Even as legacy sequels go, Gladiator 2 is coming a long time after the original movie. The new 2024 blockbuster, which comes out on Friday, November 15 in the UK and Friday, November 22 in the US, arrives a full 24 years after the original, and so you'd be forgiven for being a bit hazy on the plot points it continues.

Gladiator 2 is distributed by Paramount, which means that the studio's sister streaming site Paramount Plus will be the place to watch the movie at home. The movie's streaming release date hasn't been confirmed yet, but Paramount movies arrive on the streamer as soon as their theatrical run is over, so we'll have a while to wait.

After almost 25 years, Ridley Scott returns to the world of swords, sandals and bloody arena deaths. For a long time, Gladiator from 2000 was considered the most incredible modern tale about the ancient world (despite many historical inaccuracies).
