Following in the footsteps of Russell Crowe, it’s fellow Oscar-nominee Paul Mescal’s turn to battle in the Colosseum for Gladiator II.
It definitely didn’t make matters easy for Paul Mescal going up against Pedro Pascal, a rhinoceros, and the burning hot weather in Gladiator II.
While shooting battle scenes for the long-awaited sequel must have its own sets of challenges, Mescal gets real about the most “brutal” element of shooting Gladiator II’s Colosseum scenes, and you’d be surprised what it is.
I can’t imagine having to shoot arena scenes in the scorching hot sun being any fun.
