Paramount has put out a brand new trailer for Gladiator 2, and it is perhaps a bit extra welcoming to those that don’t love to combine new with outdated.
When the primary trailer for Gladiator 2 launched again in July, I could not assist however snigger a bit bit on the truth it used Kanye West and Jay-Z’s No Church In The Wild. Clearly some govt mentioned “we simply gotta put it an enormous tune individuals recognise”, and that is what they landed on/ might get the rights to. Silliness apart, it did no less than appear to be a kind of blockbusters of outdated, earlier than the times of Marvel, and now yesterday Paramount launched the movie’s second trailer which feels a bit extra tonally applicable, even when it does now have some screaming, bloody apes that may in all probability give me nightmares. Oh, and, it ought to include a little bit of a spoiler warning, because it has a little bit of a significant reveal, so possibly do not watch it or learn on in the event you hate spoilers.
Alright, prepared for spoilers? So, because it seems, our important man Lucius Verus the second, performed by the very proficient Paul Mescal on this outing, is not truly the son of Lucius Verus the primary. Because it seems, Maximus, you understand, Russel Crowe within the first movie, is definitely his father. This in all probability will not be a large shock, this was calmly implied within the authentic Gladiator, however you’d assume that possibly that is one thing they’d save as a reveal once you truly sit down and watch the movie. A basic case of the entire film being within the trailer, I suppose.

In an interview with Leisure Weekly, Mescal spoke about this little twist, and when requested if he was shocked he mentioned “Oh, completely. I used to be like, ‘Holy s**t.'” He defined that it is “an affronting factor to see it written on the web page, and [to have] that accountability fall in your shoulders is attention-grabbing.”
Gladiator 2 is out in cinemas this coming November 22.
