Will Gladiator 2 Be Able To Recapture The Magic Of The Original?
There’s Reason To Be Optimistic For Ridley Scott’s Sequel
The most celebrated rationality to be affirmative for the sequel is the return of Scott to the director ’s chair . In add-on to Russell Crowe ’s lead performance , Scott is apparently a major reason why the original film was and is so dear . That being said , despite directing some timeless classics , Scott ’s filmography has been passably all over the map in terms of caliber . Last year’sNapoleon , for example , was a minute of a misfire , even though it did sport some jaw - dropping action successiveness .
TheGladiator 2castis another reason to be affirmative . Mescal is very much a asterisk on the rising slope , and the upcoming sequel could cement him as a major fixture of Hollywood . Washington , too , one of the most venerable and famed actors of the last few decades , is poise to meet a major role in the film , as is Pascal as a key antagonist . Other notable headliner let in Joseph Quinn , Connie Nielsen , and Fred Hechinger .
prizefighter 2 ’s protagonist Lucius bears many similarities to Gladiator ’s Maximus , including a desire for revenge and scorn for the corrupt empire .
The preview affirms thatMaximus ' legacy will make for an crucial part in the sequelafter the emotionalGladiatorending . This will ultimately help to further connect the tale of the two pic , hopefully helping it to appeal to those who be intimate the original and enfranchisement newcomers alike . It remains unclear howGladiator 2will fare with audience , but the latest trailer edit certainly reinforces that it ’s one to look forward to .
