Neither Rome nor Milan: this is the spectacular European stage where 'Gladiator 2' has been filmed.

There are still a few months left until its premiere in theaters, but nothing else is being talked about. Gladiator 2 promises to live up to its predecessor and give us a new phenomenon at the box office. It could even try to replicate the outcome of Barbie and Oppenheimer, as another highly anticipated movie of the season also arrives on the same day .

The long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott's film starring Russell Crowe premieres twenty-four years after the first movie and features Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal in the main cast. Alongside them, the cast of the feature film - which premieres in theaters on November 22 - also includes Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Joseph Quinn, and Fred Hechinger.

Written by David Scarpa based on a story he created with Peter Craig, the sequelto Gladiator takes place years after the original movie. Years after witnessing the death of the beloved hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after witnessing the conquest of his home by the tyrannical emperors who rule Rome with an iron fist.

With a heart overflowing with fury and the future of the empire at stake, Lucius must recall his past in search of the strength and honor that will restore the lost glory of Rome to the people.

Douglas Wick, Scott, Lucy Fisher, Michael Pruss, and David Franzoni are the producers of the film, while Walter Parkes, Laurie MacDonald, Raymond Kirk, and Aidan Elliott serve as executive producers.
