About the movie
Ridley Scott directed this epic historical action drama, the sequel to his breakthrough film Gladiator, released in 2000. Paramount Pictures distributed the film, which features Paul Mescal in the lead role along with an ensemble cast comprising Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz, Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington.
In Gladiator II, Paul plays Lucius Verus Aurelius, son of Maximus from the 2000 epic saga. The story follows the exiled Prince of Rome, who becomes a prisoner of war and fights as a gladiator for Macrinus, a former slave who plots to overthrow the twin emperors Geta and Caracalla.
The movie received excellent ratings on Rotten Tomatoes as the critics gave it 71% and stated – “Echoing its predecessor while upping the bloodsport and camp, Gladiator II is an action extravaganza that derives much of its strength and honor from Denzel Washington’s scene-stealing performance..” The audience rating is higher than that, and it is a strong 82%.

Gladiator II registered the biggest international debut for director Ridley Scott, collecting $87 million. The movie collected $55.03 million during its opening weekend in North America. It has so far collected $171.5 million at the US box office and $284.4 million overseas.
