The second trailer for Ridley Scott‘s Gladiator II has just dropped from Paramount Pictures, and as expected, it’s still looking decidedly epic and like an off-the-scale experience.
Well, if you like that sort of thing, that is! There’s lots of new footage that gives you a little bit of a better idea about the story, and teases more of the stunning battle scenes – which, to be honest, is why most of us will be watching. And, there’s a rhino!
Here’s the official description:
Decades have passed and Lucius has come of age far away from his mother. While he was still a child, Lucilla sent him to the northern coast of Africa, to a region called Numidia that was (at that point) just outside the reach of the Roman Empire.
Gladiator II begins with Mescal’s Lucius living a peaceful life with his wife and child until conquerors from his homeland begin to encroach.
According to Scott: “The film begins with the raiding party of the Roman fleet, which comes in from the sea and decimates Numidia. It’s pretty gnarly.”
Check out the official trailer right here:
There’s also a really stunning new poster to go along with it.
And Gladiator II will be out on 22nd November! Contestants – Are you ready?! (Sorry, that’s a cheesy ’90s kid UK reference).
