Paul Mescal in a gladiator costume

Ridley Scott is preparing the sequel to this great cinema classic. And we know who will play the grandson of Marcus Aurelius, heir to the throne. Along the way, the director also revealed some juicy information. Better, images of the main actor in costume have been revealed.

“The greatest action scenes ever made”: 24 years later, Gladiator 2 promises an epic spectacle

“Gladiator 2”, a sequel to the great classic released in 2000, will arrive on our screens on November 20. Will the film offer us “the greatest action scenes ever made?”

24 years after the first part, Gladiator will be entitled to a sequel, which will arrive on November 20, 2024. Ridley Scott himself was responsible for directing this second episode, convening a top-notch cast: Paul Mescal in a gladiator costume, together with Denzel Washington , Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, Derek Jacobi and Joseph Quinn.

In the fall of 2021, we learned of the return of Ridley Scott.

At 83, the director decided to re-attack a cinema juggernaut: Gladiator. A true classic of the big screen of the 2000s, the sequel is being prepared... Obviously, the late Maximus will not be there. But he will have a successor...

Not yet available on the Internet, the first trailer was unveiled at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.

We see the new Maximus fighting in the heart of the Colosseum filled with rhinos, bloodthirsty baboons and even Roman warships...

Since today, the first photos of Paul Mescal in a gladiator costume are visible on the web...

Paul Mescal will be Lucius, heir to the throne

Ridley Scott has set his sights on Paul Mescal. This Irish actor is known for his role in the series Normal People but he could explode his popularity with the proposal that was made to him.

According to the filmmaker, without this character the sequel would not have seen the light of day, as he explained to Total Film magazine.

"One day, we thought about the problem again, and we came up with a very obvious idea: There is a survivor at the end of the first film. And this survivor is the son of the union between Lucilla and Maximus!” this is the main reason to continue the greatest action scenes ever made.

Good news, Connie Nielsen will be back to play the former mistress of the previous hero played by Russell Crowe (who assured Deadline that he would not return in this second opus).
