    I saw Gladiator II the other day and he more than holds his own in the role. He has big shoes to fill trying to keep the franchise going that Russell Crowe made his own and I think I was probably comparing him to Crowe in the first half of the movie but I did stop thinking about Crowe and focused on his performance by the second half or maybe earlier. I could see Ridley Scott making a third and Paul really shaking off the shadow of the first movie and this really making a name for himself. His accent is really good also - didn't hear his Irish accent come out once. Well worth watching.

      After Aftersun, I would highly recommend watching him in the series Normal People and the films, Foe and All of Us Strangers. His was duly recognised for his roles in Normal People, Aftersun and All of Us Strangers. But I am also very fond of his portrayal of Junior (and AI Junior) in the beautifully haunting sci-fi psychological thriller Foe - in which he is well matched by his co-stars Saoirse Ronan and Aaron Pierre.

    It is a little ridiculous to have British people making films about gladiators with Irish and British actors. That's from a historical point of view of course. I am sure Mr. Mescal is a wonderful actor, but still. I understand that the gladiators came from different parts of the empire, but the ruling class was Roman, so I would want to see Italians with Italian accents in that type of movies not a version of that director's. But, that is just me.

      IM(not-so)HO, Paul Mescal's charisma is off the charts. He also does a lot of his own stunts. Have you seen his impressive horsemanship? If not, check out the Hollywood Authentic video titled 'Paul Mescal Talks Horses with Greg Williams'.

      Actually, that horse video is well worth a watch for Mescal's charisma alone. But nobody could be unimpressed by how effortlessly he mounts that huge horse from a running start - twice!

      I’m not talking about Mescal Charisma or even talent, he seems a very talented hard working, good looking charismatic actor… the question is from the pure straight view point of the art… the casting was not a plus for the calibre of this film… good Actors can do anything but at certain point of their careers have stronger attributes and profiles than others or in a certain time… I think Mescal is good for other profile of film… not the Gladiator type… it’s just that 😌 From the pure perspective of the cinema as an art…

      @@leopoldo3279 I think it's safe to assume that Paul Mescal was cast at least in part because of his facial profile. But Mescal also has a reasonably strong presence in the trailers and teasers, despite the fact that he's meant to be portraying a reluctant leader. Curiously, I revisited Russell Crowe's appearance in the original movie, which was made back in his youth, and at a time of his own relative obscurity internationally. Crowe didn't bring as much gravitas to (at least parts of) that film as some people seem to think. BTW, I'm an Aussie, and I remember going to Australian film festivals and theatres and watching Crowe as a young local talent, including in Proof and Romper Stomper (the latter being a very disturbing film in my own youth for its sexual violence).

      There are a certain type of charisma that fighters and warriors have, that Paul Mescal, at least now, in this phase of life and career still don’t have, Russel Crowe, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves etc… the casting failed… make the sense your explanation but still doesn’t answer to the demand for this movie…

      Spoiler alert: Maximus did slay the evil emperor of the Roman Empire in the old movie. That will create a legacy. Disappearing everyone from that movie, off screen, to create a completely unrelated story would have made zero sense.
