Paul plays former heir to the Roman Empire Lucius Verus in the new blockbuster Gladiator II.
The film follows Lucius Verus, the former heir to the Roman Empire who is forced into slavery and eventually forced to fight in the Colosseum in an effort to restore glory.
Early reviews from critics have called Gladiator II the “best film of the year” and a “true epic”, while praising the performances of Paul and Denzel Washington.
With Russell Crowe’s legendary Maximus long dead and buried, it is the vengeful Lucius (Paul) who must fight for his freedom in the film after being taken into slavery and torn from his wife and daughter by General Marcus ( Peter Pascal).
In a new interview with Variety Paul said there was a scene towards the end of the film where a tired Lucius rides a horse chasing Macrinus.
Paul was willing to do his best for the action-packed moment and the other stunts, so he “trained for damn months,” before Ridley changed his mind about the scene.
Paul told the publication: “Two weeks before the scene, Ridley says, ‘You’re not doing it,’ and I said, ‘What the fuck?’, and we had this argument.” ‘
Ridley had decided to cut the scene due to equine advice he had received on another film.
Paul added of the altercation: “I was constantly bothering him. And then the day before he said, ‘Okay, you can do the trick, but if you go out, it’ll be two Bentleys.’
