The details of Scott’s Gladiator sequel have been kept under wraps since it was announced. All that’s known about the feature is that it will star a powerful ensemble cast that includes the likes of Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, and others.
But the Gladiator sequel has been in development for more than two decades. Scott and his team agonized over a worthy successor to the original, drafting several possible storylines. In a previous version of the sequel, Scott had Crowe returning and reprising his character Maximus.
