In an incredible journey, starting with 2011’s Loki, to reprise the role in over four Marvel films, Hiddleston’s paychecks have continued to grow. ForChris Hemsworth‘sThor(2011), Hiddleston reportedly received $160,000. For 2012’sThe Avengers, the God of Mischief scored a $800,000 cheque.
In 2018’sAvengers: Infinity War, Tom Hiddleston hit the seven-figure territory, earning a whopping $8 million, an incredible 50 times what he earned for his first appearance as Loki, known for creating, duplicating, and faking his death. He received a similar paycheck (if not more) for his“time-variant” in Avengers: Endgame(2019).
TheKong: Skull Islandstar, who has now become a new internet faction’s top choice for the iconic 007 role in the $14.8 billion franchise race, also starred in and executive-produced the AMC limited seriesThe Night Manager, reportedly playing in seven figures.

Tom Hiddleston’s Insane Paycheck ForLoki(2021)
InAvengers: Endgame(2019), when the superheroes travel back in time to gather the infinity stones after Thanos had destroyed them, a“time-variant”of Loki escapes into the plot of the God of Mischief’s standalone Disney+ series,Loki(2021), a move which benefited the actor both, financially and professionally.
During his time on the Disney+ series, Tom Hiddleston’s net worth was reported to be a whopping $25 million, which makes it fair to suggest that his mischievous paychecks witnessed an 80x hike. But again, for Hiddleston, Loki’s character is much more than money. In an interview, he expressed:
“Rather than ownership, it’s a sense of responsibility I feel to give my best every time and do the best I can because I feel so grateful to be a part of what Marvel Studios has created.
I just want to make sure I’ve honored that responsibility with the best that I can give and the most care and thought and energy.”
While his exact salary from Loki remains unknown, one thing is sure, the actor is dedicated to“exploring the parts of Loki that are independent of his relationship with Thor,”since his disappearance fromThor: Love and Thunder(2022).
Loki (2021)is streaming on Disney+.
