Nov. 13, 2024Should You Watch Gladiator 1 Before Gladiator 2?
Well, there’s no hard and fast rule that one must watch the original Gladiator movie before Paul Mescal’s sequel. However, if you can invest time in watching it, you should, as it will help you learn things you must be aware of before heading to the upcoming Gladiator film. Moreover, you’ll also get an idea of what you should expect from the action sequel.
Gladiator 2 takes place several years after the original film, so it’s obvious that it will not feature some crucial characters, including Russell Crowe’s Maximus. However, several characters, like Lucilla and Gracchus, will also reprise their roles in the new film. Even though events in the film will feel new, there will certainly be some instances that will have a link to the events that occurred in the previous film. So, even if not necessary, it will be great if you watch Gladiator 1 before watching the sequel.
