Ridley Scott is set to resume filming the highly anticipated sequel to Gladiator, revealing that work on the film will commence on December 4. Originally scheduled to start earlier, the project faced delays due to an actors’ strike called in July.
Gladiator 2 boasts an ensemble cast featuring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, and Pedro Pascal. Connie Nielsen and Derek Jacobi, who played roles in the 2000 original, will reprise their characters. Russell Crowe, the lead in the original film, will not return for the sequel as his character meets his demise in the first installment. Gladiator achieved immense success, both critically and commercially, earning an Oscar for Best Picture.
Ridley Scott, known for his prolific filmmaking, has been occupied with various projects. His recent film, Napoleon, starring Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role, premiered in theaters last week. The film has garnered attention, and you can find WION’s review of Napoleon for more details.
