Gladiator II's new trailer has recently been released! In this video, my character Legionary Decimus Helvidius Rufus ( • Legionarius ) first reacts to it in his Roman way, and then I talk about the historical context — indeed, the historical impossibility of the film, and the deviations from actual history that matter much more than others you've heard about before.
