The epic saga of ‘power, intrigue, and vengeance’ continues in Gladiator 2. The trailer to Ridley Scott’s 2000 film (of the same name) just dropped and we are so excited to be transported back to Ancient Rome for this legendary showdown! And no, Russel Crowe is not involved in the film.

Watch the trailer here:

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 honor to return the glory of Rome to its people.

The film stars Paul Mescal (as Lucius) and Pedro Pascal (as Marcus Acacius). It also features the talents of Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Fred Hechinger and Joseph Quinn.

Before you go…

I hope you enjoyed this trailer sneak peek – I wanted to share something light and fun with you all! I hope all my Cape Town readers are safe and warm: a terrible storm has been lashing the province this week. I have seen some shocking scenes in my mother city and it is heartbreaking. I shared some valuable links to charities and NGOs on the ground, helping the people who have been the most affected by the storm. Check it out here.
