Joseph Quinn has admitted to feeling "nervous" about the upcoming 'Gladiator' sequel.
The 'Stranger Things' s ensation, who is set to portray Emperor Caracalla in Sir Ridley Scott's much-anticipated 'Gladiator II', confessed he hasn't yet seen the full movie but has caught glimpses that suggest it honours the original while carving out its own legacy.
Speaking to Variety, he said: "I haven't seen a cut of it. I've seen little moments of footage, and it looks like everything that you could possibly want. It's paying homage to the first film, but very much making it's its own thing. There's some fantastic performances in it. And I'm very much looking forward to people seeing it - if not a little nervous about it."
Quinn is also gearing up for his role as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, in 'The Fantastic Four'. He shared how he got tips from 'A Quiet Place: Day One' colleague Lupita Nyong'o, who brought Nakia to life in Marvel's 'Black Panther' saga. He recounted her advice: "She told me that it was an experience that I could very much look forward to... She told me to be open-minded and just to commit very hard."
Moreover, Joseph has previously mentioned that working alongside Lupita was a key factor in his decision to join the project. Speaking to GQ UK, he said: "I learned a lot working with Lupita. The way that she conducts herself, just as a human being, as well as the choices she makes as an actor really informed whatever I thought I was doing. She's very discerning. By no means am I saying that I am, I just saw that in her. So I guess it was, at the risk of sounding a bit lofty, trying to give myself a little permission to be selective."
