Kate Dickie has joined the cast of the Disney+ television show Loki, which follows the adventures of the titular character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She will play a villain for the second series, starring alongside Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson and Sophia Di Martino.
Depending on the nature of the role, Dickie may graduate to Marvel's Phase Five roster of cinematic releases, adding to her recent film credits that include The Northman and Shepherd.
She was a relative late-comer to film acting - her breakthrough role in the 2006 psychological thriller Red Road, set in Balornock, came when she was 35 years old with stage work and television credits to her name. It remains one of the most important portrayals of Glasgow committed to screen.
