What he did in the past, how he became a slave, how did he become a gladiator, everything he did to win his freedom and then how did he become a slave holder and fight his slaves in the arena? Marcus Arelious would've been in the movie, it would've been epic! And even better make it a miniseries instead.

After Napoleon, Ridley should have retired. Actually, he should have retired before. Pedro Pascal? Nah. A little personal story. I was on a flight from Toronto in 2001 and the guy in the seat next to me was Derek Jacobi. An absoluite gentleman, He struck up a conversation and was surprised when I said I knew who he was. But I remembered him primarily from I Claudius and had forgotten he was in Gladiator when he asked if I'd seen it!. FYI; Caracalla was a bit of a twat. He had his brother and all his followers murdered (estimated 20,000 people) His wife and her brother murdered. He was arguably responsible for the treachery that saw his father-in-law executed.
They should have recast fat Russell Crowe kicking ass and make it into a comedy film. LOL

Admittedly Ridley knows how to make a film look visually stunning 👍 but everything else has been off apart from that 😬
There are so many epic stories that could be shown on screen and yet they have decided to beat the dead horse once again. Lack of creativity, knowledge of history and simple self esteem is staggering in today’s Hollywood.
Why? Why did they feel a need to make this movie? Obviously woke politics will be pushed into this and honestly the cost of this is crazy. If it cost $380 million, not even including promotional costs, this will need about $750 million to break even, if not more. The first movie ended perfectly, no sequel was wanted or needed.
They should've set it in the future so it's like a mad max world where they fight other warriors, robots, mutants, and monsters. Gladiator 2: All or Nothing

Think if they based it on a real Gladiator fight were both were given their freedom at the end of the fight, could be an interesting film.
Caracalla was a real emperor of Rome during a period called the Crisis of the Third Century. This period of time almost led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Caracalla did rule with his brother Geta, but not for long. Geta was killed by the Praetorian Guard (basically the Secret Service of ancient Rome) on orders from his brother. He was best known for the construction of the Baths of Caracalla (though he probably didn't actually commission them) and for the edict that gave Roman citizenship to all free men living in the Roman Empire, something that had never been done since Rome was founded. ...in case you were wondering. :)
That shot is great meme material!
I hope Ridley does something different like a Mortal Combat Tournament in Rome because I don´t think any one wants to see a reimagining of the old plot.
I hope it has a diverse cast
Some said the same about Demetrius and the Gladiators (1954) the sequel to The Robe (1953). Regardless, the sequel was a massive commercial success. I'm willing to give Ridley the benefit of the doubt as he has made some good movies recently, such as The Last Duel (2021).

I was just telling my friend the other day that what they really need to do is remake Gladiator but with a modern social justice perspective. Lol
While I get this was for it's time an "all time great film" yet I think this was also a film that benefited from physical media sales, VHS and DVD because you go into second hand stores and like Titanic those copies are everywhere. So in this day when physical media isn't a thing anymore and many projects don't make their money back even after streaming you have to ask the question is there a chance this film does well.
