Every once in a while, we get presented with amazing stories of geekery that must be told. During your daily travels around the Internet, you may have seen the picture on the right. With all of the attention that
The Avengers movie is receiving, seeing a picture of a young boy wielding a Captain America toy shield on the shoulders of Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, is a very cool thing.
The image has reached a viral level of popularity, with people all over the country sharing it on Twitter, Facebook, and every other form of social media imaginable. While the Internet loved the picture, a very simple question started to arise: “Who is the kid on Loki’s shoulders?”
Some had speculated that it was the son of Mark Ruffalo, who portrayed Bruce Banner (aka The Hulk) in the film. Others thought it might be the son of one of the crew members who worked on the film. Conspiracy theories started to form, with some believing that Loki might have gone back in time and captured Captain America as a child.
The truth of it all? The boy on Loki’s shoulders is none other than Edison, son of our good friend Erin, who directs
the web series, CASTERS. The story of how Edison got his picture taken with Tom Hiddleston is a great case of “right place, right time” that Erin was kind enough to write about for us.
