Paul Mescal, one of the hottest names of the young acting generation, got the main role in the second part of “”. Until now, the details of the production had been kept secret, but finally, after the filming was moved from Morocco and Malta to the UK, the first unofficial stills from the set were released online.
“Gladiator 2”. Paul Mescal in armor as Lucius Verus
Ridley Scott returns to direct “Gladiator 2” after many years. The film will be a sequel to the 2000 hit and will take us about 15 years forward after the death of Commodus and Maximus. The main character will be Lucius Verus, Commodus’ cousin. So far, little information from the filming set has leaked to the media. It was known that the teams were already working in Malta, where a large set was created – the same place Scott used for the first “Gladiator”. Now photos from Great Britain, where the team with Paul Mescal and his Roman unit work, have hit the Internet. Finally, we can also see the actor in makeup:
Ridley Scott has never hidden that he dreams of making a second “Gladiator”. He talked about it in 2001 and in subsequent years, he reminded us about the project from time to time. There was even a moment when Russell Crowe himself was supposed to appear on the set, and plans were leaked to the Internet on how to solve the problem of Maximus’ death and his later appearance in the second part of the film. After 2006, Scott put “Gladiator” on the shelf and only returned to it in 2018.
Today, work on the film is already significantly delayed. They coincided with screenwriters’ strikes and, according to optimistic assumptions, the production is scheduled to hit cinemas in November this year. However, the photos from Great Britain are supposed to be quite fresh, which means that the film crew still faces a difficult post-production process and possible overtime.
