Most film fans are probably skeptical when they hear the words “Gladiator II.” Do we really need a sequel to the Best Picture winner, Gladiator? Probably not, but after seeing the world debut of footage from the Ridley Scott film, maybe we don’t need it, but we still want it. Now.
The footage featured all manner of epic gladiatorial battles— man vs. man, group vs. group, man vs. rhino., group vs. sharks (yes, that’s real)—as well as the tease of some incredible stories involving Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and others. Truly, this one looks like a sequel worthy of the original and that’s saying something.
It was easily the most exciting thing we saw at CinemaCon 2024.
