The historical epic Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott, is regarded as a modern cinematic classic. The film is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time and became a literal and symbolic part of history because of the outstanding performances of Joaquin Phoenix and Russell Crowe. But no one really thought that a sequel would be made.

And yet, here we are. Gladiator II, which is scheduled for release on November 14, 2024, globally and on November 22, 2024, in the United States, is here, more than 20 years after the original film.

Oscar-nominee Paul Mescal is set to star in the movie and will play Lucius Verus, a character from the previous film, alongside Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington, who make up the film’s outstanding main cast.

Several trailers have been released so far, and the earliest reactions have praised the movie. Now, the first official reactions are in, and we are bringing you everything you need to know about the movie!

First of all, we are going to start off with the Rotten Tomatoes score. The official verdict is not in yet, but based on the first available reviews, the movie is going to be quite impressive:

And while the score will certainly change as more reviews arrive, a starting Fresh rating of 84% is certainly great, and the fans have something to look forward to. We don’t know how this is going to influence the box office, but it does seem that Gladiator II will be a strong hit and could, as predicted, be a major Oscar contender next year, which would be a triumphant comeback for Scott after a series of failed projects (like Napoleon and House of Gucci).

Now that we have given you a general outline, here are some of the individual reactions by our colleagues:
