I know it’s rare for me to post a trailer for something that isn’t for a Star Wars film/series but this is a special case. Gladiator is one of my favorite movies so I was surprised to learn of a second film. I’ll admit it’s not a movie I thought needed a sequel because the other one was so great. However, after watching this trailer I’m feeling different. Check out the Gladiator 2 trailer.

It looks really good. I’m glad that Ridley Scott is back as the director. I also noticed Connie Nielsen is reprising her role as Lucilla and Paul Mescal will play her son, Lucius. The film appears to focus on Lucius several years after the death of Maximus.

It’s also exciting to see Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal are in the film. Hans Zimmer will not be back as the composter but Harry Gregson-Williams is a good choice.

What did you think of the trailer?
