There are only a few hours left until tomorrow, Gladiator II land in cinemas around the world. The long-awaited sequel is the latest blockbuster in a somewhat on-and-off year for collections, although it’s expected the return to the sand by Máximo Décimo The Heir of Meridio is a real blockbuster of this month of November and one of those films that spectators flock to during the Christmas holidays. So and with a first of such magnitudethe promotional press conferences had a real king beyond its young protagonist, Paul Mescal. We talk of course Denzel Washington.
The two-time Oscar winner occupies most headlines who leaves this Roman advertising route. An additional merit if we take into account that Scott does not skimp too much on shortcuts when it comes to be completely sincere with the press. In recent days, Washington revealed that he doesn’t have much left to retire and that they are also in the process of writing a character for him. Black Panther 3. A production that even Marvel itself had not yet made official. Its ability to garner attention for the project actually comes from the trailer itself where many have criticized his character’s accent. But as if all that wasn’t enough, the New Yorker just revealed that in one sequence he kissed another male character, but they were a little “cowards” and it’s not something they left in the final assembly. A responsibility which, in reality, should fall to the British filmmaker himself, since as Scott confirmed a week ago, the author finally has the right and responsibility for the final cut of the edition that we are going to see in theaters.
A gay kiss outside of the montage
Most critics have noted that Gladiator II is one of the best recent films of Ridley Scott’s career. Of course, what comes up most is the praise for Denzel Washington’s character, a number of whom boast new consideration in the race to the golden statuettes. Well, his funny character might have been even more controversial if it had been left in the final cut, a kiss he gave to another member of the casting.
Thus, as the film’s script predicted, the libero he plays had relationships with other men. As is the case with any adaptation of the ancient Greek world, today it is the Roman Empire that must face the ever-recurring question of whether concerns homosexuality with these classic companies.
What to talk about in the digital magazine GayetDenzel Washington told what happened with the kiss we won’t get to see next Friday, Gladiator II in theaters:
“I actually kissed a man in the movie, but they took it away, they cut it, I think they were cowards. I kissed a guy on the lips and I guess he wasn’t ready for that yet. It killed him about five minutes later. East Gladiator. “It’s the kiss of death,” the actor eventually joked. On the other hand, this is not the only kiss that was left out of the last montage. Washington also kissed Paul Mescal on the face, ultimately being excluded from the footage that will be shown in theaters.
Denzel Washington’s character
From what we know, Denzel Washington plays Macrin. A freedman who has won enough victories to earn his own freedom. Like I said a few months ago Total movie The director, even though the character managed to free himself from his chains and turn his situation around, does not blame the Romans for what happened in the past. “He’s a guy who carries resentment inside of him.”
In the history of Gladiator IIMacrinus uses Lucius (Mescal) as a tool to conspire against the two tyrannical emperors, Geta and Caracalla (Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger). His ambition and aspirations therefore really serve to want to control Rome for his own interests.
Gladiator II Its main obstacle is its high budget, so it will have to at least overcome the 600 million dollars collection if it wants to be an unprofitable project and not generate losses. If this is a successful sequel, Scott already has a powerful idea for a hypothetical scenario. Gladiator III.
