The excitement for the release of Gladiator 2 is at an all-time high. The initial trailer for the Gladiator sequel showcases epic battles and sweeping action scenes that invoke the energy from Ridley Scott 's first movie, while introducing new stakes that wouldn’t be possible without modern filmmaking technology. Apparently, the cast -- which includes A-listers like Denzel Washington , Paul Mescal , and Pedro Pascal -- went hardcore for this film as well, because, after Pascal got meme'd for his sword scene, his co-star teased some of the epicness he exudes in the Gladiator sequel.
In a recent interview with Empire , Paul Mescal opened up about the training he had to undergo for the latest Gladiator film , as well as what some of his co-stars brought to the table. He noted the battle between his character and Pascal's, and he complimented The Mandalorian actor on his fighting abilities. He was beyond impressed by the level of intensity The Last of Us star brought to the role, suggesting the audience would be too when they see him on the big screen.
However, the Aftersun star still thinks he would beat his scene partner if things actually came to blows. He said: I think I’d win in a fight between me and Pedro, but he’s deceptive. Pedro is one of the funniest men that I know, but he could fuck shit up.
Like, absolutely categorically. There’s a beast in there for sure. Both men got absolutely ripped for Gladiator 2, so it’s hard to say who would actually win.
I appreci.
