QuotePaul Mescal's Irish eyes are smiling, and doing a jig as well. Not only did he receive a first Oscar nomination Tuesday for his leading role in Aftersun, but Deadline can reveal that the acclaimed production of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, in which Mescal delivers an electrifying Stanley Kowalski, will transfer from a celebrated fringe theater in north London onto a West End stage.Thanks in part for the move is due to Ridley Scott and Paramount agreeing to shift the start date of the filmmaker's Gladiator 2, the sequel to 2000's epic starring Russell Crowe, which will now begin shooting roughly two weeks later than originally scheduled. A studio source has said no moves have been made yet.

QuoteContrary to rumors of gladiatorial sparring among Hollywood's leading men, Mescal says he did not have to audition for the lead role of adult Lucius, depicted in the original as the young nephew of Commodus, the Roman Emperor played by Joaquin Phoenix. He simply took a meeting with the 85-year-old directing legend in which Scott "discussed the parameters of the story. Then, after the fact, I was given a script," Mescal says. "And I'm so proud I get to make it. It's an intimidating feat. It's something I'm nervous about but something I feel like I can do."
