‘Gladiator II,’ which stars Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal, is set to hit theaters on November 22
'Rage is your gift,' Denzel Washington tells Paul Mescal in the movie's trailer, which was released by Paramount on Tuesday, July 9. The Irish star totally transformed — abs and all — to go up against Pedro Pascal in the sequel to the 2000 historical epic.
It's clear that the movie will feature many a montage of Washington training Mescal as his muse to take on Pascal in the Colosseum. While the final battle is only teased, it seems things will get bloody as the protagonists go head to head. There is also a callback to the original Gladiator when Connie Nielsen as Lucilla gives Mescal the late Maximus' ring.
“They should be fucking paying me for the amount of questions I am asked about a film I am not even in,” Crowe joked at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival earlier this year. “It has nothing to do with me. In that world, I am dead. Six feet under. But I do admit to a certain tinge of jealousy, because it reminds me of when I was younger and what it meant for me, in my life.”
“When I watch anything, I tend to be clocking who’s interesting,” he told the outlet at the time. “It’s just in my DNA. And so, watching a TV show that’s not really my kind of TV show almost four years ago, I said, ‘Who’s this guy?’”
