Break out your togas! The cast of the highly anticipated Gladiator II is coming to Sydney for the Australian premiere and in exciting news that includes leading man Paul Mescal. The 28-year-old has become one of the biggest names in Hollywood in recent years after roles in Normal People and All of Us Strangers.
Mescal will be joined by Connie Nielsen, who starred in the original movie opposite our very own original gladiator Russell Crowe, and Fred Hechinger, who stars as Emperor Caracalla.
The trio will introduce the movie to fans at the Australian premiere at the Darling Harbour Theatre, ICC Sydney on Wednesday, October 30.
According to the synopsis, Gladiator II 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 (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.
The movie trailers already released tease epic fight scenes between Mescal and co-star Pedro Pascal, who sadly won’t be joining for the trip to Oz.
