Tom Hiddleston Could End Up Playing THE CROW

Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston, is early talks to play Eric Draven in Relativity Media's upcoming reimagining of James O'Barr's gothic comic character, The Crow.

It's hard for me to imagine Hiddleston in this role, but apparently the actor has been pushing hard for the part. He even did his own makeup test and has had dinner with the producers to try and sell them on the idea. According to The Wrap, "he will undergo a proper makeup test in the coming days, as the character's appearance is important to fans of the franchise." I'd love to see what those makeup tests look like!

The new version of the film is set to be directed by Spanish filmmaker F. Javier Guttierez from a script by Cliff Dorfman (Warrior). They all hope to start production in the fall and are just waiting for the final makeup test before they make a final decision.  

There's no doubt that Hiddleston is a talented actor, I love what he's done as Loki in the Marvel films. Even though I can't really imagine what he would be like as The Crow, I'm sure he'd end up being great in the role. What do you think of the idea of Hiddleston playing The Crow?
