BBC One’s Gladiators, one of the most exhilarating and energetic TV shows, is ready for a stunning comeback! A new lineup has been announced, and one of the cast, Viper, is doubtlessly one to watch out for.
Famed to attack with power and precision like a viper, Viper vows to devour any contender that comes his way. He has a conspicuous muscular physique that contenders may find intimidating, and claims he was born to be a Gladiator.
Quang Luong was introduced as a Gladiator in 2023 and has since taken his place among the Gladiator stars. He stands out as a villain in the show with his excellent demonstration of precision and speed, so he uses the name Viper.
While many believe that Viper is a modern version of the show’s original villain, Wolf, brought to life by Michael van Wijk, Quang has named the iconic superstar Bruce Lee his idol. He claims to have been highly inspired by Bruce Lee and declares his aim to be a stronger version of his model.
