In a few months, one of the most ambitious films of recent years will be released in theaters: Gladiator 2. After the success of the first installment, which was crowned both at the box office and with critics, Ridley Scott will return in this sequel with a cast of high-caliber actors and actresses, among which stands out Denzel Washington
In an interview with the American media Empirethe American actor, who will play the creepy arms dealer Macrinus in the film, explained why he decided to accept this role, assuring that the main reason is his own Ridley Scott.
“I have very few films left to do that interest me, and I have to be inspired by the filmmaker, and Ridley inspired me a lot. We had a great meeting the first time [en American Gangster]And here we are. He’s engaged. He’s excited about life and his next movie. He’s an inspiration. We should all want to feel that way at 86.”
As Washington says, his experience with the filmmaker on previous projects was tremendously good, and if you add to this the British director’s ambition for this film, you have a role that is almost obligatory to accept if you want your career to be remembered by the public.
Ridley Scott is being very ambitious with his next film, and production has been anything but smooth. With a budget of several hundred million dollars and an enviable cast, Gladiator 2 will seek to become one of the best films of the year.
