Gladiator 2’s Ridley Scott Just Made A Big Promise About The Action In The Film, And Now I’m Even More Pumped To See It

As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast with over two decades under my belt, I must say that the prospect of Gladiator 2 leaves me positively electrified! The return of Ridley Scott to direct this epic sequel, coupled with an all-star cast including Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington, has my anticipation reaching critical levels.


Look forward to a lot of excitement with the upcoming movie, “Gladiator 2”. Director Ridley Scott will once again take the helm for this eagerly awaited sequel, boasting an impressive ensemble including Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington. The buzz is already palpable, even more so after the unveiling of the first “Gladiator 2” trailer, hinting at spectacular fight scenes and costumes akin to the award-winning original movie. With Ridley Scott continuing to build anticipation for his upcoming project, I’m definitely counting the days!

In a recent chat with Empire, Scott spoke candidly about helming the sequel to Gladiator, which has been 20 years since its original release. He’s been tight-lipped about many aspects of the movie, but hinted at an action scene that he thinks surpasses anything he’s directed so far. The director expressed:

The movie opens with what is likely the most intense action scene I’ve been involved in, potentially surpassing any action from Napoleon.

In the secretive nature of its plot, details about the upcoming film “Gladiator 2” remain undisclosed. However, we have some insights regarding this sequel: It will take us back to the Colosseum, offering a spectacle of battles where Mescal and Pascal engage in mortal combat against an array of fierce animals. The story unfolds two decades after the original “Gladiator”, introducing a slave propelled into the arena by the legend of Maximus. Early sneak peeks of Mescal fighting a rhinoceros have sparked much discussion online. Kicking off with an expansive action sequence is a bold choice, and it promises to instantly captivate viewers.

Scott asserting that the beginning of “Gladiator 2” surpasses all other action sequences he’s directed so far is a bold declaration indeed. The action scenes in “Gladiator,” particularly the Battle of Zama, were masterfully orchestrated and captured on film, and the Battle of Austerlitz scene in “Napoleon” is another remarkable cinematic feat. Sequences from “Blade Runner,” “Kingdom of Heaven,” and even “Robin Hood” are contenders for the most epic Ridley Scott productions. Still, if the director himself believes “Gladiator 2” outshines them all, it’s a claim that warrants attention. This statement alone might generate excitement among movie enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the film’s release in 2024.

As a gamer, I can’t wait to experience the technological marvel that is Gladiator 2, according to Ridley Scott. The incredible strides in AI and CGI have opened up new possibilities for chaos and conflict within the Colosseum, something that would have been unimaginable with technology from the late ’90s. The rhino sequence, for instance, is a testament to these advancements, something Ridley himself seemed thrilled about while working on it. I’m eagerly anticipating how this technological leap will elevate the epic opening scene and make Gladiator 2 even more grandiose than its predecessor.

The initial footage of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2 is yet to be unveiled, but you’ll get a chance to watch the whole movie on November 22nd when it premieres in cinemas. Excitingly, enthusiasts can rewatch the original Gladiator featuring Russell Crowe right now by subscribing to Peacock.
