The sequel to the film that won five Oscars will hit theaters in November this year. The trailer and first images from the production, which surfaced online, have stirred many emotions. Meanwhile, director Ridley Scott is already thinking about the third part.

"It is an art, choosing gladiators. They're usually prisoners of war," says Denzel Washington, who plays Macrinus, as the trailer opens. The sequel follows Lucius, portrayed by Paul Mescal, the former heir to the Empire, who is taken prisoner and becomes a fighter.

Ridley Scott is already toying with ideas for "Gladiator 3" ahead of the release of "Gladiator 2," which revives his franchise after 24 years.
