In 2000 director Ridley Scott brought the world the action-drama epic Gladiator starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix. The movie is fantastic and rightly won numerous awards during its run, but not one that you would think would get a sequel. Now 24 years later Ridley Scott is returning to the Colosseum for Gladiator II starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz, Derek Jacobi, with Connie Nielsen and Denzel Washington. 

​

There isn’t much in the way of a synopsis yet other than it follows Lucius, the son of Maximus's love Lucilla, after Maximus's death, that at least gives us a enough to make sense to how this sequel is going to work.

While you will have to wait until November 22nd to see the film in theaters, you can check out the new trailer and posters here now from Paramount.
