Summary A recent Vanity Fair article accompanied by some spectacular first-look images has revealed the most information yet about the highly anticipated Gladiator 2 after years of the project being shrouded in mystery. The legacy sequel to Ridley Scott's Best Picture-winning Gladiator has long been confirmed to follow Lucius , the son of Maximus' love interest Lucilla ; Lucius appears as a child in the original Gladiator .
9 What Happened To Lucius After Gladiator Lucius grew up outside the Roman Empire but is forced to return for Gladiator 2. Close Gladiator 2 has been framed as a return story, where, after spending years away from home, Lucius returns to Rome amid new political conflict. It is now confirmed that Lucilla sent Lucius to the region of Numidia on the northern coast of Africa when he was still a child, at that time, just outside the Roman Empire.
The tangled web of relationships between Lucius, Acacius, Maximus, and Lucilla supports a new story where personal conflicts are just as important and profoundly influence the political side of things. Therefore, Commodus rigging the game by stabbing Maximus before their fight is actually strangely accurate. If Acacius has inherited any sense of Maximus' moral code, he probably wouldn't do this himself — although he is also probably a skilled fighter who can hold his own anyway.
4 Paul Mescal's Fight Training & Transformation Mescal underwent intense training to portray Lucius fighting in the Colosseum. Maximus was driven by the single-minded goal of killing the emperor to avenge the deaths of his family, something which Lucilla, Commodus' sister, is caught up in. On the other hand, Lucius is essentially angry at everyone in Rome — Acacius, Macrinus, his mother, the emperors — which is channeled into his fight scenes.
Maximus was only dealing with Commodus, while Lucius will find himself in conflict with Acacius, Caracalla, Geta, and possibly Macrinus.
