Paramount and Ridley Scott’s anticipated sequel Gladiator II has been set as a Royal Film Performance, the studio and the Film and TV Charity announced this morning. The world premiere will take place in London on November 13, with red carpet footage streamed to 30 cinemas hosting regional premieres across the UK.

The sequel to Scott’s 2000 Oscar-winning Gladiator, the film continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and revenge 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 into the Colosseum after his home is overrun by the tyrannical emperors who now rule Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find the strength and honor to return Rome to its people.

Gladiator II also stars Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz and Derek Jacobi, alongside Connie Nielsen and Denzel Washington.
