I’ve been documenting this for months (since 28.09.2025). Here’s a quick breakdown of how Amazon.de has mishandled Tom Hiddleston’s metadata for over a decade!

is.gd/AmazonDEMetadata

For over 12 years, Tom Hiddleston has been consistently misspelled as "Tom Hiddlestone" (with an added "e") in the metadata of numerous film listings on Amazon Germany (Amazon.de). @ Instagram +1 Key Details of the Metadata Failure • Scope: This systemic error affects multiple DVD and Blu-ray titles, including major Marvel Cinematic Universe films like Thor and Avengers. • Documentation: Independent observers and fans have documented the issue for over 100 days, noting that it also affects other cast members like Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson. • Outreach: Despite repeated attempts to contact Amazon Germany, Disney Germany, and various actor unions (SAG-AFTRA, Equity UK), the metadata remains uncorrected as of early 2026. • Impact: The misspelling makes it difficult for customers to find the actor's full filmography using standard search terms and is frequently cited as a lack of professional courtesy toward the artists.

Well, look at this: on day 130, I found even more items on AmazonDE.
For anyone out there still thinking this is just a typo....think again.

Day 112 -

/#AmazonUK/#amazonca are still pretending that 's surname is spelled on 20 movies, he has worked on, dating back 12 years. This is NOT a one of typo! This is a worldwide error, most likely originating from . This needs to be fixed now!

When is credited as Robert Evans, and Amazon’s metadata sends users from : Age of Ultron to… Russ Meyer’s Vixen.

This is what happens when nobody checks the data.

Did you know, that the Jedi were secretly working in 's metadata division? And did you know, that the Emperor was a huge fan? And when he found out about all the misspellings on AmazonDE, he issued to correct all those errors? 😏

When starts calling out ’s typos…
you know the multiverse is tired of waiting. ⌛️

90+ days. Still unresolved. Their silence speaks more than words.

As of late 2025, it has been documented that Amazon DE (Germany) misspelled Tom Hiddleston's name as "Hiddlestone" (with an extra 'e') across multiple product listings. ® The misspelling has reportedly persisted for months, affecting various titles and high-value items, including: • Marvel's Loki: Even high-priced items like the Limited Edition Steelbook (priced around 60€) featured the typo. • The Night Manager: Reports indicate the actor's name was misspelled on listings for this series, with some estimates suggesting the error may have existed for nearly a decade. • Kong: Skull Island: This title was also listed among those with the "Hiddlestone" typo. The issue is part of a broader metadata failure on the platform that has also affected other major stars like Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson, who have been credited with various bizarre errors. Despite public call-outs to the distributor (LEONINE), agents (CAA), and Amazon itself, the correction process for these listings has been described by observers as slow or non-existent.

Day 58

reported back - the typo originated directly from their supplier, which even they were surprised to discover.
They’ve now cleaned up their entire catalogue, and Tom is finally listed correctly as across all products

Thalia can fix their entire catalogue in under 48 hours, why is AmazonDE - after 58 days - still doing nothing?

This whole System is rotten:

Amazon thought distributors checked
Distributors thought retailers checked
Retailers thought agencies checked
Agencies thought studios checked
Studios thought Amazon checked

So nobody checked anything = this typo is 14 years old!

Day 54

Here is a compiled list of all titles I’ve found so far where actors are wrongly credited on .
This isn’t a single typo - it’s a system-wide failure in their metadata QA.
The eleven separate misspellings of ‘Hiddlestone’ alone make that painfully clear
