‘Gladiator II’ Is Coming to Streaming: Here's How to Watch

A sequel that’s been in the making for over two decades, Gladiator II finally arrived in theaters on Nov. 22, to a thumbs up (not the dreaded thumbs down) from audiences. The story picks up 20 years after 2000’s Gladiator and centers around Lucius (Paul Mescal), the son of the first film’s protagonist Maximus (Russell Crowe), who follows in his father’s fighting footsteps as a gladiator.

The sequel raises the bar from the original, boasting epic battles amid shark-infested waters, edge-of-your-seat sword fights and heart-wrenching emotional wallops. It also adds some impressive talent to the cast with Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington joining Connie Nielsen, one of the few returning cast members from the original movie.
