The new series will see contestants taking on a fresh cast of Gladiators in a mix of brand new games and classic challenges, including fan favourite obstacle course The Eliminator.<\/p>\n
One of the most beloved former Gladiators, Wolf (real name: Michael Van Wijk), spoke with this week\u2019s issue of Radio Times magazine<\/strong> and gave his verdict on the prospect of the reboot \u2013 saying he was \u201cpleased\u201d when he heard the news.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI\u2019ll be interested to see it \u2014 I live in New Zealand now so I\u2019ll have to watch it on YouTube. I\u2019m just a bit sad my son isn\u2019t taking part, which I would\u2019ve loved. He\u2019s a superb athlete and the spitting image of me. I thought it might add a nice layer to have Wolf\u2019s son.\u201d<\/p>\n When it was pointed out to Wolf that there\u2019s a Gladiator called Viper in the reboot, who has long hair and snarls at the crowd like he did, he said: \u201cA carbon copy! Well, somebody has to be the baddie. It\u2019s flattering; I guess they know how popular Wolf was.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Wolf also said he \u201cwouldn\u2019t mind\u201d a cameo in the show, adding that he could do it \u201ctomorrow\u201d as he still works out five days a week, \u201clifting weights with guys half my age\u201d.<\/p> ![\"Meet](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-06-01-at-12.21.00-7b6e6a8.png?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Meet")
