Russell Crowe as Maximus looking over his shoulder in Gladiator
In Gladiator II, Pedro Pascal plays Marcus Acacius, a Roman general who trained directly under Gladiator's protagonist, Maximus, which means Pascal's character could potentially cast a dark shadow over Maximus' legacy. Set to release at the end of November, Gladiator II is the highly anticipated sequel to Ridley Scott's sword-and-sandal hit, Gladiator.
In this way, Acacius seems to be a character who toes the line between good and bad, and only time will tell whether Acacius is a man audiences can trust. ✕ Remove Ads Related Gladiator: The Actors Who Almost Played Maximus Instead Of Russell Crowe Russell Crowe was not the only actor considered to play Maximus in Gladiator, and the other names in contention would have each changed the movie.
