You cast him in the first place! And The Dog Stars was a colossal bomb, so Paul dodged a bullet there

The premise of Paul not being masculine enough, and then dropping him to cast Elordi who is just tall and performative, is laughable to me to say the least

This man needs to retire

Him saying this as if he didn't personally choose Mescal.

People do the absolute most about Paul's performance anyhow. I thought he was fine and I can't really think of anyone who we could say for sure would've been better. The real problem was the screenplay and that's an issue no matter who you cast.

Not until I get that Prometheus sequel

Give it up, grandpa.

He needs to accept he's no longer a good director.

He almost botched House of Gucci too, but Gaga was such a phenomenal actress that she basically carried the whole movie and saved it from completely flopping.

He's a mess.

It was cute and forgettable. Just like the first just like Spartacus

Meanwhile he looks like those old closeted men who pays to to see your feet and used jock straps..

Paul being miscast was the least of that movie's problems. But miscast he was, yes

Ridley Scott being a bitter old man, what else is new?

Isn't his new movie a panned bomb? Is he gonna blame Jacob Elordi for that? The truth is Ridley Scott is beyond washed up.

Studios need to get rid of relics like him instead of wasting $100M+ budgets on them in order to keep churning out flops. And now he's ******* with the Alien franchise too. I cannot stand this old fucker.

Paul is a known tote bag wearing, matcha latte sipping sissy who is too scared to tell women he is emotionally unavailable and runs away from dates with bent wrists….. So it's no one's fault but Ridley's for not clocking his tea.

Paul Mescal is literally the male Dakota Johnson, a one-note actor. "Gladiator II" didn't FLOP because Mescal wasn't "masculine enough," it FLOPPED because "Gladiator" didn't need a sequel (and Ridley Scott should have realized that as a director) and it FLOPPED because Mescal is an absolute BORE of an actor.

Aren't you the director bro? 😭

Like who's fault is that

He didn't lie, all these new Hollywood males severely lack testosterone

blaming anything and anyone but himself lmao

oh to have the ego of a fat old ugly white man in america they're really something else

Paul > Jacob btw

Ridley Scott you're a ******* hack

Midley dropped him from Dog Stars and said lemme save your career

This is 100% sabotage for the james bond role so they can take him out of consideration .

The timing is BEYOND transparent.

He doesn't like Alien Romulus, which is better than a majority of the Alien films he worked on. All of his recent films were either critically panned, box office flops, or a combination of the two with the expectation of one or two films. Maybe it's time to partner with younger directors or even retire.

What is it with your obsession with Dakota Johnson ?!
