Kel Varnsen July 21, 2024 Share July 21, 2024 Looks good. Although I am disappointed they didn't call it "Gladiators" since it should be obvious that when making the sequel to a Ridley Scott movie changing the title from a singular word to a plural word is a guarantee of a hit. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148578-gladiator-ii-2024/#findComment-8416862

baldryanr September 24, 2024 Share September 24, 2024 In the first film he's named after his official father, Lucius Verus. Fun fact, the real Lucius Verus was co-emperor of Rome and adopted brother of Marcus Aurelius. Since Maximus and Lucilla were exes, I guess he was conceived around the time they broke up and she didn't want her son to be considered a bastard. Or she had an affair. I always had the impression that Commodus had been trying to sleep with Lucilla for years but she had always been able to hold him off. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148578-gladiator-ii-2024/#findComment-8464157

Avabelle November 20, 2024 Share November 20, 2024 When is this out in the US? I saw it today in Ireland and dying to discuss it. Was it ever stated explicitly that Lucious was Maximus son? I feel it’s being stated as fact but I always thought he was a legitimate son of Lucilla and her late husband before the first film. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148578-gladiator-ii-2024/#findComment-8513214
Morrigan2575 November 20, 2024 Share November 20, 2024 It releases tomorrow. I don't think it was ever stated but, it was certainly hinted at that Maximus and Lucilla had a thing for each other. It's probably a retcon but it doesn't destroy the lore. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148578-gladiator-ii-2024/#findComment-8513266
Avabelle November 21, 2024 Share November 21, 2024 The history between Lucilla/Maximus I remember being a big part of the film I just don’t think Lucious being his son was ever stated or even a potential plot point. Probably as it would have taken the impact out of his wife and son being murdered at the start of the film. Agree though it doesn’t take away from it too much. Just if you’ve watched it the original recently its probably jarring to see Lucilla go from clearly being in love with Maximus but Lucious as his son never being mentioned to her stating Maximus is the father like it’s a well known fact. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148578-gladiator-ii-2024/#findComment-8513603

Ridley Scott's swords-and-sandals sequel has already amassed $221 million globally, $15 million higher than the Joker sequel's feeble $206 million. * * * Although there's plenty to like in the Gladiator sequel, from breathtaking action sequences to smart political theming, there's not a soul who left their screening that didn't gush over the performance of Denzel Washington as Macrinus. Based on the real historical figure, Macrinus is a former slave owner with a dream of one day finding revenge by controlling Rome and delivering bloody punishment. Caught up in this evil plan as his prized possession is Paul Mescal's Lucius, with Washington easily delivering almost all the movie's most memorable moments. Because of this colossal performance, Washington is already being touted as a strong contender for the Best Supporting Actor award at next year's Oscars. ....

Although to be fair his run of great performances in the late 90's-early 2000's is pretty hard to beat. The action was good although the sharks were a bit corny.
