While Gladiator 2 is on the way in 2024, Ridley Scott will first treat audiences to Napoleon in November 2023, a historical epic chronicling the famous French emperor's rise to power.

However, with Napoleon hitting screens well before Gladiator 2, the star-studded sequel has some additional challenges ahead of it.
