And if you’ve been wonderingwhen it’s coming to streaming, you’re not alone.
Paramount announced today that"Gladiator II" will be released on Paramount Plus on January 21.
Well, having watched it myself, I can tell you that the answer is a resounding … maybe.
What is ‘Gladiator II’ about?
“Gladiator II” stars Paul Mescal as Hanno, who is secretly Lucius Verus Aurelius.
But Lucius cannot escape Rome forever.
Now, Hanno has a chance for vengeance against those who wronged him, namely Acacius.
That said, there are two big reasons to watch this movie.
The other reason to watch this movie is that Denzel Washington issogood in it.
If you told me he largely went off script for his performance, I’d believe it.
So is this an Oscar-worthy movie to its acclaimed predecessor?
To be fair, that’s a pretty good reason.
