Denzel Washington is again reminding the aunties and the nieces that he is ‘generational fine’ after Paramount dropped the extended trailer of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II”.
According to BET The trailer stars Washington alongside Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and others, and according to the film’s summary, “Gladiator II” follows Lucius, played by Pascal, the son of Maximus’ love Lucilla, after Maximus’ death.
However, a particular poster featuring Washington has ignited conversations across X, formerly known as Twitter. The striking artwork reveals only half of Washington’s face, highlighting his gray-bearded visage and intense expression, accentuated by a slight furrow in his brow.
Notably, the “Man on Fire” star also sports a single gold hoop earring in his left ear in the image.
The photo appeared only to heighten the anticipation for the film. One online user commented, “He got the Michael Jordan hoop earring in so I’m anticipating a [fire emoji] Denzel classic.”
“Effortlessly fione [sic]. I wouldn’t care what this man was acting out. I’m watching,” added another onlooker. A third person noted, “He kinda look like he did in ‘Training Day.’ Fine”
Washington is slated to star in the upcoming film “High Low,” a collaboration between Apple Original Films and A24, directed by his longtime collaborator Spike Lee. Bronx native Ice Spice will make her acting debut alongside him in the movie.
Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator 2” hits theaters on November 22. Check out the trailer below.
