Released in 2000, the original “Gladiator” starred Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Roman soldier forced into slavery who vows revenge against Commodus, played by Joaquin Phoenix. Since Maximus dies at the end of “Gladiator,” Aftersun ’s Paul Mescal is earmarked to play Lucius, the son of Maximus’ lover Lucilla (played by Connie Nielsen), in the sequel.
