Ridley Scott’s Gladiator sequel has added Moon Knight star May Calamawy to the cast. She’s joined the already star-studded line-up of the Paramount sequel that features Paul Mescal in the lead role, as well as Stranger Things actor Joseph Quinn, Denzel Washington, and Pedro Pascal.
It’s not clear yet exactly which role Calamawy will be playing in the movie, but according to Deadline, it’s a pivotal part of the story. So far details on the direction of the sequel are slim, but we do know Mescal will be playing Lucius, the son of Lucilla (played by Connie Nielsen in the original and this sequel) and nephew of Joaquin Phoenix’s Commodus.
