As time passed, Scott’s plans were scrapped, with the Gladiator sequel instead looking to move past Maximus and focus on Connie Nielsen’s character Lucilla’s son, Lucius.
The promise of a sequel has now been given new life by one of the stars of the first movie, Connie Nielsen, who has recently expressed her interest.
Since then, there have been rumors about a supposed Gladiator 2 on and off for years, though nothing ever came of it.
It sounds like everyone is waiting on Ridley Scott, the director of the first Gladiator, to get his diary in order.
