Russell Crowe has his own theories about what the Paul Mescal-led Gladiator2 will be about.
Before Russell Crowe took on the mantle of Father Gabriel Amorth to uncover and expel sinister beings from the bodies of the living in The Pope’s Exorcist, the actor had stared in one of the great depictions of warriors from Ancient Rome, Gladiator . Created by Ridley Scott, the film went on to become a brilliant success with critics while doing well financially, and many had expected a sequel to follow soon.
Those plans did not materialize until recently with the casting of leads for Gladiator 2. Crowe who had played the titular character of Maximus in the original has spoken in a recent interview with The Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio One about his status within the sequel. The Australian actor revealed that the events in the sequel happened “long beyond Maximus’s passing” and he won't be a part of the project.

Now looking back, he explains that he does not dwell too much on it saying, “I don't want to dwell on it too much because it does take me back to a period of time when obviously I was significantly younger. And you know, the rose-colored glasses of that experience now are perfectly crystallized.

We could see an emperor who is interested in getting into the fighting pits of the Colosseum and putting on a spectacle.
