'Gladiator II' Cast Talk About Their Characters In The Film

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING “Gladiator,” the 2000 epic drama directed by Ridley Scott and starring Oscar winner Russell Crowe, has stood the test of time, captivating audiences for over two decades with its visceral storytelling and sweeping visual grandeur. Fans of the original will recognize the same high-stakes drama and gritty authenticity, but this time with a mostly new cast: Paul Mescal stars as Lucius, who is taken as a prisoner of the Roman army and made a gladiator, alongside Denzel Washington, who portrays Macrinus, a villainous arms dealer who hopes to one day control Rome. Connie Nielsen returns as Lucilla, Maximus’ former lover, and Pedro Pascal portrays Roman general Marcus Acacius, who like Crowe’s character in the 2000 film, would like to see a new vision forward for Rome. I think I reserve any judgment for any of those men or women or people who would have been gladiators at that time, because I think ultimately it’s an exercise in getting to the next day, which I don’t think we’re familiar with as human beings living in first-world countries today. Connie Nielsen: I was very focused on making sure that no one would feel like we were disturbing the legacy of the first film and that, in fact, we were building something that would stand equally tall with the first one as a companion piece rather than as, you know, something that was diminishing it.
