Mescal won’t be replacing Crowe’s Maximus, whose character met his end in the original film, but instead he will be playing Lucius, the son of Lucilla (Connie Nielsen), who now is a grown man as the story takes place years after the first film ended.
I hope Elagabalus is in the movie. He was the most interesting emperor and fits well into our current age. -

Thanks for the heads up! I’m going to try out. What are my chances:
My Name Is Gluteus Maximus Magumbo. Commander of the Northlands and layder of its paypulls. General of the Penis Regions And Loyal Servant To The True Emperor, Neiman Marcus. Father To A Sundered Myrrh, Husband To A Mermaid Wife. And I Will Have My Fences Mended. In This Life and so on and so forth.
I think the part is as good as mine!
