A bloody, sweaty Paul Mescal goes to war to save Rome in the new trailer for Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator 2.”

In the bloody new trailer we see Mescal's Lucius fighting a baboon, a rhino, and Pascal's brutal commander. Denzel Washington also stars as Macrinus, a mentor figure to Lucius, who we see trying to use Lucius as a pawn in the trailer. "I will never be your instrument, in this life or the next," he tells him.
