Ridley Scott Teases He’s “Already Toying” With ‘Gladiator 3’
Ahead of 'Gladiator II's Nov. 15 premiere, director Ridley Scott is already thinking about how to round out the trilogy.
Ahead of his long-awaited Gladiator II, which premieres Nov. 15 internationally and Nov. 22 in the US and Canada, the Oscar-nominated director recently teased that he’s looking to round out the trilogy with a future third installment. “The ending of Gladiator II is reminiscent of The Godfather, with Michael Corleone finding himself with a job he didn’t want, and wondering, ‘Now, Father, what do I do?’ So the next [film] will be about a man who doesn’t want to be where he is.” Gladiator II stars Paul Mescal as Lucius, who previously witnessed Maximus (portrayed in the original by Crowe) die at the hands of his uncle Commodus ( Joaquin Phoenix) in the first movie.
