Tom Hiddleston is back in Pompeii — but this time as the star of a new National Geographic show, rather than in character as Loki.
Tom Hiddleston stars in a three-part docu-drama series called Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston, delving into the lives of potential survivors of the infamous volcanic eruption in Pompeii. The show blends historical findings with speculative scenarios, including a touch of Loki-inspired time-travel magic. Hiddleston's fascination with Pompeii dates back to his teenage years, leading to its incorporation into the Loki series.
The first episode challenges the belief that Pompeii's citizens had no warning of the disaster, while subsequent chapters explore themes like a potential naval rescue and the struggles faced by survivors. The project was influenced by the success of National Geographic series produced by Hiddleston's Marvel co-star, Chris Hemsworth, known for his extreme stunts in Limitless and personal journey in A Road Trip to Remember.
National Geographic's Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. Meanwhile, Loki will make a return in Avengers: Doomsday, hitting theaters later this year.
