Gladiator 2's "New Maximus" Shows Why Russell Crowe Doesn't Need To Return

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

New set photos from Gladiator 2 show the long-awaited sequel's Maximus replacement, proving there's no need for Russell Crowe's return. Ridley Scott's original Gladiator film sported Russell Crowe as the general turned gladiator Maximus Decimus Meridius, a role that solidified him as one of the world's most prominent movie stars. The character has a unique blend of charisma and physicality that few stars could pull off, begging the question of whether Crowe would be returning for a sequel for years despite his character being dead. Now, Gladiator 2 is in development with an all-new cast.
