Barry Keoghan is in talks to join Paul Mescal in Ridley Scott's 'Gladiator 2.'
We are most definitely entertained. The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Barry Keoghan, the Academy Award-nominated actor, is in talks to join Paul Mescal in Gladiator 2, Ridley Scott's long gestating sequel to his 2000 historical epic, Gladiator.
Keoghan is coming into the film off the back of a highly successful awards run, including grabbing a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at this weekend's Oscars for his heartbreaking turn in The Banshees of Inisherin alongside his fellow nominated co-stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Kerry Condon, while his director Martin McDonagh was up for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.
His unsettling onscreen appearances have seen him cast in antiheroic roles, or as characters who are offbeat and played with a sense of unease, as best seen in his breakout role in The Killing of a Sacred Deer, which also starred Farrell. He is also no stranger to big budget filmmaking, having appeared in two mega franchise movies - Marvel's Eternals, for Chloé Zhao, and DC's The Batman, in which he made a cameo appearance as The Joker in the Matt Reeves film.
