The Family Business
In a recent interview with EW, Ashton revealed that before joining the MCU, she got some advice from her fiance Tom Hiddleston.
Hiddleston, who has portrayed Loki in the MCU since 2011 set to reprise his role in the upcoming second season of Loki. Needless to say, he knows a thing or two about playing a Marvel villain.

“It led to some incredible conversations about his experience being part of this franchise for over a decade,” Ashton told EW. “One of the main takeaways from our conversations was: ‘What you put into Marvel, you get back.’ He said, ‘If you go into this with an open heart and a great work ethic and just want to provide an amazing experience for the fans, you’ll have an amazing experience on those sets.’ He really empowered me in that way.”
While Ashton and Hiddleston normally try to keep their personal and work lives separate, the actress revealed that one day, Hiddleston even helped her rehearse for a Marvels scene.

When they were done, the couple looked under their kitchen table to see their confused dog. He was wondering why the Marvel villains were loudly running lines.
“Practical” Advice
Perhaps the best advice Hiddleston gave Ahton however was more practical than anything else.
“He also had some very good practical advice. Which was: Make sure you have enough zippers to go to the bathroom in your costume. Which is very good advice, I realize now.”
The Marvels will hit theaters on November 10.
