Tom Hiddleston has 'always been aware' of Loki's queer identity. 'I see it as my responsibility,' he tells V.F., 'that I honor the aspects of the character which are there in the canon.'
There's a temptation to slide Mobius into an almost paternal role. He's capable of giving Loki the approval Loki was dying to receive from his father, Odin. There's a moment in the premiere where Loki insists he's very smart, and Mobius genially agrees: "I know you are." Hiddleston says that moment is “destabilizing” for Loki, who “finds himself in the presence of someone who is confronting him with who he is, who he might be, seemingly without judgment.
But as Hiddleston goes on to describe the dynamic between Loki and Mobius, it becomes clear that he sees the characters as mirrors of one another. “There's some similarity there,” he says. “Just a part of who he is mirrored by Loki's playfulness and an independence of spirit. There's a kinship there, which is interesting because they're not aware of it themselves — at least initially.
