What happens when you put Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal and Joseph Quinn in the same movie? Pandemonium on the Internet. The trio of actors will lead the Gladiator 2 cast, and following the First images projected at CinemaCon This week, fans who haven't even seen it yet (because it wasn't publicly released) proclaim that they were simultaneously very ready and so I'm not ready to see the three heartthrobs share the screen.
During this week's CinemaCon, which CinemaBlend attended, we had the chance to see Ridley Scott debut the first footage from the long-awaited sequel ahead of its release this fall in the 2024 movie calendar. The sneak peek of he Gladiator continuation involved Paul Mescal's Lucius fighting a rhinoceros and both Pascal and Quinn were introduced as the villainous emperors following Joaquin Phoenix's memorable performance as Commodus in the 2000 original. Here's one way Twitter is reacting to reports about the images:

Paul Mescal began to attract attention when he starred in the television adaptation of the popular romance book. Normal people with Daisy Edgar-Jones in 2020. Since then, the Irish actor has continued to gain popularity (Much to his regret), especially with his Oscar-nominated role in the 2022 film. After the sun. In terms of Pedro Pascal… Do I really need to explain? The actor has risen through the ranks to become the Internet's sweetheart, especially with his “dad” roles on The Mandalorian and The last of us.
As this fan pointed out, waiting to see them together on screen is too much, we need a trailer now:
