Paul Mescal screaming as Lucius in Gladiator 2
Paul Mescal explains how his Gladiator II character differs from the first film's protagonist. Mescal plays Lucius in the upcoming historical epic. Lucius is the son of Maximus, the main character of the 2000 film Gladiator, who died at the end of the first movie. In addition to Mescal, Gladiator II features a leading cast including Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, Denzel Washington, Derek Jacobi, Joseph Quinn, Rory McCann, and Fred Hechinger. The movie is set for release on November 22.
"But what I tried to do was figure out exactly who Lucius was and where those differences lay between Lucius and Maximus. Maximus, to me, is looking to restore honor in Rome throughout the first film. And I think Lucius starts this film from the point of wanting to totally dismantle it. And if he could burn it all down, he would. But he gets to the point where he's trying to restore honor, so there's a massive 180 pivot that you have to make throughout it.
