the ting is i dont belive Pedro is gonna be an "evil" antagonist, probably more of a sympathetic. For what the trailer has show i imagine he is more of a general doing horrible things under the orders of terrible leaders, almost a mirror of what Maximus would have being if he fall in line with Comodo instead of againg him
The way I see it, imagine if the first movie followed one of the German barbarians from the opening battle as he was enslaved and forced to be a Gladiator and Maximus was the main antagonist.
@jenisedai In a recent interview she says that Lucilla was married to her adopted uncle at 16 years, so it would not be unheard of that she fell in love with Maximus when he was a young lieutenant, but couldn't marry him because she was the emporers daughter.
the Romans flooded the Colosseum to stage mock naval battles, known as naumachiae. These events were a grand finale to the Colosseum's regular programming of gladiator fights, animal fights, and chariot races.
We never knew whose son Lucius was in Gladiator. Clearly there'd been a connection between Maximus and his mother, but it was never said it was his son and in a way I don't love this new info, as the heart of Gladiator is Maximus's love for his wife and son. This story didn't need Lucius to be his son.
No , he very clearly said in the scene where he and Maximus first meet. “Your name is Lucius?” “Lucius verus. After my father.” And in the real history, Lucius verus and Marcus Aurelius were joint ruling
Yeah the boy who played Lucius looked about 3ish years older than the boy who played the son we knew Maximus had. So it could have been from an affair before he got with his wife.
It's not that difficult. It's implied in the first film Maximus and Lucilla had a fling before he married. It's implied that's his son in the original, that he didn't know about. Luscious was probably sneaked out after the events of gladiator and brought up as a commoner. He knows Lucilla is his mum but doesn't know who his dad was.
why would lucius have to be sneaked out after gladiator? in the end the emperor dies and the senate gets the power back like Marcus Aurelius and Maximus wanted. His mom was also on the senators side so they wouldnt be against her son?
This film looks epic and Ridley Scott has said that he is already planning a sequel and that this film has a Godfather-like ending. So I hope this film is a success so that the studio can greenlight the next film.
About Lucious: Maximus and Lucilla were romanticly involved when they were younger and though they did not and could not stay together they obviously had a relationship. Lucious could easily be Maximus' son she just didn't reveal it.
Maximus is not Lucius Verus father. Because in Ancient Rome, you name your first son after the father. Lucius Verus was co-emperor to Marcus Aerulius and Marcus married off his daughter to Verus they had many daughters that died and one son which would be Lucius but he die when he was a young boy. But in Scott fashion he changed history for the entertainment aspect.
The plot seems to be a little over complicated. A dude is a soldier who is taken prisoner but also the unknown bastard son of Maximus (unknown to him) and the owner of the gladiators is also attempting to overthrow the government to become emperor himself. There's too much going on.
if you guys are doing "scary month", i highly suggest the korean series "Kingdom" and "Kingdom: Ashin of the North" its about damn time we start that and get deeper to the k-series
I had to look it up and it says online that Maximus and Lucilla did have a past relationship when they were young and before Maximus was married. So maybe the kid in the 1st movie is the child of Maximus from that past relationship and that’s why in this trailer lucilla tells him Maximus his is father.
Looks great. Not sure how I feel about Lucius being confirmed as Maximus’ son (especially in a trailer), but maybe I’ll vibe with it by the end of the film. I’m not gonna sit here and condemn the writing and story of a film not yet released (a lesson some people could learn).
Videos like these really need Rick’s presence so he can give these casuals some context on the history. In any case, I like how Pascal’s monologue coinciding with who I am assuming is the emperor Caracalla saying “you will be forgotten!” Caracalla invoking Damnatio memoriae on his brother? The flooding of the colosseum actually happened just not as often in the Flavian amphitheater in Rome itself, but in other specific arenas … also not at that point in the empire when they’re clearly setting this. A few generations after Marcus Aurelius, commodus and septimius Severus and in the reign of Caracalla and geta. That spectacle was called naumachiaw
Since when is he Maximus' kid? Whatever...I'll still check it out....This and Wicked opening day one is this our new Barbenheimer - or as I called it "Gladwick"???
@@supersuede6493Yes exactly. As a history buff and history film lover, I’m always desiring anything. Absolutely anything from history to be in cinema. My dream is for each topic in history to eventually be covered. Like I’m so excited there’s going to be a film coming up about William the Conqueror. I’m dying for an Alexander the Great treatment. A Punic wars mega series. The Spanish empire. The Inca. An Aztec empire series. Far more shows and films about the American civil war. China. But especially Rome and Greece. The list goes on and on. There’s really very little cinema and tv made about Rome especially when you compare the quantity of shows and films with what’s been made about say the Second World War. Trust me, I watch a lot of history cinema so I know the quantity isn’t large. I’m also a huge Ridley fan so I support sir Ridley in any venture he pursues. I’ve literally seen every film he’s made apart from his first short.
@@supersuede6493Roman Empire historical period for me. We're also going to be the first people since the Romans themselves to see the arena naval battles brought to life.
Brothers and sisters, ladies and gentlemen, and lovers of movies everywhere.....just look at the trailer. Take away the CGI, take away the call-backs, and take away absolutely nothing else, because you only have to take away the CGI and call-backs to get my point. This movie is going to spit the bed. Here's how I know: "Scott Free Productions in association with Red Wagon Entertainment and Parkes+MacDonald Image Nation for Paramount Pictures." Just deconstruct that that financial orgy for a second, and you'll be fine. Instead, re-watch the 2000 version with the CGI Oliver Reed. At least he died like the honest alcoholic that his Hollywood forefathers did. Strength and honor.
I love pedro, hes great and such a kind soul.- it might just be me but i don't think he needs to be in every movie/show. Its a little bit overpopulated with him. Still will watch it but yea
@@katieee1203 it didn't need a sequel. And they're completely changing some of the backstory to fit this forced story they're hoping will sell when this movie drops.
@@wooSAAHH What are they changing exactly? If this is to do with Lucius being Maximus's son, it was never explicitly said that he was Maximus's son but it was very much implied and insinuated.
I have never been more disappointed in a trailer in my life. Gladiator is a perfect movie, it had one of the best stories, best acting and score. It ended perfectly and has no need for a follow up. Now this new movie I guarantee will have an inferior story and be all about the spectacle (see the water fight for reference). I hope it tanks, I will definitely never watch this movie. Thanks Hollywood for spitting on the face of greatness.
I am on the opposite end. I’m a history drama and epic fan first and foremost. I NEED history films all the time and with how little we ever get, I’m happy we are even getting this. The spectacles remind me of demille’s epic set in Rome and I love to see pascal playing a Roman general and Mescal in a big role like this. It’s Caracalla and Geta era baby.
@@lockekappa500 I don’t think you understand just how much I hate current day Hollywood. The last movie I saw in theaters was No Way Home. They are bastardizing the original movie making Maximus less of a hero. Sure they pay homage to him and say he’s inspiring, but for that universe his final victory was just before he died he also gave the power back to the people in the senate. Now they want to say he failed and a new emperor has taken reign. This movie can fuck right off
I’m not saying Hollywood right now is without issues, because it absolutely is and is running itself into a wall by producing so many obvious attempts at cash grabs, but there is still a lot of great movies being made that are full of substance and art. No love for Dune? Avatar 2? Oppenheimer? Even some new movies based on previously adapted IPs or sequels to older ones have been great movie experiences. Top Gun? Alien Romulus? The Batman? I can’t completely agree with what you’re saying about Gladiator because Ridley Scott is at the helm of this new one. He could’ve said no, but he didn’t, because he had a new vision and I can only respect that. It might be bad but I’m giving it a chance because Scott is on it.
It’s incredible how a change of background music can make such a massive difference to a trailer… so much better
the ting is i dont belive Pedro is gonna be an "evil" antagonist, probably more of a sympathetic.

