Here's a fun fact - the first gladiator was heavily promoted with Kid Rock's bawitdaba. In fact, there was a super bowl commercial. 😂. Im sure the score will be as epic as han zimmer's however.

It’s a trailer 😑 they have composed a score for the film. Relax

I remember the commercials for the first Gladiator had Kid Rock’s Bawatiba in it. I can get past the song in Gladiator 2 trailer. Still looks good.

Wasn’t the first gladiator trailer to bawitdaba by kid rock??

2 problems I had with the trailer. 1st they placed hip hop in a period piece epic mostly during Denzel scenes. 2nd Denzel doesn't change his accent or inflection at all. He feels like he's a character from a different time period, and I've seen him as King Lear so he can deliver Shakespeare.

I like the trailer minus the music... Would definitely watch it

Once that music played, I closed the trailer right away 😂

What erked me was that the trailer felt over when the song kicked in, and I was like, "oh, wait, there's more?"

Denzel looks like he's turning into Morgan Freeman.

Was not excited by the sequel announcement, but surprisingly, the trailer doesn't look bad, but the music choice at the end really killed the vibe. Cautiously optimistic about the movie now.

The Oppenheimer needle drop would have been “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons 😂

I have zero faith this won't suck. I'll just rewatch the original.

i honestly think it doesnt matter if its in trailer as long as it not in the actual movie

Not a trailer, but I thought a fantastic use of more contemporary music in an epic film was A Knight’s Tale. You could tell it was an integral part of the filmmakers’ vision. 👍🏾

There was a Gladiator 1 trailer with Kid Rock's Bawitaba playing on it back in the day that played during the Superbowl and during WWE events and it was pretty cool lol

I saw Denzel Washington’s laugh + smile and I instantly knew this film was gonna be dope.

I’m not mad about it. I honestly didn’t mind the song. It actually phonetically fits and the story of Gladiator is fictional so I don’t think you need that level of realism that “era appropriate” music would bring. I think that the attempt from a marketing standpoint point is that they want to real in new possible viewers. I imagine that if you already saw the original Gladiator then this trailer would stop you from wanting to see Gladiator 2 but if you haven’t seen the original maybe the music offers an element a familiarity that will make you want to watch the original so you can enjoy the sequel. Just a thought.

Ridley Scotts movies from the last 10 years used modern songs in the trailers.

I like that they added the rhino in the coliseum. Ridley Scott had planned to shoot a scene where Maximus had to fight a rhinoceros. He even had a mechanical rhino made but ultimately the scene was cut due to time and limitations with the tech. Just goes to show that film technology has come a long way since that time.

Sequel that is not needed. But why people complaining about the music decision? Didn’t they do that in original one trailer ? They added a Kid Rock song! It was weird decision to add a kid rock song into a movie like this.

The trailer looks really good but I agree with you, the music choice seems really off. It didn’t ruin the trailer for me, but it was definitely a stupid choice. Still have really high hopes for the movie though!

Thomas Dolby, "She Blinded Me With Science" is a better analogy for Oppenheimer.

When I saw the trailer this morning I was really excited for this movie and with the music on the trailer I was so shocked when they put Kanye West and Jay-Z that have me surprised

Despite the terrible music. I’m still interested in the movie. If only because I super adore the first one

I thought it was fine for a trailer. I’m sure they’re not using it in the movie. Also not even symphony music existed in Roman times.

The music in the original Gladiator was amazing. It elevated the film and is one of the few score CD purchases I have ever made. I hope this is not in the actual movie or they may have lost me no matter how good it may be.

Lets get the Zack Snyder trailer cut

Not sure why I thought I kept seeing Michael Cera in the trailer

One word keeps coming to mind when I watch this trailer…. Cheesy. It’s been done. There’s zero need for this.

I have always wanted a sequel to Troy featuring the young boy Achilles told "That is why no one will remember your name"

Mini correction to your argument..........bawtidaba by Kid Rock was shown a bunch with gladiator footage, might not have been a trailer but definitely tv spots

I felt the same way. As soon as that song came on I rolled my eyes.

Hurt was originally done by Nine Inch Nails, Johnny Cash just did his cover of it.

I comprehend the point being made, but I didn't get phased by the music. I have never been that taken by trailer music either way, and it doesn't add to or detract from what I saw. I can say it may not fit for some people, but the content outweighs the song for me. If it were the actual movie , maybe it takes me out of it, but a 2 min trailer, is just not that important to me to worry that much about the music. Sorry it sucked for you. Life goes on.

Watched the trailer..Im diggin it..

John's reaction at 1:47 killed me 😆😆😆😆😆

Have you read the original Gladiator 2 script? It’s nuts - worth checking out.

They definitely used Jay-Z song because Denzel is in the movie.

Lucius may have been the son on Lucius Varus one of the generals under Marcus Aurelius.

longlegs has good marketing team

“Tears on the mausoleum floor, blood stain the coliseum doors”
