by

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the news about Denzel Washington‘s gay kiss scene in Gladiator 2 has piqued my interest significantly. Having played countless roles in various genres throughout my career, this revelation adds an intriguing layer to the anticipation surrounding the film.

In more straightforward terms: Denzel Washington, the actor, discussed a scene involving a gay kiss for his upcoming film, Gladiator 2. However, this scene was cut during editing. The much-anticipated sequel also stars Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and others. Gladiator 2 is scheduled to release in U.S. theaters on November 22, 2024, and has garnered praise from critics.

Denzel Washington teases why his kiss got cut from Gladiator 2

The Oscar-winning actor has been going around on promotional tours along with the rest of his cast to promote Gladiator 2.

In a recent conversation with Gayety, Denzel Washington discussed a scene in which he shared a passionate kiss with another man, but this scene was ultimately removed from the final version of the film. He humorously commented, “I gave a man a proper kiss on the lips in the movie, but they decided to take it out – I think they weren’t ready for that just yet. I killed him shortly after. It was during ‘Gladiator,’ a kiss that sealed his fate.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve learned that the script for Gladiator 2 suggests that my favorite director Ridley Scott has cast our esteemed actor, Mr. Washington, in the role of Macrinus. From what I gather, this character is a master strategist who, intriguingly enough, boasts a past involving significant relationships with other gentlemen. This isn’t his first rodeo with Ridley, as they also worked together on American Gangster back in 2007. Gladiator 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the iconic film released in 2000, which boasted an illustrious cast headlined by Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix, among others. I can hardly wait!

Lately, Denzel Washington has suggested that he may be nearing retirement from acting. In an interview with Australia’s Today Show, he expressed, “I’m not sure how many more movies I’ll make. It won’t be too many. I want to explore new experiences.
