The 'Gladiator 2' Set Looks Incredible in These New Aerial Photos Snapped in Malta!

A sequel to the 2000 blockbuster film Gladiator is in the works and we have some new photos from the set!

Russell Crowe will not be returning for the sequel, but director Ridley Scott will be leading the project once again. The Oscar-winning actor has responded to all the reports about the movie and explained why he thinks he should be paid despite not being in the film.

Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Connie Nielsen are among the actors who are confirmed for the movie so far.

Nothing is known yet about the plot, except that the film will follow Lucius, the son of Maximus’ love Lucilla, after Maximus’ death.

Aerial photos from the set (via TMZ) show what appears to be a replica of the Colosseum, which is being built in Malta.
