The movie won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and took home a whopping $503 million at the box office. For some time now, fans of the original have been hankering for a sequel, and while it's been a long road to get there, Gladiator 2 is finally becoming a reality, with the official release date set for Nov. 22, 2024.
