The DVD for “Thor: The Dark World,” the second installment in the franchise, comes out in February and will include a never before seen scene in which Loki is actually wearing Captain America’s suit. You will find it in full below.

The story goes, as the second video can confirm, that the script mentioned that Chris Evans would be appearing in the scene, in his Captain America suit. However, because he was working on another movie, he couldn’t come to shoot the scene with Chris Hemsworth / Thor.

So, they used a body double, which turned out to be Tom Hiddleston / Loki because he volunteered. All he had to do was walk with Chris and feed him lines, and the good Captain would be added in in post-production. Still, Tom insisted that he should wear the suit.

The scene was included as an extra on the DVD release and, if you’re a fan of the Avengers, you have to admit that it’s a lot of fun to watch because it’s not that often that you get to see characters in one another’s suits, let alone evil god Loki in the Captain’s tights and shield.

Now for the videos. Enjoy!
