Pedro Pascal opened up about the upcoming Gladiator sequel in a new interview with Esquire UK.

Gladiator is one of Russell Crowe‘s biggest movies and most recognizable roles. However, he recently revealed that he had some hesitations about the part.

The 59-year-old actor’s work in the movie won him a Best Actor Oscar in 2001. The movie was so successful that it’s getting a sequel more than two decades later that will star Paul Mescal.
