The announcement comes just a year after the premiere of Gladiator II, with Paul Mescal in the leading role.
Ridley Scott approached the possibility of performing Gladiator 3 and a third prequel to Alienoffering a promising update.
Premiered last year, Scott’s sequel to its epic of the year 2000, Gladiatorfollowed Lucius, the son of Maximus, who becomes a hero of the colosseum. The film was not a great box office success, but the director had already expressed interest in a sequel.
In an interview with The Guardian, the 87 -year -old British director has confirmed what so far were rumors: there will be gladiator 3. Scott expressed it clearly when, asked about his projects, he replied: “Gladiator [3] is in process right now “. That is, it is not a simple idea about the table, but an ongoing development that gives continuity to one of its most iconic films.
The announcement comes just a year after the premiere of Gladiator II, with Paul Mescal In the leading role. The sequel functioned as a risky bet to recover a universe that many considered closed with the death of Maximum (Russell Crowe) On the original tape.
Despite the initial doubts, the film attracted millions of spectators and left the door open to future deliveries, a gesture that now makes full meaning with the officialization of this third part.
Will there be more prequels of Alien?
In the same conversation, Scott was also asked about the future of the Alien franchise, from which he directed the prequels Prometheus (2012) and ALIEN: Covenant (2017). Although he did not confirm a firm title, he left the door open with a brief “yes, if I have an idea, of course.” That is, the possibility of a third chapter in that line exists, but it will depend on finding an adequate plot that justifies this project.
