Russell Crowe was not invited to star in the second “Gladiator”

Russell Crowe will not appear in the sequel to the 2000 historical thriller Gladiator. He revealed this in an interview with ET when asked about Ridley Scott’s next project. According to Crowe, he is the greatest director of all time. And as for the sequel to the story, Scott is going to rethink it and make the second part no less, and maybe even more enchanting than the first. The film was recognized at the end of 2000 as the best and received an Oscar. Russell Crowephoto source: pinterest“I really don’t know much. We had dinner (with Ridley) several times after the announcement, but we didn’t really talk about it. These are not my things. I am not here. I am six feet under,” he added, recalling the death of his hero from the original painting, Roman general Maximus, demoted to gladiators. It was previously reported that the second “Gladiator” will feature Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Barry Keoghan and others.
