“Gladiador 2”: new video shows never-before-seen scenes and behind-the-scenes footage from the recordings; look

A new video with never-before-seen footage and behind-the-scenes footage from the filming “Gladiator 2” was released this Tuesday (8). See below. The sequel to the award-winning 2000 film hits Brazilian cinemas on November 14th.

Part of the cast, such as Paul Mescal , Pedro Pascal , Denzel Washington , Connie Nielsen and Joseph Quinn and the director Ridley Scott appear in the registry. “Epic” and “biggest film I’ve ever been in” are some of the definitions given by the actors.

“Gladiator 2” is set 25 years after the events of the first film, in which Maximus (Russell Crowe), a powerful Roman general, awakens the wrath of Marcus Aurelius’s (Richard Harris) son, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), before the emperor’s death. When the heir takes power, he is sentenced to death, however, he manages to escape and goes into hiding as a slave and gladiator while seeking revenge.

The new plot centers on Lucius, son of Lucilla and nephew of Commodus, who was inspired by Maximus. In the first film, the character is a child, played by Spencer Treat Clark. Now, Paul Mescal (“Normal People” and “Aftersun”) brings the protagonist to life.

When he was still young, Lucilla sent him to the north coast of Africa, to a region called Numidia that was – at that time – beyond the reach of the Roman Empire. Older, he lives a relatively peaceful life with his wife and children until the conquerors of his homeland invade his new home, under the leadership of a general trained by Maximus.
