How Tall Is Loki, the God of Mischief?

When it comes to Asgard’s most cunning prince, Loki, one question often comes up: just how tall is he? The answer depends on where you look—on screen or on the page.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Loki is brought to life by British actor Tom Hiddleston, who stands at an impressive 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m). With his lean frame, sharp features, and commanding presence, Hiddleston’s portrayal captures the god of mischief’s charisma and arrogance perfectly. His height adds to the regal aura, especially when standing beside other Avengers like Chris Hemsworth’s Thor.

But in the original Marvel comics, Loki is actually a bit taller—measuring in at 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m). This slight increase may seem minor, but in the world of superhero comics, every inch contributes to a character’s mythic stature. Of course, comic book versions of gods aren’t bound by real-world physics, and Loki’s height often varies slightly depending on the artist and era.

It’s also worth noting that in Norse mythology—the inspiration behind Marvel’s version—Loki isn’t described in precise physical terms. There’s no ancient text stating his height. Marvel’s interpretation borrows loosely from legend, amplifying the character into a towering, otherworldly figure befitting a god.

Whether you’re watching him deliver a cutting monologue in Thor: Ragnarok or sneaking through the panels of a 1960s comic, Loki’s height—like his personality—looms large. In the end, it’s not just about inches, but the impact he leaves. And on that front, Loki towers over most.
