What did you say about the new tape “Gladiator 2”?

What is the moment that makes Pedro Pascal humble? The actor revealed the situation in which he felt “completely humiliated”

“I can’t go into it! I can’t describe how stressed I am when I talk about that movie, because it’s definitely the most important thing I’ve ever done. I’m very excited, but it’s hard to step away from the film’s legacy. I think it’s very well written and it pays homage to the first one, but it’s something that I think I can comfortably jump in and make my own.”
