Brutal action epic starring Russell Crowe that was never continued (unlike Gladiator)

We have seen many different versions of Robin Hood in the cinema. Robin Hood, King of the Drifters brings us Errol Flynn in a very classic version of the hero. Taron Egerton portrayed the thief who steals from the rich to give to the poor as an action star in 2018’s Robin Hood.

Russell Crowe has created an interpretation that is particularly worth seeing. In the 2010 Robin Hood film, director Ridley Scott lets the Legend of Sherwood Forest revive in the context of a dark historical film that chooses the path of a grounded story despite big and brutal action scenes.

Robin Hood 2 will never come, but Ridley Scott is making Gladiator 2

With Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven, Scott has revived the epic history cinema. His Robin Hood is in the same tradition. It is particularly exciting that the version of the title hero that we know from numerous other stories is only born at the end. We almost experience Robin Hood’s Origin Story.

However, there was never a sequel. Although Scott has toyed with the idea of ​​expanding his Robin Hood epic with a second part, the project is never in a crucial production phase came. Instead, Scott recently surprised everyone by announcing another sequel: Gladiator 2.

At first glance it seems like a continuation of the Robin Hood story much more sense as a second Gladiator film. Last but not least, the main character, Maximus, dies at the end. But Scott sticks to the idea. With Paul Mescal he continues the gladiator legacy. Here you will find all the important information about the unexpected sequel.
