Joseph Quinn of Stranger Things is reportedly in talks to join the cast of the upcoming Gladiator sequel. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor — known best for his portrayal of Eddie Munson in the fourth season of Stranger Things — will play the role of Roman Emperor, Caracalla. The Ridley Scott-directed project will serve as a follow up to the 2000 iteration of Gladiator, which starred Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix as a former general-turned gladiator and emperor of Rome, respectively.
Per Variety, Quinn joins the sequel alongside Gladiator alum Connie Nielsen, who will reportedly reprise her role as Phoenix’s sister, Lucilla. Both actors will star alongside the sequel’s already announced cast of Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, and Barry Keoghan, the last of whom will reportedly portray Emperor Geta. It is said that Gladiator 2 will centre on Lucilla’s son Lucius (played by Mescal), though details around what role Washington will take on have been kept under wraps.
