Get unprecedented access to production, set design, characters, combat training, costumes, historical factchecking, film scoring and so much more. “The Making of Gladiator II” invites nostalgic fans and newcomers to the franchise continuation.
Rome wasn’t built in a day the first time around, so when Ridley Scott and his team recreated it a second time for this “Gladiator” sequel, they were intentional and ambitious, too. This time around, the saga continues with power, intrigue and vengeance. Years after the first movie ends, Lucius is forced to enter the Colosseum when his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. Filled with rage and fear for the Empire, he must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people.
The stellar cast is led by Paul Mescal as Lucius. He is accompanied by Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Connie Nielsen from the original film and Denzel Washington.
“Gladiator II” is in theaters on Nov. 22. Until then, tune in tonight, Nov. 18, to see how they recreated the world of Ancient Rome to continue telling this famous story. Watch “The Making of Gladiator II” at 10:30 p.m. ET.
