In a 2018 interview while promoting All the Money in the World (2017), Christopher Plummer was asked if he had ever been approached by Ridley Scott before. Plummer said that following their collaboration on The Insider (1999), Russell Crowe kept asking Ridley to cast Plummer as Marcus Aurelius. In the end, Scott cast Richard Harris, who would develop a fond friendship with Russell Crowe, with Crowe even turning up unannounced for the unveiling of a statue of Harris in Kilkee, County Clare, Ireland. Coincidentally, Plummer had played Commodus to Alec Guinness's Marcus Aurelius in The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964).
