We get our first look at the next Gladiator film set to release in theatres November 22nd. There is a stellar cast lined up for this and we are all hoping it can do justice to the original Gladiator movie.
The original “Gladiator” movie, released in 2000 and directed by Ridley Scott, achieved remarkable success both critically and commercially. Starring Russell Crowe as the iconic Maximus Decimus Meridius, the film captivated audiences with its epic storytelling, stunning visuals, and powerful performances. It grossed over $460 million worldwide and earned numerous accolades, including five Academy Awards, with Crowe winning Best Actor and the film itself taking home Best Picture. “Gladiator” revitalized the sword-and-sandal genre and left a lasting impact on cinema, solidifying its place as a modern classic.
Ridley Scott is taking to the helm and directing this next instalment, starring tarring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Joseph Quinn, and Fred Hechinger. Can they live up to the icon that was the first movie? We will have to wait and see. Catch the new trailer below:
