Gladiator II, directed by Ridley Scott, will premiere on November 15 internationally and November 22 in the US and Canada.
Scott has expressed interest in making Gladiator into a trilogy, drawing inspiration from The Godfather series.
Paul Mescal stars as Lucius, the grown-up nephew of Maximus, and is open to returning for a potential third film.
