It would be seemingly impossible to outdo the cast of 2000’s "Gladiator," the film that made Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix household names. However, the "Gladiator II" cast may have done just that. Not only does it star some newly-crowned Hollywood A-listers like Paul Mescal and Joseph Quinn, but it also features some industry vets like Connie Nielsen, Pedro Pascal and, perhaps most notably, the iconic Denzel Washington. The two-time Academy Award winner is already getting some Oscar buzz for the film, and although he’s a huge get for the "Gladiator series," he seems to think that the road stops here.
I sat down with Denzel Washington to talk about the new film, and when the subject of participating in future sequels came up, he responded in kind.
