's squad all own.’

Hiddleston also dismisses people’s suspicions that the relationship was a publicity stunt, saying: 'Of course it was real.'

The pair broke up in September 2016, with some sources saying it was Swift's decision - after she grew uncomfortable with the increasing publicity - while Hiddleston's camp said that it was he who 'grew tired of her'.

What is Tom Hiddleston’s net worth?

Tom Hiddleston’s net worth is estimated to be $20 million (£14.3m), according to Celebrity Net Worth.

While most of his net worth is made up of salaries from films such as Thor, The Avengers and Kong: Skull Island, Hiddleston also earns money from endorsements.

In 2014, he starred in the Good to be Bad campaign for Jaguar cars, which aired during the 2014 Super Bowl.

Tom Hiddleston's net worth, while in no way insubstantial, doesn't come close to some other Avengers stars such as Robert Downey Jr. Hiddleston's wealth is also similar to that of co-star Zoe Saldana's but trumps fellow Avengers star Tom Holland.
