Gladiator 2 ending explained: Who dies? What happens to Lucius?

Gladiator 2.

24 years on from the original, Gladiator 2 has finally arrived on our screens. This time around, the Ridley Scott film follows Maximus' son Lucius, who we first meet living in Numidia. Following an invasion from the Roman Empire, he's brought to Rome where he trains to become a gladiator, and follow in his father's footsteps. Betrayal and secrets hide around every corner in the capital, as Lucius must try to survive on a mission of revenge.

The epic historical saga comes to an exhilarating conclusion, which not everyone makes it out of alive. However, you'd be forgiven for having a few lingering questions at the end of the two and a half hour movie. Well, that's where we come in. We've broken down everything you need to know about the third act of Scott's latest, including a breakdown of who survives and what the future holds for the world of Gladiator.
