Russell Crowe has shared his thoughts on the upcoming Paul Mescal-led Gladiator 2, and he’s not super convinced. The star played Maximus in Ridley Scott’s 2000 epic, but his character was killed at the end of the movie by Joaquin Phoenix’s Commodus.
In the upcoming sequel, Mescal plays Commodus’ nephew, Lucius Verus. Few details beyond that have been confirmed, but Scott has previously said his character has been "living in the wilderness" and is estranged from his mother.
