Russell Crowe might not be returning as Maximus in Gladiator II, but the movie already revealed how he can still appear in some form. Ridley Scott’s 2024 sequel to his 2000 epic hit pushes the story in a brand-new direction. Opting against early plans for Gladiator 2 to explore Maximus’ coming back to life after Gladiator‘s ending, it was decided that Russell Crowe would not return to star, with the sequel instead shifting the focus to Maximus’ son, Lucius, played by Paul Mescal.
