Ridley Scott, maker of whatever movies he pleases, has said in a new interview that there will “certainly” be a Gladiator 3:

Ridley Scott and David Scarpa, who previously worked together on All the Money in the World and Napoleon, reteamed again for the sequel Gladiator II.

Movie reviewer Joshua Hill says 'Gladiator II' doesn't pick up the plot left by the original, 'Gladiator.' Ridley Scott directed both.

Gladiator II has been making headlines as part of its run through the 2024 movie schedule, and not all of them are pleasant. Case in point: a recent story involved cinematographer John Mathieson apparently calling director Ridley Scott “lazy” and accusing him of rushing the recent films of his output.
