The Normal People star, 28, stars as enslaved former heir Lucius in Ridley Scott's long-awaited sequel.
A new trailer for Gladiator II sees Paul Mescal's Lucius Verus seek vengeance against Rome in a blood-soaked battle with his captor general Marcus Acacius.
'Whose head can I give you to satisfy your fury?' Macrinus asks Lucius, to which the Gladiator replies: 'The general will do. Rome has taken everything from me but I will have my vengeance.' But he is imprisoned by Marcus , a feared general who honed his fighting skills under the tutelage of Maximus, and his marauding army of troops.
'They are usually prisoners of war,' he says as he mentors Lucius - before the Gladiator takes to the colosseum to fight. 'I own you now,' Macrinus tells him. In a new trailer for the film, revenge-seeking Lucius is mentored as a Gladiator by Macrinus - a former slave who plots to control Rome Macrinus reveals he has gained the trust of the Emperor, as he says it will 'clear my path to the throne' and tells Lucius: 'You will be my instrument.' But Lucius rebels against his cruel 'mentor' and insists he will be his instrument, 'in this life or the next'.
