The countdown has begun for Gladiator 2, which is preparing to return to the silver screen with Ridley Scott’s signature. The first reactions have arrived to the sequel of the 5-time Oscar-winning Gladiator (2000).


OffScreenCentral’s Jillian Chilingerian said, “Start putting Denzel Washington’s name on the Oscar for best supporting actor for ‘Gladiator 2’ right away.” Scott Mantz called the film “an epic sequel” and noted that it featured “amazing action, incredible visual effects, and incredible performances.”
