Tom Hiddleston -- he's better known as Loki, aka Thor's brother, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But instead of trying to pick up his brother's hammer, Hiddleston picked up a new profession at the Fox affiliate in Chicago on Thursday.

"There is this huge storm front coming in," Hiddleston said. "And all that means is that Chris Hemsworth has taken his hammer and smashed it into the surface of the sky, and it's going to rain a hell of a lot."

Hiddleston hit viewers with the forecast while in town to promote his new Hank Williams biopic "I Saw The Light."
