Witness war in the arena in the brand new trailer for ‘Gladiator II’
Sir Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II is far and away our most anticipated film of 2024, and a brand new trailer has swept forward, and we’re eager to witness this monumental historical epic up on the big screen!
This all-new trailer is packed full of dynamic action and sweeping character moments and gives a taste of the fight and fury that is to come as Sir Ridley Scott returns to the next chapter of this thrilling story. Following in Maximus’s legacy, a new hero arises from the sands of the Colosseum and sets Rome ablaze in a burning blaze of rebellion and revolution.
Watch the brand-new trailer for Gladiator II below:
Here’s the official synopsis:
Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honour to return the glory of Rome to its people.
This new trailer takes audiences right into the heart of the action of Gladiator II and finds rising Hollywood star Paul Mescal as Lucius, the estranged and lost son to Lucilla (Connie Nielson), the sister to the former emperor Commodus, who, after being thrown into war with Rome is taken prisoner at the hands of the Roman General Acacius (Pedro Pascal) and finds himself as a slave to the vindictive power broker Macrinus (Denzel Washington), who desires to use Lucius to his own ends to further his vendetta against a pair of degenerate and corrupt emperors, and to inspire a revolution in Rome.
It’s utterly epic stuff, and this new trailer throws audiences right into the heart of the action that finds Lucius battling the Roman Army, raging baboons, a mock naval battle, and facing down a charging rhino on the sands of the Colosseum. And all of it will cause your adrenaline to skyrocket, and you’ll be in an absolute fever pitch of excitement. I was especially impressed with the level of scale and scope that the new trailer showcased, and it’s clear that Sir Ridley Scott is holding nothing back in his desire to unleash a Roman epic of colossal height.
