Denzel Washington Is ‘Extraordinary’ In ‘Oscar-Worthy’ Gladiator II

The veterans who shared the news with DEADLINE’s Pete Drummond, said the race for the Oscars “has been very slow at the movies”, and they were excited to “finally have something Oscar-worth” in view.

According to Hammond only Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune: Part II’, released earlier in the year made the Best Picture contender.

He, however, praised Riddley Scott’s ‘Gladiator II’ describing Paul Mescal who plays the main protagonist as ‘terrific’, and Denzel Washington ‘extraordinary’ in it.
