Tom looked sharp in a blue pinstriped suit as he attended the premiere with his producing partner Kevin R. Wright and showrunner/director Tom Barbor-Might.

The project blends documentary storytelling with scripted dramatic sequences as Tom explores the final hours before Mount Vesuvius devastated Pompeii in A.D. 79. Guided by archaeologists, historians, geologists, and disaster experts, the series examines new evidence that challenges long-standing assumptions about the catastrophe, including findings suggesting that many people may have had an opportunity to escape.

Throughout the series, Loki star follows the stories of several real Romans whose lives were forever changed as the disaster unfolded.

“The ancient world has compelled my imagination and curiosity for as long as I can remember: I’ve been fascinated by it all my life,” Tom said in a statement.

“Classical Antiquity is the foundation and cornerstone of Western and European culture. To visit Pompeii is to feel the distance of the 2,000 years between now and then compress. The past becomes the present; the past feels so close. Tangible, honest and real. Our relationship with the past is alive — studying who we were in order to understand who we are. Pompeii is a gateway for that conversation. It’s a privilege to host this visually immersive and dynamic series.”

Reflecting on the experience, he added, “Pompeii is often remembered for how its story ended. But by looking closer, we can uncover the details of people’s lives, the choices they made, and the moments that came before the city was buried. To revisit the final hours of those ordinary people, caught in an extraordinary moment, and to help bring these remarkable human stories back into the light, is a genuine honor.”
