Mescal stars in the sequel to Scott's Oscar-winning 2000 historical epic starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix. He plays Lucius, the son of Connie Nielsen's Lucilla from the first film.

With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people."
Gladiator II stars Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz, Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington and is set to hit theaters on November 22. Scroll through to see the first cast posters for the film as well as first-look images!
