#Hannolucius v Glyceo (gifs 4 to 7) is my Roman Empire

#I like how 'Hannolucius' looks like 'Hannolicius'

#Hannolicius is my new favourite adjective

Hannolucius on the ground and on his hands and knees <3 kicked, punched, tackled, and thrown pt 1

#In Australia, we have to wait until January 2026 for THoS to be released in cinemas.

#That's okay. I will enjoy the THoS press tour before September this year.

#Josh and Paul cuteness during the press tour - yes, please!

#A standing ovation. It's what they deserved.

Paul, I heard that there's a line in the script, something along the lines of Lucius has become Maximus. I'd love for you to take me to the day on set when you had to sort of film that note. What that line meant to you when you read it and and how you convey something like that as an actor.

"You convey it through the brilliance of how Ridley works visually, like you can't obviously morph into somebody you're not, but what I think the line is implying is that he is ready to step into a leadership role. The whole journey for Lucius in the film was going from an individual to a reluctant leader, so when he puts on Maximus's armour, you see that he is ready to step into his bloodline, his legacy and to leader the gladiators around him."

"That line is symbolic and spiritual. And to play it is subjective. There's no one single way to skin that. A different actor would go a totally different way with it. But I think what the screenplay means by that is that Lucius is finally stepping into his responsibility as a leader of these men. It’s a moment where he shifts his perspective from himself onto the greater responsibility of what's happening to Rome. That's how I interpreted that line. Up until that point, Lucius has just been driven by revenge. But that’s when he changes."
