Pedro Pascal and Connie Nielsen recently sat down with ET’s Nischelle Turner to discuss their highly anticipated film, ‘Gladiator II,’ which is set to hit theaters on Nov. 22. Fans of the original 2000 film, ‘Gladiator,’ will be thrilled to see the sequel, which takes place years after the events of the first movie. Nielsen reprises her role as Lucilla, and she explains during the interview why she felt so protective of her co-star Paul Mescal on set.
During the conversation, Pascal couldn’t help but shower praise on Mescal, referring to him as a “limitless babe.” The ‘Mandalorian’ star also joked that he aspires to achieve “ultimate babe status” himself, possibly hinting at the intense physical training he underwent for the film. Pascal also admits that working on ‘Gladiator II’ would have been even more fun if he were 20 years younger, showcasing his sense of humor and light-heartedness.
The chemistry between the cast members is evident, as Pascal speaks highly of Mescal and Nielsen reveals her protective instincts towards her co-star. The fact that Pascal knew the film would be a success once Mescal was cast is a testament to the talent and camaraderie within the ‘Gladiator II’ cast. As the release date approaches, fans of action-packed films and compelling storytelling can look forward to witnessing the dynamic performances of these talented actors on the big screen.
