Ridley Scott's 'Gladiator' sequel will focus on Commodus' nephew Lucius, but will it see the return of Russell Crowe?
The new movie will be directed by Scott himself, just like how he directed the original 2000 movie that won him an Oscar for best director
According to a recent report by Deadline, Sir Ridley Scott is apparently "going forward" on a sequel to his classic 2000 film Gladiator. The movie, which won five Oscars, saw Russell Crowe play the role of Maximus, a once-powerful Roman general forced to become a gladiator.
Crowe even got awarded for the character he played in the movie with the star receiving the best actor award for the highly coveted role. The movie, which revived the historical epic film genre and made Crowe a star, unfortunately, ended on a sad note, as Crowe's character suffered an excruciating death.
