Gladiator II 

This eagerly anticipated sequel to Ridley Scott’s iconic 2000 film returns audiences to ancient Rome’s grandeur and brutality.

The story follows Lucius (Paul Mescal), nephew of the fallen Emperor Commodus, who witnessed Maximus’s sacrifice in the Colosseum. To protect him from Rome’s corruption, Lucilla (Connie Nielsen) sent him to Numidia. However, when General Marcus Acacius (Pedro Pascal) invades, Lucius is captured and forced back to the gladiatorial arena.

Acclaimed director Ridley Scott returns, promising the same epic scale that made the original a classic. With fierce battles and political intrigue, Gladiator II is set to honour its predecessor while carving out its own place in cinematic history.

Sharpen your swords; the arena awaits once more!
