Ridley Scott Is ‘Already Toying With the Idea’ for ‘Gladiator 3’: ‘Seriously! I’ve Lit the Fuse’
Ridley Scott is already toying with ideas for "Gladiator 3" ahead of the release of "Gladiator II," which revives his franchise after 24 years.
“Gladiator II” stars Paul Mescal as a grown-up Lucius, the son of Lucilla (Connie Nielsen) and the nephew of Commodus, the original film’s antagonist played by Joaquin Phoenix. The story picks up years later with Lucius now living in the northern African region of Numidia, where he was sent by his mother as a child as it was just outside the reach of the Roman Empire. Probably bigger than anything in ‘Napoleon.’” Although the filmmaker didn’t share too many details about the opening action sequence in “ Gladiator 2,” he did tease a moment where Mescal’s Lucius faces a rhinoceros in the Colosseum.
