Speaking out recently with The Hollywood Reporter before the release of Gladiator II, director Ridley Scott has already started hinting at a third installment in the Gladiator franchise ahead of the premiere of the sequel, which hits theaters on Nov. 22, over 20 years after Gladiator. The details about a potential third film are scant, beyond Scott stating, Theres already an idea and that he is taking inspiration from Godfather II, pointing to it not being far beyond a rough concept.
