The pair, who have apparently gotten close while filming upcoming Marvel sequel Thor: Love and Thunder, are rumored to be in talks to co-produce Gladiator 2, with the idea being that Hemsworth will play Maximus’ son.
“Russell thinks he could be the only man to credibly play his son in a Gladiator sequel,” explains the source.
The same insider claims that both Crowe and Hemsworth are “carefully considering the concept” for the long-awaited Gladiator sequel and have “spent hours musing over script ideas.”
It seems that a blossoming new friendship between Hollywood A-listers Chris Hemsworth and Russell Crowe could result in a sequel to director Ridley Scott’s Oscar-winning historical epic, Gladiator.
