From the Upside Down to ancient Rome, Stranger Things season 4 breakout Joseph Quinn has found his next role, the expected blockbuster sequel Gladiator 2. But that's not all, Connie Nielsen, who played Lucilla in the original Gladiator, has also joined the movie, per Deadline.
Gladiator 2 (though Deadline notes that may not be the official name of the movie, referring to it as "the untitled pic for Paramount") is the long-awaited sequel for the Best Picture-winning Gladiator from Ridley Scott that starred Russell Crowe as a former general turned into a gladiator as he sought vengeance against the Emperor Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix). Neither Crowe or Phoenix are returning for the sequel (spoiler alert to a 20-year-old movie, both their characters died), but Scott is back to direct and is amassing an impressive new cast for the follow-up story.
