The actor first touched on joining Ridley Scott’s anticipated 2024 sequel; ‘Gladiator II.’

“There are very few films left for me to make that I’m interested in, and I have to be inspired by the filmmaker, and I was tremendously inspired by Ridley,” Washington said. “We had a great go-round the first go-round on ‘American Gangster,’ and here we are.”
Washington mentioned his enthusiasm on working with Scott again — and especially to the director’s age:
“He’s engaged. He’s excited about life and his next film. He’s an inspiration. We should all want to feel like that at 86.”
‘Gladiator II’ reportedly has an inflated budget, vastly ranging between $250-310 Million — due to abrupt delays and accidents during production.
The sequel releases on November 15, 2024 (United Kingdom) and November 22, 2024 (United States).
