Yeah, that’s the point.

Huh. Gladiator 2.

How... How are they supposed to make that work? Is it going to be like the Final Fantasy games? Or is it more of a God of War type thing?

I think it'll be set around 20-30 years later and be centered around lucilius (Commodus nephew who was a child in the first).

I think they'll do a relatively grounded movie, but there were already plans for a sequel after first one got made that seemed a bit insane. The script for that one was made by nick cave and was definitely quite different. You can search for the plot (it had maximus go to purgatory, get resurrected and fight in all kind of future wars among other things)

Insane? That version sounds awesome! I miss having balls-to-the-wall insane movies. The super grounded and pseudo-profound style used in everything isthe gritty reboot of today.

It’s a movie, not a game.

Confusing because it’s coming from gamesradar.

I know it's a movie. I'm not confused by the source.

I'm confused by the ending of the first movie and the number 2.
