Gladiator 2 in the works – report

Ridley Scott has started work on a sequel to his 2000 epic Gladiator, according to reports.
The new film will centre upon Spencer Treat Clark’s Lucius character, the child of Connie Nielsen’s Lucilla in the original.
Russell Crowe, who picked up a Best Actor Oscar among the film’s five Academy Awards haul, is not expected to reprise his Maximus character, as he died at the end of the original, along with Joaquin Phoenix’s conniving Commodus – Lucius’ uncle.
According to Deadline, Scott is keen to direct the sequel, which will be written by Peter Craig, whose credits include The Town and two Hunger Games films, as well as the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick.
