After a first image, Gladiator 2 continues to reveal itself with amazing information. A crazy film? Yes, if some opinions after the private broadcast of the trailer are to be believed.
Production on Gladiator 2 didn’t go entirely smoothly due to Hollywood’s actors and writers strike, but filming was able to resume earlier this year… and was completed immediately. Therefore, unless Paramount Pictures needs to review its schedule internally, the sequel to Ridley Scott’s cult film will be in theaters on November 22, 2024… in the United States. We are still waiting for the French release date, which may be announced in the trailer during a major event.
Opinions and information about the first trailer for Gladiator 2
For three days, Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip welcomed all the big stars of the film industry, as well as journalists, to CinemaCon. And for several hours everyone has been talking about nothing else and sharing their impressions in trailers that are not yet online. Below we find the trailer Gladiator 2. Did you like the first parts of the sequel to Ridley Scott’s legendary film? Yes, apparently a lot. “Well, the first trailer for Gladiator 2 is the best thing I’ve seen from CinemaCom so far. It’s every bit as epic and bloody as you’d expect. It’s just huge.” explains the journalist from Gizmondo and io9 Germain Lussier.
So much for his opinion on what he saw, but others have directly detailed all the elements included in the first Gladiator 2 trailer, and you’re not ready yet. We see actor Paul Mescal playing the role of Lucius (Spencer Treat Clark), the son of Maximus (Russell Crowe) and Connie Nielsen (Lucilla). However, little Lucius has now grown up, distanced himself from his heritage and transformed into a gladiator. Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us series) is an army general with a sharp physique who will also be forced to amuse the Romans by throwing himself into the arena. A punishment for wanting to stop sending men to war.
A first official picture
The Gladiator 2 trailer reveals a confrontation between the two and even more unlikely encounters with a horde of monkeys, a rhino… and sharks. Well, put like that, it’s very scary, but we believe that animals are not direct enemies… Finally, there is Denzel Washington, who is plotting behind Rome’s back and blurts out a rather ambiguous sentence. “Rome must fall. I just have to give a little push. (above diversity).
Before the event, we were also able to see a first image with the Gladiator 2 logo and a phrase on a sign. “What we do in life resonates throughout eternity.”. A line from Maximus… repeated by Lucius or through a flashback? The mystery remains. His mother Lucilla, played by Connie Nielsen, is also in the cast of this sequel, set 20 years later.
