Denzel Washington has been discussing his character in Gladiator II – a former gladiator turned rich arms dealer.Washington was in attendance at an exclusive early screening of the Ridley Scott sequel on Friday night (October 18) alongside co-stars including Paul Mescal, Connie Nielsen and Fred Hechinger, and spoke about his character Macrinus in the Q&A.“He’s misunderstood.
He’s a nice fellow,” he began, per The Hollywood Reporter. “He’s trying to use everybody. He’d use his mother, he’d use his own children; he’s already used up his soul, so he didn’t have any left.
He’s in bed with the devil.”The two-time Oscar winner also explained that Scott made working on the movie easy by building lifesize sets when they shot in Malta, saying: “When you would walk around, you were in Rome, and it seemed like 10,000 extras and horses.
It was make-believe, it was play, it was fun; just put the gear on, put the dress on and go, that’s the way I look at it. I’m putting this dress on, these rings and I’m going crazy.”Gladiator II is set over two decades after the events of the first movie, which came out in 2000, and Mescal plays Lucius Verus, the son of Maximus – the main character of the first film.
