Gladiator 2: Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal get sweaty in bloody action-packed trailer
Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal get sweaty and bloody in the new trailer for Gladiator 2. On 22 November, movie enthusiasts will finally be treated to the sequel to Ridley Scott’s critically acclaimed 2000 film, which starred Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix.
Set over two decades after the events of the first Gladiator, the epic action feature follows Lucius Verus (Mescal), the son of Maximus (Crowe), and Lucilla (Connie Nielsen), who’s forced to follow in his father’s footsteps of Collessum fighting.
The official synopsis for the film reads: “Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist.
With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honour to return the glory of Rome to its people.” With the premiere date for Gladiator 2 only two months away, Paramount Pictures treated fans to a jaw-dropping new trailer featuring Mescal and Pescal in all their sweaty and handsome glory.
