Gladiator 2’s emperor actor teases the "wild" sequel and how his character is surprisingly inspired by punk star Sid Vicious

Gladiator 2 .

With everything from sharks in the Colosseum to rhino fights appearing in the first trailer for Gladiator 2, the sequel has already set itself up as an epic follow-up. Now, one of its stars tells GamesRadar+ that we haven’t seen anything yet with the "wild" Ridley Scott movie.

The White Lotus actor Fred Hechinger, who plays co-emperor Caracalla opposite Joseph Quinn’s Geta in the sequel, is in the trailer sporting a unique look. With bright red hair and pale make-up, he looks a far cry from Joaquin Phoenix’s Commodus, as the actor opens up about some unusual inspiration.
