Washington explained, "I actually kissed a man in the film but they took [it] out. I think they got chicken. I killed them about five minutes later, but... it's Gladiator. The kiss of death."
Ridley Scott suggested that there was at least a 'twinkle' of bisexuality in the character of Macrinus, reflecting a complex portrayal of sexuality in Ancient Rome.
Gladiator II, with stars Mescal and Pascal, showcases a blend of homoeroticism amidst its brutal landscape, challenging conservative norms within the epic action genre.
The casting of Mescal and Pascal was an indicator of the film's potential to explore themes of masculinity and sexuality, stirring excitement among audiences.
