Tom Hiddleston is set to bring his acting chops to White Stork, a limited series coming to Netflix.
Hiddleston is easily recognizable as the actor who brought the Norse trickster Loki to life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His pitch-perfect portrayal of one of the most charming and unpredictable villains in the superhero genre was critically acclaimed and his character arc in the Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War cemented his place in the hearts of fans forever.
The slim thespian will continue the adventures of Loki in the upcoming Disney+ series of the same name and it is set to be released sometime in 2021.
Described as a political thriller, White Stork will see Hiddleston play a politician by the name of James Cooper, an individual whose career in the parliament is threatened by a vetting process that leaks a series of unpleasant secrets about his past.
The series is created and written by Chris Dunlop and Kristoffer Nyholm will direct the 10-episode project which was originally in development at AMC with the title Spearhead.
White Stork will be the first project that Hiddleston has embarked upon since 2017’s Kong: Skull Island that isn’t a work of animation or connected to the MCU.
No release date has been revealed yet but from all indications, the series could arrive next year. It is being produced by Eleven.
Hiddleston’s casting is a wonderful choice and will draw a lot of fans to the series when it arrives. His talent as an actor is undisputed and his screen charisma is just about right for something of this nature.
