A sensational cast
The Gladiator 2 it will have an incredible cast, that’s for sure.

The sequel to Gladiator
Still no details released from Paramount on Gladiator 2despite the sequel’s release date being set at November 22, 2024. The expectations of the public and critics, as you can imagine, are very high, especially considering that Ridley Scott’s first film proved to be an incredible success, grossing $460 million at the box office and winning five Academy Awardsincluding Best Picture. The film, as everyone knows, sees Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Roman soldier forced into slavery who swears vengeance on Commodus, masterfully played by Joaquin Phoenix.
But since Maximus dies at the end of de Gladiatorthe sequel will be all about Lucius, the love child of Maximus, Lucilla, played by Connie Nielsen, who also reprises his role in the sequel. The screenplay will be written by David Scarpa, with direction once again going to Rdiley Scott, who will produce with Michael Pruss. Beyond these news, however, nothing is known yet Gladiator 2. We should therefore wait until 2024 before we really know what surprises Scott has in store for us.
