Industry sources said the sets for the Roman-era epic film are currently being created at Fort Ricasoli which will once again be transformed into the Coliseum. Some 200 workers are currently engaged in set production. Gladiator 2 is expected to star Paul Mescal as the protagonist while reports have suggested that Scott was finalising talks with Hollywood star Denzel Washing- ton to feature as Mescal's rival. Sources said the film will be shot mostly in Malta with some studio work in the UK. This will be Scott's fourth film in Malta, having shot White Squall in 1996, the first Gladiator movie in 1999, and Napoleon last year. Mescal will not be replacing Russel Crowe's Maximus, whose character died in the original film, but will be playing Lucius, the son of Lucilla (Connie Niels- en). Lucius is now a grown man as the story takes place two dec- ades after the first film ended. Paramount is behind Gladiator 2 but the original was a co-pro- duction with Universal, which will have the option to co-pro- duce the sequel once the project is packaged. The release date for the film has been set for November 2024. The first Gladiator film earned over $400 million (€376m) worldwide and launched Russel Crowe's international acting ca- reer. Crowe picked up Best Ac- tor in the Oscars for his part as Maximus. Gladiator was nomi- nated for 12 Oscars, winning five, including Best Picture and Best Actor. Generous tax breaks for film makers have made Malta an at- tractive option for films to be shot here. Among the large Holly- wood films shot in Malta recently were Jurassic World Dominion and the period film Napoleon. The Malta Film Commission recently embarked on a drive to encourage people to join the film industry, which it says is no longer a seasonal one. With back-to-back productions happening on the islands, the Commission is offering a training programme to provide prospec- tive workers in the industry with the necessary skills to find a job in the film industry.
