Summary A new streaming series set in Ancient Rome, Those About to Die, is the perfect show to watch during the interminable wait for Gladiator 2 to be released in theaters. Those About to Die, which just dropped all 10 of its episodes on Peacock in the U.S. and Amazon Prime internationally, similarly takes place in the swords-and-sandals world of gladiators who fight to the death to entertain the public.

Those About To Die Explained: What Peacock's New Ancient Rome Show Is It's all about the gladiator industry Peacock’s new Ancient Roman drama Those About to Die takes place in the gladiator industry. Whereas Gladiator follows the gladiatorial business from the perspective of a slave forced to fight for sport, Those About to Die tells its story from the point of view of an emperor, Vespasian, played by Hopkins.

Why Those About To Die Is A Perfect Watch Before Gladiator 2 They both deal with the same themes and subject matter Ridley Scott’s return to Ancient Rome is promising all kinds of action-packed spectacle. The Gladiator 2 trailer features gladiators fighting a bunch of different wildlife in the coliseum. It can be easy to get impatient while waiting for the movie to finally arrive, especially since it’s been in development since way back in 2001.

Gladiator 2 has a lot more going for it than Those About to Die. It promises more spectacle, with its blockbuster budget funding set-pieces like a fight with a rhino and a naval battle over shark-infested waters . It also has more star power: Those About to Die might have Anthony Hopkins, but Gladiator 2 has Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, and Paul Mescal. Gladiator 2 is promising a lot more action, a more star-studded cast, and an even bigger scale than Those About to Die.
