On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Anthony are joined by Paul Mescal (All of Us Strangers, Aftersun) to discuss his starring role as Lucius Verus in Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR II. The film is a sequel to Gladiator (2000) starring Russell Crowe and continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome. Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus (Crowe) at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) 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 honor to return the glory of Rome to its people. Gladiator II releases exclusively in theatres on November 22, 2024 by Paramount Pictures.
