Waiting for more Loki? Watch these Tom Hiddleston movies

Watch Tom Hiddleston in: Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)

Loki isn’t the only role that Hiddleston has donned long, black hair for. In Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, he plays a vampire scientist and musician who has been alive for hundreds of years.

Hiddleston stars opposite Tilda Swinton, who plays the Ancient One in Doctor Strange. The film also features Mia Wasikowska, Anton Yelchin, and John Hurt. It was nominated for the prestigious Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Perhaps the least traditional of all the films that Hiddleston has been in, Only Lovers Left Alive is as much an exploration of an outlook on the modern world as it is a story about a married pair of vampires reuniting.

Adam lives in Detroit, keeping mostly to himself and getting his blood supply from a local blood bank. He and Eve (Swinton) are both concerned about the effects of the twenty-first century on mortals’ blood and what it might do to them.

Adam is depressed and worried about the state of the world, lending to a similarly morose performance as Hiddleston gives in Thor: The Dark World, but with more depth. Only Lovers Left Alive is certainly one of the most unique vampire stories set to screen.
