Joss Whedon explains why there’s no Loki in Avengers: Age Of Ultron

Although at times it feels like Avengers: Age Of Ultron includes every character who has ever appeared in a Marvel film (and even one who already starred in an entirely different superhero franchise), it turns out writer/director Joss Whedon did leave at least one big player on the cutting room floor: Tom Hiddleston’s Loki doesn’t pop up anywhere in Ultron, despite the fact that Idris Elba got in some hot water for spoiling a Loki cameo last fall.
MTV spoke to Whedon, who confirmed that Hiddleston did shoot some scenes for the film—they just didn’t make the final cut. Whedon jokes, “Idris misspoke… twice.”
