Paul Mescal on Aftersun, Oscar Nomination, Normal People, Gladiator 2 – The Hollywood Reporter

After the run, Mescal will have a few months off before heading into production this summer on Gladiator 2,which will shoot in Europe. Mescal was hand-picked to star in the sequel by Ridley Scott, who is back at the reins from where his 2000 best picture winner left off. Contrary to rumors of gladiatorial sparring among Hollywood’s leading men, Mescal says he did not have to audition for the lead role of adult Lucius, depicted in the original as the young nephew of Commodus, the Roman Emperor played by Joaquin Phoenix. He simply took a meeting with the 85-year-old directing legend in which Scott “discussed the parameters of the story. Then, after the fact, I was given a script,” Mescal says. “And I’m so proud I get to make it. It’s an intimidating feat. It’s something I’m nervous about but something I feel like I can do.”

I ask what kind of transformation his body — just a bit thicker than a competitive swimmer’s build — might have to undergo to play a gladiator.

“With films like this and superhero films, there is sometimes a focus on that,” he says, “which I don’t find that interesting. Of course there’s a physical robustness required for the character, but past that, I’m not interested. This guy’s got to fight and got to be a beast. And whatever that looks and feels like is right for me, is what it’s going to be. Sometimes I see films and I’m like, ‘That person doesn’t look real.’ “

The Oscars may have shut Ireland out from taking home any gold on Sunday, but they're coming back with a vengeance!

Anyway, this should OBVIOUSLY be called "See You Later, Gladiator"

[Arachnerd]

Okay... my curiosity on this movie has just been raised 30%.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Gothamsknight]

Okay, Ridley. I'm in.

 

[Iceman]

Interest will go up a lot if this gets confirmed.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Gladia2or...bring it on

 

[Pennywise]

Between Keoghan and Washington, my interest has skyrocketed! Can’t wait to hear who else joins the film!

 

[SwordOfMorning]

I'm a sucker for even Ridley's weak films so count me right the **** in with this cast.

 

[CaptainWagner]

Now THATS a cast. Stoked for Ridley and Denzel to reunite post-American Gangster.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Force Ghost Maximus appearance at some point please taunting Denzel.

 

[samsnee]

This just got interesting

 

[kguillou]

Damn Scott’s not playing around with this.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Sawyer]

Considering Denzel has been the lead in every movie he’s been in for the better part of his career, Ridley must really be cooking something up here to attract him to what’ll likely be an “And ______” role.

 

[Iceman]

Keoghan is going to absolutely explode over the next few years.

 

[emielaen]

He'll be twice or thrice Oscar nominated before his "legit" Joker performance in Batman Part III

Calling it now

Should have started w/Killing of a Sacred Deer, but I'm very happy to see him taking off now.
