Warning: This article contains spoilers forGladiator 2.
You’d be forgiven for thinking his performance is pulled straight out of a Shakespearean tragi-comedy.
It’s one too that only develops and deepens as the film progresses.
And when he does?
Macrinus barely blinks before hacking his head clean from his shoulders.
Third time’s a charm, right?
Perhaps the most striking similarity comes from his most interesting relationship: the one he has with his tutee.
However, as Macrinus' influence grows, so does Lucius' rebellion.
But I’d argue that Gladiator 2 offers a slightly different side to him.
Gladiator 2 is out in the UK now, before releasing in US theaters on November 22.
