No Nick Cave script, no buys I'm tired of people saying that idea is good when it's bat**** insane and makes no sense. There I said what I said. Was that the script where Maximus somehow became immortal and fought in several more recent wars like the American Revolution and World War II?

I tend to avoid trailers as they just show the whole movie these days, sure enough it did but doesn't really matter when it seems to have the same basic structure as the original.
The rap music was a poor choice and Denzel just sounding his normal self seemed out of place too. Mescal looked better than I was expecting, no iPhone face, but in wrestling terms he's going to struggle getting cheers against someone as popular and charismatic as Pascal.

The rap music was a poor choice I really don't understand why marketing people insist on shoehorning ill-fitting music into trailers that isn't representative of the movie itself.

I was young enough to remember Gladiator 1 being marketed on TV with Kid Rock and trying to market it as an action movie

People joke about Chris Pratt being in everything but now Pascal is involved in everything that's coming out

People joke about Chris Pratt being in everything but now Pascal is involved in everything that's coming out Pascal is a lot more versatile than Pratt. I don't even dislike Pratt, but he doesn't step outside his comfort zone. His entire career for the last decade has been either "Funny Star-Lord" or "Serious Star-Lord." As prolific as Pascal has been, he's taken on some fairly diverse roles.

Personally I loved everything about the trailer, especially the No Church in The Wild remix and Denzel but hey ymmv.

For those who don't use Elon's hellscape: I made it through 2 minutes of that shit then I turned it off.

For those who don't use Elon's hellscape: From when this film was first announced, I always thought that Gladiator II was not needed at all. This trailer did nothing to change my mind.

I don’t know if I will see it in the theater, but I will see it eventually.

If I was making this movie, I would have called it "Sadiator."

I jsut watched the trailer.
One bit that interested me--the rhino. I thought ok, that's stupid but I want to see how they defeat it. Two seconds later--the trailer shows how it's defeated, by them dodging to the side so it hits the wall.
Why show that?
Leave it with the rhino appearing. That's enough of a teaser. No need to show anything else related to that scene. Instead they showed both Gladiator making the plan AND the plan in action.
