Ridley Scott dares the comeback: Gladiator II brings new heroes!

Masafer Jatta, Westjordanland, Palästina - London (dpa) - an epic comeback! Almost 25 years after the sensational success of “Gladiator”, director Ridley Scott dares to return to the arena with “Gladiator II”. The focus is on the young slave Lucius, played by Paul Mescal, the son of the legendary Maximus, who was embodied in the first part of Russell Crowe. On the escape from the Roman soldiers, led by Marcus Acacius (Pedro Pascal), Lucius is kidnapped to Rome, where he has to fight as a gladiator for the unscrupulous Macrinus (Denzel Washington). A fight for revenge and freedom begins!

In Rome there are the cruel twin emperors Geta and Caracalla (Fred Hechinger and Joseph Quinn), who have no idea of Lucius' true identity. The young fighter is drawn into the bloody world of gladiators, where he will soon fight for more than his own revenge. The anticipation for this gripping adventure is huge, and the fans can hardly wait to experience the return of the gladiator!
