Denzel Washington, 69, is almost unrecognizable in the first trailer for Gladiator II with Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal


The first trailer for the film Gladiator 2 was shared on Tuesday. It is the sequel to the 2000 historical epic starring Russell Crowe.

At the time, the OG flick won five Oscars from its 11 nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Russell Crowe's portrayal of gladiator Maximus. Fans of the series will remember that Lucius is also the nephew of Marcus’ son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), who killed his father to seize the throne. However, the warrior managed to puncture the emperor and save the young boy and his mother while avenging his own wife and son's death, something that made a lasting impact on Lucius.
