POP Maximus (Gladiator)

Maximus is the main character in the film Gladiator directed by Ridley Scott. Interpreted by Russell Crowe, Maximus Deciums Meridius is a Roman general at the head of the armies of the North, and faithful servant of the emperor Marcus Aurelius.

Maximus is brave, loyal and strong. He has no other ambition than to serve Marcus Aurelius and return to live peacefully with his wife and 8-year-old son in his Spanish province. Following one of the last great military victories, Marcus Aurelius, who is old and dying, tells Maximus that he wishes to entrust his powers to him upon his death. Maximus will have to reign on the Roman empire with a view then to entrust the power to the Senate to make Rome a republic.

When Marcus Aurelius announces his decision to his son Commodus, the latter is devastated. He understands that he is losing everything: his father's love and power. Commodus suffocates his father and takes power by succeeding him.

Refusing to serve the one he considers an impostor, Maximus is condemned to death but manages to escape his executioners. He goes as quickly as possible to his home but arrives too late and discovers the bodies of his wife and son, executed by the new emperor's others ...

When Maximus is captured by a slave trader, he is sold to Proximo, who trains gladiators. Maximus then feeds his revenge and will do everything to confront Convenient in the imposing Colosseum.

Driving Commodus mad, Maximus will have it all: the love of the people, the glory, the support of Commodus's own sister and the status of savior of Rome. The last fight in the Colosseum will oppose the two men: the Emperor Commodus facing the gladiator Maximus.

Maximus' Funko POP represents the Roman general as he became a simple slave and then a gladiator. On the figurine, we find Maximus dressed as a gladiator recognizable by the blue blouse he wears under his armor. This simple blouse is enough to qualify Maximus as a slave.

The gladiator wears leather straps and hand protection. He holds his sword in his right hand and the figure's posture on the POP is evidence that Maximus has just won a fight. He seems to be addressing the plebeians sitting in the arena and questioning them about the meaning of all these killings ...

The POP of Maximus is faithful to the character where one recognizes perfectly the physical features of the actor Russell Crowe with his tousled chestnut hair, his beard collar and of course his imposing musculature.
