1. Loki
The Loki character in Thor is undoubtedly Tom Hiddleston’s best acting effort. Like Loki, the god of mischief in the Marvel universe became a household name.
Loki Laufeyson, also recognized as Loki Odinson and the God of Mischief, is a mythical figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media property, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name.
Following the original Loki’s death in Avengers: Infinity War (2018), a variant of him from an alternate timeline is introduced in Avengers: Endgame (2019), diverging from the events of The Avengers (2012) and starring in the television series Loki (2021) alongside Sylvie, a female variant of him with whom he works in the series.

2. Crimson Peak
How many people are aware of his involvement in the 2015 film “Crimson Peak”? Guillermo del Toro, the award-winning filmmaker, leads a fantastic cast in this genre-bending film.
His performance in Crimson Peak, where he co-stars, is ranked second on our list.
Tom Hiddleston’s complex performance was enhanced by del Toro’s brilliant script and direction. All of the principal performers were given lengthy backstories and secrets to keep hidden from one another by the director (via EW).
According to Hiddleston’s interview with VPRO Cinema, allowing the characters to hide secrets from each other and the audience “keeps the work enigmatic” and gives them an “inner life.” Thomas is an intriguing romantic lead because he implies a profound inner existence.
Even when he appears to be the unambiguous villain, he runs from a terrible background, which intrigues the spectator.

3. The Night Manager
We had a tough time deciding between each of his acts while doing this ranking. But his role in The Night Manager is in 3rd place on our list.
Hiddleston plays Jonathan Pine, a veteran working as the late-night host at a luxury resort in Egypt who is recruited into an undercover operation by British Intelligence in the six-part John le Carre adaptation from writer David Farr and director Susanne Bier.
Hiddleston’s portrayal of an ordinary man seemed unique at the moment. Still, throughout the six-hour series, he gave his most emotionally grounded and subdued performance to date.

4. Kong: Skull Island
After taking a break from the screens for a while, Tom Hiddleston appeared before us with his role in Kong: Skull Island.
He was involved in the development of his character, his reaction the first time he saw King Kong as a child, his love of adventure films, the experience of filming in Vietnam, the real scary creatures they encountered, and the film’s political edge.

5. High Rise (film)
As the protagonist character, Tom Hiddleston offers a well-balanced portrayal; sarcastic and self-assured, he is a young physician named Laing, presumably about RD Laing, the anti-psychiatry group’s magus.
He gets one of the bachelor flats on the top of a massive new apartment tower in an out-of-town development of five new buildings as a well-off single man. Poorer residents dwell in cheaper apartments on the floors beneath Laing’s tower; the lower orders feel disproportionately aggrieved when the lights go out, and the rubbish chute gets clogged.

6. Only Lovers Left Alive
Hiddleston is in Toronto for the Toronto International Film Festival to promote Jim Jarmusch’s film “Only Lovers Left Alive.” In the movie, Hiddleston portrays Adam, a melancholy vampire who spends most of his time loafing about Detroit and being snobbish about music (Adam is a Jack White fan, though). This isn’t a vampire film that will appeal to lovers of other vampire series; it’s a vampire film that will appeal to fans of Hiddleston.

Tom Hiddleston, who stands out with his successful acting in all the movies you see on the list, cannot help but fascinate the audience in all the roles he plays.
