it would appear Pedro Pascal, star of Disney+’s “The Mandalorian” and HBO’s “The Last of Us” is boarding Sir Ridley Scott‘s long gestating “Gladiator 2.”
As we, and other outlets hear it, Pascal is in final negotiations to join the cast, which already includes Connie Nielsen, Denzel Washington, Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn, and Paul Mescal, who will star as grown up Lucius.
Scott himself will direct, from a script by David Scarpa.
Paramount has already dated the project, which has not started filming yet, to release on November 22nd, 2024.
