Some behind-the-scene videos and a photo from the set of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2 have surfaced online and they show off the massive set of the film and we also get a great look at the Coliseum, which is pretty damn huge. This set that was built for this movie is seriously impressive.
The film recently started shooting in Malta, located in the central Mediterranean between Sicily and the North African coast. It’s pretty cool to get a little behind-the-scenes glimpse at Scott’s vision for this movie being brought to life. It’s been pretty cool to be a part of this production and see all of this in person!
There’s also one video included that shows a little action as actor prep for a fight scene. The movie stars Paul Mescal as Lucius, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen will be back as Lucilla, and Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn will play Emperor Caracalla. Fred Hechinger (The White Lotus) will also play Emperor Geta.
The movie centers on Lucius, the son of Lucilla, and nephew of Commodus, the son of Roman leader Marcus Aurelius who murdered his father and seized the throne. Commodus met his downfall in the gladiator ring against Maximus, who despite being mortally wounded, took down the emperor before passing on to reunite with his family. Maximus had saved Lucius and his mother, leaving a lasting impact on the young boy.
The first movie was a masterpiece and it’s going to be hard to beat because the bar was set so high. But, maybe Scott will surprise us and deliver a great sequel that will be just as good as the first movie.
Paramount Pictures will release the film on November 22, 2024.
