Peter Mensah Joins ‘Gladiator’ sequel cast
British-Ghanaian actor, Peter Mensah has been added to the cast of the sequel to the Oscar-winning smash “Gladiator.”
The 63-year-old actor joins the previously revealed cast, which also includes Paul Mescal in the lead role, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Connie Nielsen. He is joined by May Calamawy, Lior Raz, Derek Jacobi, and Matt Lucas.
The new film follows the 2000 blockbuster Gladiator, which earned more than $460 million in worldwide box office and was nominated for 12 Oscars, winning five including Best Picture. The role of Maximus, the Roman general-turned-gladiator, was a career-changer for Russell Crowe, not only delivering him the Best Actor Oscar but also launching him to the top of every leading-man list.
