SNL re-imagines Gladiator II as a musical

white man in mustache and beard smiles towards screen

Paul Mescal internet hosting Saturday Night time Reside this week? You simply knew they have been going to take a stab at Gladiator II.

Cue the fake trailer for Gladiator II: The Musical. Desirous to money in on the large success of Depraved, the reimagining is a frantically reshot Gladiator II as a full-blown musical. Don’t fear, although, because the narrator reassures us: it’s nonetheless the identical “violent, historic epic” you’ve been ready for — simply with an additional “50 minutes of songs.”

The true MVP right here? SNL’s Bowen Yang, who will get to flex the truth that he’s concerned in each Depraved and this satirical mash-up. Go get that coin, king.
