'Normal People' and 'Aftersun' star Paul Mescal has been lined up to star in the sequel to 'Gladiator' following positive meetings with Ridley Scott.

A highlight from his trip was Crowe revisiting the scene of the classic 2000s film in which he starred alongside Joaquin Phoenix. [Crowe paid tribute to Gladiator](https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/russell-crowe-remembers-gladiator-rome-colosseum/) during a visit to the Colosseum during his Roman holiday. [Collider](https://collider.com/gladiator-2-script-finished-ridley-scott/): “Oh, it’s been written. Reportedly, Mescal won’t be taking on the role of Russell Crowe’s Maximus, who met his demise in the first film. So when I’ve done Napoleon, Gladiator will be ready to go.” Although Scott continued to meet with other talent, insiders say it seemed clear to all involved that Mescal clearly was Scott’s top choice following a fantastic meeting between the two.”
