Russell Crowe Criticizes ‘Gladiator 2’: ‘A Really Unfortunate Example’ of the Creative Team ‘Not Understanding What Made the First One Special’

Russell Crowe recently spoke to Australia’s Triple J and shared his disappointment with “Gladiator 2,” Ridley Scott’s 2024 sequel to the Oscar-winning “Gladiator.” Crowe headlined the original movie but was not a fan of the follow-up.

“I think the recent sequel that, you know, we don’t have to name out loud is a really unfortunate example of even the people in that engine room not actually understanding what made the first one special,” Crowe said. “It wasn’t the pomp. It wasn’t the circumstance. It wasn’t the action. It was the moral core.”
