On the Empire Podcast this week, he has an army, he doesn't like hulks, and he's officially

the second sexiest man in the world right now. Yes, Tom Hiddleston is here. We also have

Marvel Mastermind Kevin Feige and Thor the Dark World Director Alan Taylor here to tell us all

about Norse Gods, and that film critic among film critics mark her mode to talk about his new book.

around the countryside with an ex. Okay, good times. This is, I'm suddenly feeling a little bit
