Summary One element of the trailer for Ridley Scott's Gladiator II has caused some controversy, but it was actually a great choice for the trailer, and a positive sign for the sequel. The trailer for Gladiator II gave a great first look at the upcoming sequel and revealed some major parts of its story. It highlighted the main cast of Gladiator II, like Paul Mescal's Lucius, Pedro Pascal's General Acacius, and Denzel Washington's Macrinus.
Gladiator 2's Modern Music Suggests A Fresh Approach For The Sequel Parts of the trailer for Gladiator II were set to the song "No Church in the Wild" by Jay-Z and Kanye West. That choice for the trailer's soundtrack became controversial to some viewers for a few reasons.
Gladiator 2 Is Already Close To The Original Movie In Many Other Ways Close Part of why the music in the trailer for Gladiator II was such a good choice is because the sequel needed to distance itself from the original Gladiator. The two films are already extremely similar, and Paul Mescal's Lucius seems eerily similar to Russel Crowe's Maximus.
