Ridley Scott’s comments are not confirmation that Gladiator 3 There is already studio approval. However, they make it clear that the director wants to be prepared in case Paramount Pictures decides to greenlight a new sequel.
At the moment it is unknown what could have been the impetus for Gladiator 3 get the green light. Will the decision be related to commercial activities? Gladiator 2which will be released in November? It’s impossible to know for now, but what’s interesting is that Ridley Scott clearly believes there are many more stories to be told in this universe.
Regarding the script Gladiator 3the Briton indicated that he had written several pages so far. However, this starting point will be very convincing. “I already have 8 pages. I have the beginning of a very good imprint”– Ridley Scott explained.
While the director avoided going into detail on the matter, he did hint that the battle arena at the Roman Colosseum could once again play a crucial role in the plot. “If it were done Gladiator 3I don’t think you want to go back to the arena.

Ridley Scott’s ideas Gladiator 3
Ridley Scott spoke for the first time about Gladiator 3 in September in an interview with French media Premiere. Then the director admitted that he was “toying with the idea” of the third part of the saga, which surprised everyone. Let’s keep in mind that between the original film and Gladiator 2 It would take more than 20 years to complete, so no one expected that a possible next film would even be discussed.
“End Gladiator 2 reminds me of Godfatherwhere Michael Corleone finds himself in a job he doesn’t want and wonders, “What now, father, what should I do?” So the next film will be about a man who doesn’t want to be where he is,” he explained at the time. His comments did not go unnoticed and even sparked all sorts of speculation about who the man might be. In particular, if it could be a continuation of the story of Lucio, Paul Mescal’s character in Gladiator 2or if he had focused on another significant figure.
Mescal himself admitted that Ridley Scott he told her about his plans For Gladiator 3but it was best not to get ahead of the facts. “I’m waiting to see what happens, but of course I’m interested. But there’s no need to rush anything, the story should take its course,” said the actor.
It would not be strange that implementation or not Gladiator 3 depends largely on how the second film receives. Gladiator 2 will be released next November 15with a cast that includes Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen and Denzel Washington as standouts.
