Pedro Pascal was seen attending the screening of Gladiator II with his sister Lux Pascal. Lux Pascal became the talk of the town because of her waist-high slit dress.

Gladiator II borrows so much from its predecessor it almost gives us the same film all over again, right down to inserting actual scenes from the first movie throughout. There are a few spectacular set pieces – mostly to do with ships – but overall we get undercooked characters and a plot that requires some mental gymnastics to accept.
