Change page title to Gladiator II
editFirst promotional material is referring to this film as Gladiator II. I see somebody already changed the title in the lede. Here is a link to Twitter about promotional material at CinemaCon:

Who is the "Gladiator"?
editThe lead of Russell Crowe says "Crowe gained wider stardom for playing the title role in the period film Gladiator (2000), winning [...]". Assuming that is true, could we modify Gladiator (2000 film) § Cast to not just say "Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius" but also that he is the... Gladiator? Similarly, the lead of Gladiator II says "Mescal was hired in the lead". Assuming that is true, could we modify Gladiator II § Cast to not just say "Paul Mescal as Lucius Verus" but also that he is the... Gladiator? Maybe both are obvious to film buffs, but I scrolled to these Cast sections, and personally did expect to see "... as [the] Gladiator". He's mentioned first in the Cast section, so of course I'm guessing he is, but as it was the first time I saw his (Paul Mescal) name, I did feel the need to ask a search engine/AI if he is - which, I shouldn't have to; I think reading these Wikipedia pages should be enough for me to not feel the need to check elsewhere. --62.166.252.25 (talk) 16:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
