Tom Hiddleston added to new Aardman film
Tom Hiddleston is set to voice a villain called Lord Nooth in the upcoming Aardman film Early Man, currently in production at Aztec West.
Hiddleston will join Eddie Redmayne (Dug) in the cast of the film, which is set to be released in January 2018.
Nick Park said of the casting: “Tom is a wonderful actor and it’s so thrilling to see him bring our comic villain to life with his amazing talent, energy and enthusiasm. It is a great privilege to work with Tom and I’m so excited to see his character Lord Nooth emerge on screen!”
Hiddleston added: “I have been a fan of Nick Park and Aardman for as long as I can remember, and am incredibly honoured to be working with Nick and the team on this adventure.
“I’m thrilled to be able to breathe some semblance of life into this hysterical villain and to work with Eddie for the first time. Early Man made me laugh out loud when I read it. Lord Nooth is larger than life in every respect. I can’t wait for audiences to meet him.”
