Paul Mescal, star of Gladiator II, expressed excitement about the film's potential impact akin to past hits like Barbenheimer. He noted the contrast between Gladiator II and Wicked: Part One, praising their divergence in themes and genres. The Gladiator sequel, set decades after its predecessor, follows Lucius (played by Mescal) navigating life as a gladiator post-invasion. The film promises a blend of action and political intrigue, paying homage to its predecessor while exploring new narrative directions. Meanwhile, Wicked explores the friendship between Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), delving into their complex dynamics against the backdrop of Oz. Both films are slated for release on Nov. 22, aiming to captivate audiences with their distinct storylines and star-studded casts.
