Gladiator star responds to Paul Mescal recasting
As a gamer who has been around for quite some time now, I remember vividly watching the epic saga that was Gladiator back in 2000. Spencer Treat Clark, playing Lucius Verus, left an indelible mark on my gaming heart with his portrayal of the young prince turned gladiator. So, when I heard that Paul Mescal would be taking over the role for the upcoming sequel, a pang of nostalgia and a dash of curiosity washed over me.
Actor Spencer Treat Clark, who played a character in the movie Gladiator, has shared insights on Paul Mescal stepping into his shoes for the upcoming sequel.
In the year 2000, the actor took on the role of Lucius Verus, who was the son of Maximus (portrayed by Russell Crowe) and Lucilla (Connie Nielsen), in the original film. Fast forward to present day, as an adult, Lucius is now the main character in the sequel, with actor Mescal from “Normal People” and “All of Us Strangers” stepping into his shoes.
In conversation with people, Clark expresses his approval of the changes. He shared with the media outlet, “The film appears fantastic, and Paul will undoubtedly excel. I’ve even heard wonderful things about the movie.
He mentioned that sometimes the public tends to overlook the fact that he produced the initial movie a quarter-century back, expressing: “It feels like it was 25 years ago, yet for some, realizing I’m the grown-up Lucius from Gladiator, and saying, ‘Wow, that’s incredible,’ is simply astounding.
He expressed his eagerness about watching the upcoming movie and seeing what Paul contributes to it. He also mentioned that it will be released shortly, which further increases his anticipation for it. In summary, he is really looking forward to it.
In the upcoming sequel, some familiar characters are set to reappear. Notably, Nielsen is returning, along with Derek Jacobi who will once again play Senator Gracchus. Additionally, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Tim McInnerny and Matt Lucas have been added to the cast as new members in Ridley Scott’s world filled with swords and sandals, joining Mescal.
Washington has spoken up about keeping his own dialect for the role of Macrinus, a North African powerbroker, in the movie.
He asked, “So, what’s our location?” Instead of mimicking an accent, you might unintentionally slip into a stereotypical African one, which could be misleading or inappropriate.
Gladiator II will be released in cinemas on November 15 in the UK and November 22 in the US.
