Enthusiasts of the anticipated movie “Gladiator II” in 2024 may have been eagerly waiting for Paul Mescal and Ridley Scott to work together again. Unfortunately, it appears that their planned collaboration might not be happening as soon as fans had hoped due to a scheduling conflict that has left Mescal unavailable. In his stead, Jacob Elordi from “Euphoria” could potentially grab the opportunity!
According to Variety’s report, the rising talent who shone in shows like “All Of Us Strangers” and “Normal People” was initially picked to play a role in Scott’s post-apocalyptic drama titled “The Dog Stars.” Unfortunately, there seems to be a development regarding Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles biopics that could cause Paul Mescal to withdraw from the project.
It seems there are whispers that Paul Mescal could portray Paul McCartney in an upcoming four-film series. However, according to a recent conversation with Ridley Scott, it appears that Mescal might not end up playing the role, but this doesn’t necessarily mean a dispute has arisen – at least not yet.
According to the 2012 novel titled “The Dog Stars” written by Peter Heller, it’s possible that Elordi could portray the character of Hig in Scott’s proposed movie. This character is a pilot who battles marauders in a world devastated by a catastrophic flu virus that almost wiped out humanity, making it understandable why the team behind “Gladiator II” might view it as a potential opportunity for reunion.
As a devoted admirer, I must say that it’s not the first instance where the radiant Saltburn star, set to grace our screens soon in Guillermo del Toro’s forthcoming reimagining of Frankenstein, has experienced an intriguing turn of events in his career. Even the casting for the 2025 Netflix movie adaptation faced scheduling challenges when Joe replaced Andrew Garfield as the Frankenstein’s Monster.
In summary, it’s important to note that everyone related to the discussions about “The Dog Stars” hasn’t yet finalized their schedules. Sir Ridley Scott is preparing for his next project, which is the long-awaited biopic of the Bee Gees. Jacob Elordi has upcoming scheduling obligations, including filming Season 3 of “Euphoria” and a forthcoming adaptation of “Wuthering Heights” starring Margot Robbie.
Once again, it’s important to stay attentive as The Dog Stars advances during this new phase of development. Remember, let’s try not to set our expectations too high in either direction for now. On a different note, Gladiator II is currently playing in cinemas and available for video-on-demand rental. Its release date on streaming platforms has yet to be announced.
It’s reasonable to infer that, upon release, Ridley Scott and Paul Mescal’s blockbuster will likely be accessible for Paramount+ subscribers. This assumption is justified given that Paramount was the studio behind the production, and it’s also where you can stream the 25th anniversary special edition of the Russell Crowe classic that started it all.
