The fact that Denzel Washington is excellent is not the main surprise in Gladiator II. Rather, it's how important his character Macrinus is to the eagerly anticipated follow-up, which stars Paul Mescal as the heir to Russell Crowe's legendary Maximus. In the sequel, Mescal's character, Lucius—the grandson of an emperor and the son of a legendary warrior—steps into his destiny. However, Macrinus from Washington is the one who advances Gladiator II.

Those who are abducted as slaves are made to fight in front of an audience in an arena with the dire consequences of killing or dying. Washington told NBC News that his ultimate goal is to conquer the entire world. Macrinus leans i...

The Australian government said on Friday that the first emperor penguin discovered in the country has been released following 20 days under the care of a wildlife specialist. According to the state's Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, the bird, known by its caretaker as Gus, was released from a boat off the southern coast of Western Australia on Wednesday morning.
