The second trailer for Gladiator 2 feels more tonally appropriate than the first, moving away from the unexpected musical choice towards a more traditional blockbuster feel.
Paul Mescal, who plays Lucius Verus the second, was astonished by the reveal that his character is actually the son of Maximus from the original Gladiator.
The trailer reveals a major plot point that Lucius Verus the second is the son of Maximus, implying audiences might feel the whole movie is revealed in promotional materials.
While the first trailer was criticized for its choice of music, the second one aims to align better with traditional blockbuster expectations, though it still immerses viewers in intense visuals.
