12 Jul - Paul Mescal hopes to see another battle between two different genres to happen this year as his movie, "Gladiator II" shares the same release date as the adaptation of the Broadway musical, "Wicked".

The actor, who stars in the upcoming Ridley Scott film, stated that he hopes that the two movies will be the "sequel to Barbenheimer", referring to the moniker given by netizens for Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" and Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer", which were released at the same time last year.

Giving it the name "Glick", Mescal told Entertainment Tonight, "Wickdiator doesn't really roll off the tongue does it? I think my preference would probably be Glicked if it has a similar effect to what it did for Barbie and Oppenheimer."

"It would be amazing because I think the films couldn't be more polar opposites and it worked in that context previously. So, fingers crossed people come out and see both films on opening weekend," he added.

"Gladiator II", which is the sequel to the 2000 Russell Crowe-starrer and stars Mescal as Lucius, the son of Lucilla. Meanwhile, "Wicked", which is a movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the leads.

Both will be released on 22 November.
