Gladiator 2: The Movie That Almost Was

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

While Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR memorably ended with the death of Russell Crowe's iconic Maximus, that didn't stop Hollywood from trying to figure out a way to make a sequel, with Russell Crowe returning as its star. In fact, the great Nick Cave, following his success with THE PROPOSITION, was hired to pen a sequel, which he did involving Roman Gods, persecuted Christians and a return from the dead for old Maximus. While the film never did get made, it has a reputation for being one of the most intriguing sequels never made, and the project may not be dead yet. Get a whole rundown of this abandoned project here!
