Nearly 25 years after the epic 2000’s movie “Gladiator” premiered, the highly anticipated sequel is making a return for part 2.<\/p>\n

“Normal People” and “Aftersun” breakout star Paul Mescal has been tagged to step into the arena for Ridley’s Scott “Gladiator 2.”<\/p>\n

While Mescal has big shoes to fill after Russell Crowe won an Oscar for the Hollywood movie, he will take on the role of Lucius, the son of Lucilla played by Connie Nielsen in the original movie, according to Variety via Deadline.<\/p>\n

“[After starring in \u2018Gladiator,\u2019] I got so many pats on the back, and, you know, I got some big awards and all that, and obviously that sort of stepped me up to a different level for quite some time,” the actor said.<\/p>\n

When Crowe re-watched the movie at a live screening of “Gladiator” at the Colosseum in Rome, he felt guilty about his awards.<\/p>\n

“I watched that movie, and it is a director’s movie. It was one of those moments of, ‘Why did I get all the attention, when the Academy Award belongs to Ridley Scott?'” he said.<\/p>\n

“Gladiator” also received Oscar wins for best picture, best sound, best visual effects and best costume design.<\/p>\n

Reps for Paul Mescal and Ridley Scott did not immediately return Fox News Digital’s request for comments.<\/p>\n
