Russell Crowe Talks About A Possible 'Gladiator' Sequel Pointing Out That He Possibly Wouldn't Be In It

Russell Crowe is opening up about the much-talked about sequel to Gladiator.

During a new interview, the subject of a sequel to the popular 2000 film was brought up again, after being talked about for years.

“I can tell you those conversations have been going on since the last day of shooting,” he told E!. “The last one and there’s been a lot of different ideas of approaching things.”

But, Russell admits, he might not even be in the movie at all because he keeps “being like this sort of party pooper when I say, I just wanted to remind you I died in the first one.”

Connie Neilsen, who starred in the film with Russell as Lucilla, spoke to Entertainment Weekly that she is up for the project if it develops into one.

“I think it’s a question of COVID and can we get back to work. But I would be interested in doing [the film], for sure. I mean, it’s obviously a wonderful project, so of course I would be interested.”

Russell‘s new movie, Unhinged, is expected to be released later this month.
