Part of why Gladiator 2’s jam-packed roster of actors is so surprising is because of the cast assembled for the very first Gladiator. This feature is becoming a staggeringly star-studded affair and that’s before one considers what the cast of the original Gladiator was like. However, the rest of this ensemble cast has been just packed with unexpectedly massive names, including none other than Denzel Washington making a rare foray into $100+ million budgeted blockbusters with his Gladiator 2 part. Long-swirling rumors that the production was aiming to get a major name for its lead role made it no surprise that recent Oscar nominee Paul Mescal was secured as the feature’s protagonist. Slowly but surely, Gladiator 2 has assembled a remarkably stacked supporting cast.


What is surprising, though, is the group of actors that have been attached to work on this project. Given that Scott’s been constantly doing period-piece epics in the years since Gladiator, it’s not shocking that he’d be down to return to shoot Gladiator 2. Audiences will once again get to explore the world of one of the first pop culture phenomena of the 21st century, with director Ridley Scott returning to helm this follow-up.
