Paul Mescal, a longtime fan of Ridley Scott, now appears on the poster and in the trailer, preparing for battle in the director’s sequel «Gladiator II».
On Monday, the first poster hinting at a bloody battle was released. Today, the first trailer was released, showing a brutal fight between Mescal, 28, and Pascal, 49, playing Lucius and General Marcus Acacius respectively. So the question remains — Are you entertained?! Because we are.
Alongside Mescal, the film stars actors Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, and Connie Nielsen, reprising her role from the original. The film is a sequel by director Scott to his epic 2000 film «Gladiator», starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix, which won five Oscars, including Best Picture.
For the actor «Normal People», it is important to continue the legacy of Ridley Scott’s highly acclaimed film.
«It's a huge honor — I understand that», - he said. «This film means so much to so many people around the world. And for the great Ridley Scott to pass me the baton — that’s something my drama school self or even the 15-year-old version of me watching the film for the first time could never have imagined».
He then went on to discuss how the new film will incorporate elements from the previous one to satisfy fans' expectations.
«I think the main thing that excites me is how it pays homage to the first one, but also goes in a new direction», - he shared. «I think it’s well balanced in that respect — both in the physical action of the film and in the balance of the political aspects of the film».
Overall, «Gladiator II» is aimed to be another classic film, «We are excited to add the next installment to a film that has been and will continue to be incredibly popular», - he added.
«Gladiator II» is set to be released simultaneously with the first part of «Sinister» from Universal Pictures. Check out the poster and trailer below
