Denzel Washington stars with Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal in the highly anticipated Gladiator II. The historical action film is the long awaited sequel to 2000's Gladiator, taking place 15 years after the death of the first film's protagonist Roman general Maximus (Russell Crowe). In the upcoming epic, Washington plays Macrinus, a wealthy arms dealer and former gladiator who wants to take over Rome.

During an early screening in October, the 69-year-old described how exciting it was to work with life-size sets in Malta and revealed that he had a blast paying his character, who has a penchant for “trying to use everybody” to get what he wants. “When you would walk around, you were in Rome, and it seemed like 10,000 extras and horses,” Washington said. “It was make-believe, it was play, it was fun; just put the gear on, put the dress on and go, that’s the way I look at it. I’m putting this dress on, these rings, and I’m going crazy.”

Gladiator II arrives in theaters November 22.
