Ridley Scott & Paul Mescal Discuss Gladiator 2 and Putting Sharks in the Colosseum

Over 20 years after Ridley Scott's epic Oscar-winning drama Gladiator, the director is taking audiences back to the blood and sand with the highly anticipated sequel, Gladiator II. Once again, Ridley's Ancient Rome is teeming with talent, with (rapidly) rising star Paul Mescal headlining as the follow-up's titular protagonist. In the film, Mescal plays Lucius, a man not at all unlike Russell Crowe's Maximus in the 2000 film, whose life is upended when he's forced into slavery by the Roman army led by General Marcus Aracius (Pedro Pascal). Seeking vengeance and determined to fight for the honor and salvation of a crumbling Rome, Lucius embodies the fighting spirit of Maximus in the Colosseum to ignite a revolution. Gladiator II also stars Connie Nielsen, who reprises her role as Lucilla, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, and Fred Hechinger. During this interview, Collider's Steve Weintraub sits down with legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott and the film's lead, Mescal, to discuss tough scenes, extended cuts, and more. The legacy of Scott's first feature brought the violence and pageantry of the Colosseum to life, but from the trailer alone, we see he's upping the stakes with rhinos, two sniveling emperors, and filling the arena with shark-infested waters. Check out the full conversation below for Scott's hot take on that feat, as well as his thoughts on a Gladiator II director's cut and another legendary director, Stanley Kubrick. #gladiator2 #RidleyScott #PaulMescal For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
