Exclusive: Paul 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.
The 26-year-old Mescal has signed on to star in Gladiator 2 as Lucius Versus, son of Connie Nielsen’s Lucille and nephew of insanely jealous Commodus (played by Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator).
Mescal will now move into the Phoenix with Patsy Ferran,...

Exclusive: Life is literally a Cabaret for Aimee Lou Wood, star of Netflix comedy Sex Education and awards season movie Living, who is rehearsing to make her West End musical debut as Sally Bowles in the radical revival of the classic show by John Kander and Fred Ebb.
Wood joins John McCrea, who was the original Jamie in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at The Sheffield Crucible and in London, and is taking on the role of the Emcee.
They begin their performances in director Rebecca Frecknall’s production of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, Charing Cross from February 13.
Wood says that she suffered from stage fright when she was a kid — “shyness and fear” stopped her from performing. “I couldn’t get up and sing in front of anyone,” she recalls. That was until she hit 16 and picked Maybe This Time, a number from Cabaret, to perform during...