I felt like in the first film it was heavily insinuated that Lucius was the son of Maximus and Lucilla
I agree. They had been friends (more than friends?) when they were young. She married someone else, but could have been pregnant when she got married.
His last line is, "Lucius is safe". I thought he was Maximus' son.
@jenisedai In a recent interview she says that Lucilla was married to her adopted uncle at 16 years, so it would not be unheard of that she fell in love with Maximus when he was a young lieutenant, but couldn't marry him because she was the emporers daughter.

@@Soundwave-Renaissance I mean it's very obvious that they had something before and Maximas almost seems ashamed to be around her early on.

@@OilBaron an Emperor wouldn't just accept that. It makes no sense but whatever
My friend, there have been a great many children born throughout history whose biological father isn't the man officially recorded as such.
And? Never minds for me. I am very hyped for gladiator 2
"Are you not entertained?"
The plot seems to be a little over complicated. A dude is a soldier who is taken prisoner but also the unknown bastard son of Maximus (unknown to him) and the owner of the gladiators is also attempting to overthrow the government to become emperor himself.
There's too much going on.
The Colosseum having the ability to conducted naval warfare battles is another reason why people think about the Roman Empire on a daily basis.
Nice beard Calvin 🧔♂️
Seems very silly. A guy with Crowe's voice saying lines Crowe said in the original. 🤦

No Mickey 17 trailer reaction?
agreed, such a good trailer
I’m here for Denzel 🤴🏿
Cant wait
How often do you think about Rome?
I’m Italian….everyday is my Capital 😂👍🏻
All the time. I’m manic about history.
Normal people reaction? Would be something a bit different for them - they can get to know the very talented Paul mescal
you guys should watch the new trailer for MICKEY 17 trailer came out a few days ago an looks great!
they shouldnt expose that lucius ia maximus son
Did you hear about the happy Roman?
He was gladiator.

Aaaah, so Denzel is the real bad guy, and Pascal is the bad guy turning good. I seee
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???
So are they showing the whole movie with trailers or why is there two?
Basically yeah lmao they should’ve left the part about Lucius being Maximus’ son out of the trailer and keep it in the film.
@@taquitobandito6054 like dude what is the point of another trailer that shows a lot more than the first one did?
@@crazyraccoon8 To show you more than the first one did :D If you don't want to see too much, first trailer should suffice.
I like the trailer of the trailer because our attention spans are so low now. But I want 3 frames showing the trailer of the trailer of the trailer.
I really wish the trailer had not revealed that man was a grown up Lucius. And I don't think I'm a fan of him being the son of Maximus.
Looks great. Not sure how I feel about Lucius being confirmed as Maximus’ son (especially in a trailer), but maybe I’ll vibe with it by the end of the film. I’m not gonna sit here and condemn the writing and story of a film not yet released (a lesson some people could learn).
Personally hate that they are retroactively making Lucius the son of Maximus.
It's literally implied in the original
😂 Yeah it was definitely never implied in original.
@@jrob18mvp if you didn't catch that, that was on you.
@@nathalied2691 I was being sarcastic.

I am still a bit sceptical. I think it might not be a bad movie infact it may be pretty good but as a sequal remains to be seen.
Are they gonna watch the venom new trailer?
I love how Eric looks so much like Kratos with that fresh chop
Maybe there is no twist, and Ridley Scott is doing another mistake 😅
