I only watch Gladiator II for Pedro Pascal – The Spectator

While many people are excited about the long-awaited sequel to “gladiator” (2000), for Star Paul Mescal. I can’t wait to see the film.”Gladiator II” (2024) for none other than Pedro Pascal. And no, I haven't seen the first film and don't plan on seeing it.

In the film is Pascal's character Marcus Acaciusis a tough Roman general and gladiator who is also described as a good killer.

Pascal's costumes for this film look incredible and make it all the more beautiful. And when he says: “I claim this city for the glory of Rome.” in the Trailer. I lie on the floor sobbing. He sounds so good.

However, given Pascal's previous roles, I worry that his character will suffer a gruesome death Oberyn Martell In “game of Thrones” (2011-2019) or Agent Whiskey In “Kingsmen: The Golden Circle(2017).

I still have trauma from how his eyes popped out the first time. And I don't care if his character was evil in the latter. Seeing him get chopped up in that meat grinder still haunts me.

This may not surprise anyone who knows me, but it's not the first time I've seen something just for Pascal, and it won't be the last either.

I will watch his upcoming film: “The Fantastic Four: The First Steps(2025). I also haven't seen the original films of this reboot – my only experience with the original characters is Chris Evans Cameo appearance in “Deadpool and Wolverine(2024).

But if I don't look at the originals, nothing changes for me. I will continue to support Pascal and check out everything he releases.

I'm waiting to see it”The wild robot(2024) also when it appears on streaming platforms. Pascal's face doesn't even appear in the film, just his voice. It is literally a children's book adaptation of an animated film.

But based on the edits I've seen on TikTok, this is how Pascal's voice is finch has reignited my love for selfish fox characters. Yes, I'm talking about Nick Wilde in “Zootopia” (2016).

Now back to Gladiator II. While I may not have seen the first film yet and have no intention of seeing it, I can't wait for it to be released. I know Pascal will absolutely destroy this role.

I've loved watching his fame blossom since “The Last of Us(2023). I've loved Pascal since Kingsmen and even remember seeing him in Kingsmen.The equalizer 2” (2018) when my parents had it on TV.

Anyone who knows me knows that Pascal is my favorite actor and person. I love the man not only for his beautiful looks but also for his ability to portray a character. He even makes me feel sorry for a villain or a random supporting character.

I can't wait to see what Pascal does next.
