Ridley Scott’s bloody drama set in the heart of the Roman Empire is considered one of the greatest takes on the ancient world. While Gladiator may play fast and loose with historical facts, it offers a heart-breaking story, bigger-than-life characters, and a genuinely captivating spectacle (something Scott’s Napoleon movie failed to achieve).
Nearly twenty-five years after the film premiere, Scott will take viewers back to the sandy arenas of Rome. In Gladiator 2, we won’t see Russell Crowe or Joaquin Phoenix, stars of the original film. But don’t worry – they have worthy successors.
Paul Mescal will play Lucius, now grown-up nephew of Emperor Commodus from the original Gladiator. He will be accompanied by Pedro Pascal as General Marcus Acacius, Joseph Quinn as Emperor Geta, Fred Hechinger as Emperor Caracalla and Denzel Washington as Macrinus. Connie Nielsen will return as Lucius’ mother, Lucilla, while Derek Jacobi will again play Senator Gracchus.

When could Gladiator 2 tickets go on sale?
UK
The new Ridley Scott movie will premiere in the UK on Friday, 15 November 2024. The long-awaited film is already creating quite a buzz, so the tickets will likely be available for booking at least a month before the opening day.
US
Gladiator 2 will debut in the US on Friday, 22 November 2024. It will be one of the biggest premieres this fall, but not the only one. The movie will compete fiercely with Wicked, which will debut in cinemas on the same day.
According to Vanity Fair, it can create a situation similar to the Barbenheimer case when the same release date for Barbie and Oppenheimer pumps up the hype for both movies.
Without fail, the creators of the Gladiator 2 want to gain as much advantage as they can over their rivals. Thus, the tickets for Ridley Scott’s movie will probably go on sale several weeks before the film’s release.
We will keep you informed on the subject.
