Denzel Washington on Paul Mescals Performance in Gladiator 2: ‘Hes His Own Gladiator’
Paul Mescal delivers a performance in Gladiator 2 that matches Russell Crowe’s original, as praised by his co-star Denzel Washington. Both actors will join Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielson, Fred Hechinger, and Joseph Quinn in Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated sequel to the classic multi-Oscar winning film Gladiator. Given the high expectations for the sequel, it’s natural that fans are anxious about whether Scott can recreate the success of the original. Although some have questioned the casting of Mescal and Pascal in the movie, Washington has reassured a small group of skeptics that both actors give outstanding performances in the long-awaited sequel.
