Paul Mescal says he would “absolutely love” to do a third Gladiator film after director Ridley Scott teased that he could be looking to do a follow-up.

The highly-anticipated second instalment of the 2000 film Gladiator, which was originally fronted by Oscar-winner Russell Crowe as Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, had its premiere in London at the Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square.
