Get ready for an epic battle as Ridley Scott returns to Rome with the new trailer for Gladiator II. Over two decades after Russell Crowe’s Maximus stepped into the arena, the director is back with a new story that promises to be just as thrilling. This time, the focus is on Lucius, the son of Connie Nielsen’s Lucilla from the first film, played by Paul Mescal.
The trailer opens with a flashback to the first movie, with Lucius’ voiceover setting the scene. “I remember that day,” he says. “I never forgot it – that a slave could take revenge against an Emperor.” From there, we see Lucius, a slave, taken under the wing of Denzel Washington’s Macrinus and eventually sent into the arena as a weapon against cruel new Emperors Caracalla and Geta.
We get glimpses of Lucius coming up against Marcus Acacius, the army general whose blood he’s out for, as well as an actual rhino, in some immense-looking fight sequences. The trailer promises three minutes of pure gladiatorial adrenaline, indicating that even at 86, Scott can still deliver a film of truly epic proportions.
Gladiator II is in cinemas from 22 November. Don’t miss this epic battle on the big screen.
