Russell Crowe Does Not Like The Fact That A ‘Gladiator 2’ Is Being Made

Buy Me A Coffee

So, guess who’s getting all worked up about the Gladiator sequel? None other than Russell Crowe! Yes, our favorite Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, now a seasoned 60-year-old, has a lot to say about this cinematic resurrection.

In a recent chit-chat, Russell confessed that the idea of a Gladiator 2 makes him squirm in his toga. Why, you ask? Well, it turns out the whole โ€œbeing deadโ€ thing is a bit of a bummer when it comes to script decisions.

“Iโ€™m slightly uncomfortable with the fact theyโ€™re making another one โ€” because, of course, Iโ€™m dead and I have no say in what gets done,” Russell spilled the beans on Kyle Meredith Withโ€ฆ โ€œBut a couple of the things Iโ€™ve heard Iโ€™m like, โ€˜No, no, no, thatโ€™s not in the moral journey of that particular character.โ€™ But I canโ€™t say anything, itโ€™s not my place, Iโ€™m six foot under. So weโ€™ll see what that is like.โ€

Translation: Russell’s ghost is totally side-eyeing the new script from the afterlife. Someone get this man a ghostwriter credit!

In the past, Russell joked he should get a paycheck for every time someone pesters him about the sequel. And who could blame him? It’s like being haunted by your own film legacy. Still, he did throw a bone to director Ridley Scott, saying he had faith in the sequel under Ridley’s watchful eye.
