There’s no place like Rome… Embark on an epic of the most epic proportions with a Lexus Movie Mixer Preview of legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott's Gladiator II, with a Tommy's Limoncello Spritz on arrival worthy of a weary Roman!In the long-awaited sequel to Scott's iconic, blood-pumping revenge tale, Gladiator, 24 years after its release, Oscar nominee Paul Mescal – looking gloriously toned and reminiscent of a Gladiator-era Russell Crowe – triumphs in the lead role of Lucius, the young son of Lucilla, Connie Nielsen’s noblewoman from the original movie.
Gladiator II continues the story following on from the death of Crowe’s Maximus. Decades after Maximus sacrifices himself to topple corrupt leadership and society, Lucius has come of age far away from his mother who he grew to resent after she sent him to the northern coast of Africa when he was a child.
Now grown, Lucius lives a mostly peaceful life with his wife and child until conquerors from Rome begin to make their way to the region. Pedro Pascal’s Marcus Acacius, a Roman general, leads the charge and is a symbol of everything Lucias is against. Following this conflict, Lucias is taken to be a prisoner of Rome and forced to enter the Colosseum as a gladiator.
Mescal and Pascal star alongside a mighty ensemble cast that includes two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Connie Nielsen, and Derek Jacobi. With this fighting-fit talent and pulse-pounding, sword-clashing action sequences, Scott delivers another superb instant classic of the genre.
