Speaking to French magazine Première, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker confirmed that he is already developing the idea for a third “Gladiator” film.
“I’m already toying with the idea of Gladiator 3. No, seriously! I’ve lit the fuse”Scott said. “The ending of Gladiator II is reminiscent of ‘The Godfather,’ with Michael Corleone finding himself in a job he didn’t want, and wondering, ‘Now, Father, what do I do? ’ So the next [película] It will be about a man who doesn’t want to be where he is.”
