Wow! Loki Could Have Had a Completely Different Look in The MCU!
Here's an early piece of concept art of Loki that has surfaced from Marvel's former Head of Visual Development Charlie Wen. This art was done for the very first Thor movie and as you can see, Loki could have had a crazy drastic different look! This would have been a very crazy and weird direction to go for the character. The artist says that he wanted to share the looniest version of the character that he came up with.
"Wacky Loki! My first sketch of him as someone a bit off for the first #thor There were other options but this is the looniest one so I wanted to share. As I think of his backstory and focused on the manipulative bent than his relationship with his bro Thor which develops later, I put more character depth in his final version. At this time I also wanted to play with the idea that Asgard had magic based on science beyond human tech understanding. I’ll post the final Thor I Lokis next!"
In this image, the God of Mischief is like a half cyborg, and he definitely looks a bit off. I love the look of the character that they ultimately used in the Marvel films, but this one would have certainly been interesting!
