The trailer has even spoiled that this will build to a climactic showdown in the arena.
So far, its more or less the same story as the original film.
Gladiator 2is scripted byNapoleonwriter David Scarpa.
After exacting his vengeance, Maximus finally found peace.
Forcing Lucius to accept his destiny and reluctantly take on this responsibility is much more poetic.
Lucius has to take on the very thing he ran away from.
Lucius is taking on a similar role to Maximus.
Hes the hero whos taken from his family and forced into a life as a gladiator.
Gladiator 2 is the follow-up to Ridley Scott’s award-winning film Gladiator from 2000. Scott returns to direct the sequel, with Paul Mescal staring as Lucius, alongside Denzel Washington and Joseph Quinn as the villain Emperor Geta. Gladiator 2 had been stuck in development hell for years before a script written by David Scarpa finally moved forward.
