Ridley Scott has begun to develop a sequel to Gladiator.

 

According to Deadline, the director is set to take on the project for Paramount with a script to be written by Peter Craig, whose credits include The Town and the forthcoming sequel Top Gun: Maverick.

 

The story will reportedly focus on Lucius, the son of Lucilla, played by Connie Nielsen in the 2000 original.

 

Lucius was also the nephew of Commodus, played by Joaquin Phoenix, who killed Russell Crowe’s Maximus at the end of the film.

I cringe every time I hear they are doing a sequel or prequel to a great movie. will gladiator go the same way as star wars, oceans 11, and ghostbusters. and will us white guys get blamed for it?

Didn't need to tell the ending of the movie; thumbs down on that part.

I sure hope that Scott doesn't do what he did to Robin Hood and make what should be a great movie an utter, complete piece of <deleted>.

Scott has made some of the best ever movies ( Alien ), but lately he seems to be losing it.
