Prepare to be entertained. Your first look at ‘Gladiator II,’ starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, and more, has arrived.
From director Ridley Scott, the sequel to the 2000 film picks up in the years after Russell Crowe’s Maximus gave his life upending the leadership of the Roman Empire. Mescal plays Lucius, last seen as the young son of Lucilla, Nielsen’s noblewoman from the original movie.
Scott decided to pursue the Oscar-nominee for ‘Gladiator II’ after watching his performance in ‘Normal People.’ “Watching a TV show that’s not really my kind of TV show almost four years ago I said, ‘Who’s this guy?’”
Get an extended first look at the highly-anticipated film—including more must-see images—at the link in bio.
