He's the worst thing about Gladiator
Ridley Scott really dropped the ball in casting him. His character is the most logical to have as the star of a sequel (grown up of course) however he played him so badly and gay-ly that it would be impossible to imagine him growing up to be atall cool or heroic.
Obviously he wasn't supposed to be little Maximus Jr. He didn't even have to be likable. He was a spoiled little Emperors nephew. However there's no chance of having a sequel probably because the route of continuing the story with a grown up Lucious is nixed due to his fruity ass performance.
