Gladiator 2 is finally out in the UK – and we can't wait to return to the arena. Some 24 years ago, Ridley Scott's original Gladiator movie became a surprise box office hit – raking in hundreds of millions at the global box office – and becoming one of the best action movies of all time. But, despite the film's massive success, a sequel was never made... until now..
If you need a quick recap, the original film followed Russell Crowe's Maximus Decimus Meridius on a journey of revenge. And while he may not have had the happiest ending, now his son is following in his footsteps. Gladiator 2 was officially announced in 2018 and immediately became one of the most anticipated new movies of 2024.
