Pedro Pascal and Paul Mescal are both on the cover of Entertainment Weekly to promote their upcoming film, Gladiator II.

- Photoshoot was done on the London set of the film.

- Ridley Scott said they didn't do the sequel for so long because everyone was busy, and no one had a great idea of what the sequel should be.

- Paul Mescal, on shooting fights in the arena: "It was brutal, the fight. I grew up playing sports, so I would consider myself pretty robust and happy to throw myself around, but it was just the [arena] itself became like a radiator. I was borderline throwing up, irritable, just hardcore. Between takes I was firing ice straight down my back."

- Pedro Pascal, on shooting fights in the arena: "I'm getting up there - or, I'm not getting up there, I am up there," jokes the 49-year-old. "A lot of work has been really physical, and I love that, but it was more challenging than it's ever been for me."

- Denzel Washington, on having a good time shooting: "Everybody keeps saying that," he says, clearly a bit baffled by the feedback. "I'm having too good a time. Is that what you're telling me?...  I'm just sitting up in this tent, twirling my goblet. That's fun."

- Lots of talk about the plot + other cast members.
