Fans have been waiting to sink their teeth into the upcoming Gladiator II movie - and now, we finally have our first look at it.
*If you havenât seen the first film (where have you been?) - there are spoilers ahead*
The upcoming sequel features a new main character, Lucius, played by Normal Peopleâs Paul Mescal, after Russell Croweâs character Maximus died at the end of the last film.
The film will be set 20 years after the original movie, and will follow Lucius âas he attempts to return the glory of Rome to its people,â an official synopsis tells us.
Denzel Washington will join Mescal in the film, playing a former slave looking for revenge on those who have wronged him, while Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn and May Calamawy also feature in the star-studded cast.
Russell Crowe, whose character obviously wonât feature in the new film, has mixed feelings about the sequel.
Speaking to Kyle Meredith, he said, "Iâm slightly uncomfortable with the fact theyâre making another one â because, of course, Iâm dead and I have no say in what gets done.
"But a couple of the things Iâve heard Iâm like âNo, no, no, thatâs not in the moral journey of that particular characterâ. But I canât say anything, itâs not my place, Iâm six foot under. So weâll see what that is like."
A bunch of fans also have mixed feelings after watching the trailer - with a lot of people disliking the choice of soundtrack, and overall feeling like what theyâve seen so far has missed the mark.
âRidley, my guy, just cause you can churn out a movie nearly every year, really doesnât mean you should,â wrote one person.
âA movie that never ever needed a sequel,â another commented.
But thereâs still a bunch of people out there who are hyped for the film, with one person tweeting: "Looks incredible. Was on the fence of them creating a second but I think itâs in great hands after watching the trailer. I am entertained!"
Despite all the mixed feelings, we reckon it looks like itâs gonna be pretty epic to be honest. Weâre excited to check it out.
Guess weâll find out when the movie drops in theatres November 22 - check out the trailer up top and decide for yourself.
