Gladiator 2: Ridley Scott “amazed” the studio bosses



Gladiator 2 : a film that promises

Gladiator 2 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of the year. Twenty-four years later Gladiator (2000), this sequel was unexpected. But Ridley Scott seems to still have something to do with it Massimo’s universe. For many months we followed the progress of the filming. And the information about it has caused some excitement to grow around this project. Whether it’s the construction of a huge Colosseum, the promise of a legendary action scene or even Paul Mescal’s intense training.

The latter will also play the lead role in the film. That of Lucius, the son of Lucilia (Connie Nielsen). Alongside them we will find Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal Fred Hechinger and Joseph Quinn in the roles of emperors Geta and Caracalla. As a reminder, Gladiator 2 is supposed to tell the story of these two brothers who inherited the Roman Empire and ruled together for a short time before the elder had his brother murdered.

Ridley Scott will impress

So for the moment there is only positive feedback regarding the production of Gladiator 2 (except for an explosion at the beginning of filming). Filming recently finished, we can therefore hope to see the first images of the film soon. But as we can imagine, the producers have obviously already had a glimpse of what Ridley Scott will offer.

This is what we learn from an article Expiration dedicated to an upcoming project by the director. The American media say so, according to their sources the first images amazed the leaders from Paramount. This would therefore be one of the reasons why the studio would intend to entrust him with another film as soon as possible.
