Will post some reactions here to the footage shown… by all accounts it to be a true blockbuster epic. My most anticipated movie of 2024.

Directed by Ridley Scott, written by David Scarpa, and stars Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, May Calamawy, Connie Nielsen, and Derek Jacobi, the last two reprising their roles.

First teaser for ‘GLADIATOR 2’ reveals Paul Mescal’s journey to becoming a gladiator, including facing off against a rhino. Pedro Pascal & Paul Mescal then face off, both very bloodied.

X Reaction Discussing Film
quote:

The first footage from #Gladiator2 is shown by Paramount at #CinemaCon: "I remember that day. I never forgot it. That a slave could take revenge against an emperor," says Paul Mescal's character. A boat battle is seen taking place in the Colosseum. Paul Mescal and other Gladiators fight vicious monkeys. "Rage is your gift," Denzel Washington tells Paul Mescal. Washington and Pedro Pascal watch on as Mescal fights a rhinoceros. The song "No Church in the Wild" plays. The footage ends with a brutal fight between Pedro Pascal and Paul Mescal.

‘GLADIATOR 2’ looks INSANE. #CinemaCon

X Hollywood Handle
quote:

I haven’t been excited for a Ridley Scott film in a while but Gladiator 2 looks absolutely bad arse. This looks epic in every sense of the word. Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington take center stage in the footage that was shown. Looks like a major awards player.

Not sure when the sequel takes place, but would love to see Djimon Hounsou reprise his role.

There were rumors he was but I think a scheduling conflict may have came up. Really want him in it.

Rundown on the film
quote:

#Gladiator2 details ?? • Set ~20 years after the first film • Paul Mescal plays a nobleman who has renounced his privilege and is inspired by Maximus • Has man-eating monkeys, a charging rhino, and sharks • Pedro Pascal plays a Roman general forced to become a gladiator after he wanted to stop sending men to war • Denzel Washington is a shadowy operator manipulating everything • Joseph Quinn is Emperor Caracalla • Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal face off in the arena

I wont be watching. The first one was perfect and the 3 main characters are not returning. No Proximo, no Commodus and no Maximus Decimus Meridius.


One of the greatest lines in movie history.

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

sounds like it could be good

one thing is for sure, they cant do a reboot of G1 since it ended with him being dead

so with some decent scripting, it should be a decent movie

I'm in the middle of the directors cut of G1.

This thing is kind of terrible plot wise. Lots of holes. I can't believe this thing won an Academy Award was everyone stoned?

there is a lot going on, all the time there is a lot going on, so you see things you missed with the first watch that you see when you rewatch it

i think when it came out it was very little in the way of any action movies to compete with it

This didn’t win anything.
The theatrical cut did.
