Paul Mescal hosting Saturday Night Live this week? You just knew they were going to take a stab at Gladiator II.
Cue the faux trailer for Gladiator II: The Musical. Eager to cash in on the massive success of Wicked, the reimagining is a frantically reshot Gladiator II as a full-blown musical. Don’t worry, though, as the narrator reassures us: it’s still the same “violent, historical epic” you’ve been waiting for — just with an extra “50 minutes of songs.”
The real MVP here? SNL’s Bowen Yang, who gets to flex the fact that he’s involved in both Wicked and this satirical mash-up. Go get that coin, king.
