‘Gladiator II’ Star Paul Mescal Says There’s “A Beast” Within Onscreen Antagonist Pedro Pascal
'Gladiator II's Paul Mescal has opened up about the "beast" within Pedro Pascal, his onscreen antagonist in the anticipated Ridley Scott sequel.
Anyone looking to pick a fight with Gladiator II ‘s Pedro Pascal may want to think again, according to his co-star Paul Mescal, who speaks about the actor’s physical prowess in a new interview with Empire. Mescal’s comments echo those of Pascal, who in an earlier interview with Vanity Fair, said he came to refer to his co-star as “Brick Wall Paul.” Empire’s cover story on Paramount’s Gladiator II also features filmmaker Ridley Scott, who called the film “full-bore, brutal action” and “the best thing I’ve ever made.” Mescal’s comments on the film weren’t his first, as he previously looked to manifest a new version of Barbenheimer between Gladiator II and Wicked, both of which open on November 22.
