This has been a big year for you with Midnight In Paris and Thor. Who'd win in a fight - Loki or Ernest Hemingway?

How was it to work with Benedict Cumberbatch in War Horse? And doesn't he have the best name in history?

It was amazing to work with Ben. He’s become a very dear friend of mine and I feel very proud of him from the far, or close distance of being a contemporary of his. He’s having such an incredible moment. I think he’s phenomenally talented. He’s one of the finest actors of our generation and it was a real privilege to work with him.I think Englebert Humperdink has a sillier name than Benedict Cumberbatch.

If you could only watch the same three films for the rest of your life, which movies would you choose and why?

Braveheart because it keeps my spirits up. It’s my dad’s favourite film. There’s something in it that’s really rousing. It’s a really fantastic film.

City Slickers because I just love it. It’s not because it’s an amazing fantastically brilliant film, I just really love it.

In the comics Loki briefly turned into a woman. If this were to be introduced in The Avengers or Thor 2, would you be comfortable relinquishing Loki to another person, or would you insist on playing the part in drag?

I've recently named my cat after your character in Thor/The Avengers. Besides this, what is the proudest moment of your career?

Incredible! I’ve had so many amazing moments. I think it was the end of the day that we shot the scene in the middle of Thor between Odin and Loki in the vault when he finds out the truth of his origins. At the end of that day Ken [Branagh] came up to me and said, ‘You were brilliant today and I’m very proud of you’ and then on the way past, Tony Hopkins tapped Ken on the shoulder and said, ‘He’s alright, isn’t he, this kid, he’s alright’.

I LOVED Midnight In Paris. What was it like to be working with Woody Allen and how familiar where you with your character Fitzgerald?

I knew his writing. I’d read The Great Gatsby and Tender Is The Night. I had to read a lot more. I read his short stories and his letters. His letters are beautiful, his letters to Zelda. They loved each other so deeply but they were so destructive – mutually destructive. They consumed each other. And Woody was extraordinary. He exceeded my expectations of being a twinkling, remote, slightly neurotic bespectacled man. Woody Allen is a living icon and he totally lives up to the Silhouette.
