Gladiator 2 Definitely Sounds Like It'll Make Up For Ridley Scott's $220M Napoleon Failure

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT More news about Gladiator 2 has been released, with the sequel definitely sounding like it will make up for Ridley Scott's $220 million Napoleon failure. Despite Ridley Scott being one of the most acclaimed filmmakers of all time, the director's track record isn't perfect, with Napoleon being a major recent blemish on his fantastic career.

According to CinemaCon 2024 attendees, the Gladiator 2 trailer heavily focused on Denzel Washington's character, who turns out to be a former slave with a grudge against the emperors of Rome. Because of this, Washington's character decides to recruit a gladiator named Lucius. Lucius is the nephew of Commodus who decides to renounce his nobility due to his idolization of Maximus in the original film.

Napoleon is a film that featured several massive action set pieces that consisted of war scenes and naval battles, with these being prominently featured in the film. Although Napoelon's $220 million failure wasn't due to epic scenes like these, they definitely played a role in ballooning the budget, with this being a fear that some have about Gladiator 2.
