Where can you watch Gladiator 2 once it releases?

As previously mentioned, several video-on-demand platforms have already put up circulars regarding the arrival of Gladiator 2 on their platforms. While some platforms, such as Prime Video, mention that the film's release date is coming soon, other platforms, such as Apple TV Plus, simply direct you to the film but give a "Content Unavailable" disclaimer on the screen when you attempt to watch it.

On Fandango at Home/VUDU, the situation is the same, as audiences don't get to see the movie even though there are hints of its availability on the platform. That said, among all the platforms where Gladiator 2's availability is expected, Prime Video offers the most amount of confirmation. Besides a "Release date coming soon" message on their platform, Prime Video has also mentioned the pre-order prices for the movie.

Gladiator 2 is available for pre-purchase on Prime Video in its UHD, SD, and HD versions at $24.99. As the date of the film's release comes near, audiences can also expect the movie to be available for rent, as that is usually the case for films released on the platform.

What is Gladiator 2 about?

Gladiator II builds up on the events of Gladiator, which saw Russell Crowe's Maximus Decimus Meridius rise against Emperor Commodus to seek revenge for the murder of his family members. While Maximus did not survive in the end, he made sure that he brought about small systemic changes in Roman society before his passing.

The synopsis for Gladiator II reads:

"From legendary director Ridley Scott, Gladiator II continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome. Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist."

It continues:

"With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people."
