Ridley Scott’s ‘Gladiator II’: Everything We Know So Far


Ridley Scott’s 'Gladiator II' film will step into the box office arena at the end of 2024.

The recent reset of Wicked’s release date has put Universal’s movie musical up against Gladiator II in a showdown, not unlike that of Barbie vs. Oppenheimer. Inspired by Russel Crowe’s Maximus, Lucius decides to become a gladiator and challenge the rule of Emperors Caracalla (Fred Hechinger) and Geta (Joseph Quinn). Lucius is the nephew of the late Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), who murdered his father Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) to take the throne in the first Gladiator(2000).
