Russell Crowe Cast in The Last Druid

Russell Crowe is set to star in 'The Last Druid', a movie about a Celtic elder who must defend his people from a Roman Emperor discovering a Druid stronghold in Caledonia. Directed by Will Eubank, the film is a return for Crowe to the theme of battling the Roman Empire, reminiscent of his Oscar-winning role in 'Gladiator' nearly 25 years ago. While Crowe will not appear in the upcoming 'Gladiator II' due to his character's death, he has expressed mixed feelings about the sequel. The film is in the early stages of production, with additional casting underway and sales being launched at the American Film Market. Crowe's recent projects also include roles in 'Kraven the Hunter' and 'Nuremberg'. The movie promises to explore Celtic culture amidst the backdrop of Roman imperialism, with a focus on historical accuracy.
