Filming for the much-anticipated Gladiator sequel has been reportedly pushed back because its rumoured star Paul Mescal is reprising his acclaimed theatre role.
Paul, 26, who has just been nominated for an Oscar for his role in Aftersun, will return as Stanley Kowalski in Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire, which is transferring to London's West End.
The much praised production originally played at The Almeida Theatre in the capital, but will move to Pheonix Theatre for six weeks from March 20, with Patsy Ferran also returning as Blanche DuBois in Rebecca Frecknall's revival.
