Just weeks after Ridley Scott stated he was keen to make a sequel to Gladiator, the film's star Russell Crowe has confirmed his interest in reprising his role.
The Kiwi star is giving serious consideration to returning as Maximus, in spite of the character being killed off in the last movie.
Crowe told WENN: "We talk about it every now and then.
"We did kind of make it tricky for ourselves, considering we killed the character at the end of the first one. But that's not necessarily going to stop us."
"There have been stranger things happen out of Hollywood... There's a sort of ‘What happens in the after-life?’ question."
Director Ridley Scott recently said: "I will probably do a sequel to Gladiator.
"The only problem is Russell Crowe was such a powerful presence and, of course, Maximus dies at the end. We'll have to get Russell back somehow."
