"We certainly were aware of the legacy of the first film, so we wanted to pay homage to that, and understand that it’s one of those films that a lot of people get misty-eyed about, myself included," said Quinn. "Going back near that world felt a little daunting, but also utterly thrilling. Yes, I play one of the emperors in it, and it was a truly incredible experience. And that's all I can say."

Although Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington have sizable starring roles, the lead character will be Lucilla's son, Lucius Verus.
