Great casting, but weird that they're listing him as the "star" since Maximus the Mad is a villain. Maybe outlets just approaching it that way because he was cast first? Unless they do an (ironically) Game of Thrones style approach where no one character is the "hero".
But yeah, the most punchable character from Game of Thrones as Maximus is perfect casting. He even looks like some drawings of him.
Kinda. IMAX is co-financing/all episodes are shot in IMAX. First two episodes will be a worldwide theatrical release in every IMAX theater, then airs on ABC regularly.
