Women and men, he conquered everyone. Since Hollywood finally recognizes Pedro Pascal and has given him his right place, we realize that everyone loves him.

And this was confirmed with Gladiator 2, where he finds himself magnified by the camera of Ridley Scott.

Gladiator 2: A milestone in Pedro Pascal's career?

In an interview with Hellothe actor spoke about his work with Ridley Scott, one of the most emblematic directors in the world: “Being on the set of a film by Ridley Scott does not look like any cinematographic experience I have lived. And I say it in all sincerity“”

“”I was on incredible shooting sets. I was on the set of Game of ThronesI was on the set of Star Wars. Incredible productions. And I have never been on something like Gladiator 2 and I am not ready to be again on something like Gladiator 2“.

“”It is no longer done“, He said about the approach of Ridley Scott, which is based on an old -fashioned achievement, with real decorative elements and real explosions. Scott platforms are made up of large teams that do not count on the help of synthetic images to create breathtaking images, explosions and crazy waterfalls – which is found in the film that takes the film that takes the film,

“”Ridley is the kind of director who insists that all the parts are in place. It runs several cameras at the same time so that everything is there in front of you“Explains Pascal.

It is the kind of old -fashioned entertainment that does things that we can only do today in the cinema

What is Gladiator 2 talking about?

Gladiator 2 naturally imposed itself for months before its dining room as one of the most anticipated consequences of all time. The original film, released in 2000, put forward Russel Crowe in the role of Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Roman general betrayed and sold as a slave. Having no other possibility, Maximus becomes gladiator and climbed the ladder in the arena in the hope of avenge the murder of his family.

The continuation follows the story of the son of Maximus, Lucius, played by Paul Mescal, who becomes gladiator after his country was invaded and was taken prisoner of war.

Pedro Pascal embodies General Marcus Acacius, a character who quickly becomes the enemy of Lucius. Although Acacius is in many ways one of the film's antagonists, Pascal's role and interpretation are impregnated with several layers. “”One of the things that I like most about this character is his context compared to one of the original characters most appreciated by the first film“Explains Pascal. He creates a specific link between the characters in the Gladiator universe.

Pedro Pascal also mentioned the preparation he followed to play in the film, which has many combat scenes. “”I prepared myself for this role by training, mainly“. Regarding work on his character, he tried to immerse himself in the work of Ridley Scott, which turned out to be very pleasant.

“”Instead of studying Roman history, I took the opportunity to review all my favorite films by Ridley Scott. I let my imagination soak up its visual conception of cinema. And to give me unconsciously to his vision, to be a piece of decoration and to honor the movement of his images as best I could.“”

“”It is not really an actor game, it is rather a kind of … I know which instrument I am and I transform myself into the best instrument so that he can play it.“Then add laughing:”I think of Ridley who makes me in a clarinet and who says: 'Here is Pedro, my clarinet'“.
