Tom Hiddleston recently teamed up with Sesame Street to teach Cookie Monster about the virtue of patience - something Marvel fans are all too familiar with.

The Avengers actor dropped his Loki persona as he settled down to eat a nice chocolate chip cookie. However, Cookie Monster got a whiff of baked goodness and charged onto the scene looking for a quick snack.

Hiddleston and his delightful British accent took a moment to explain the idea of Delayed Gratification to the hungry little monster, informing him that if he would just wait, perhaps he would get a treat even better than just one little cookie.

While writer/director Joss Whedon has already informed Marvalites that Hiddleston's Norse trickster is not slated to appear in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, there have been rumors regarding Loki's return in a Phase Three film.

"We think Loki could be the big bad for us, for a long time," said Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios' president of production, according to Empire.

However, a resurgence by the Asgardian denizen is dependent on the outcome of the upcoming Thor sequel, The Dark World. Due out in November, the Phase Two feature will see an imprisoned Loki team up with the God of Thunder, despite the Trickster's malicious tendencies.
