In the years since the first film’s release, there have been numerous attempts to write a sequel
Line of Events
After his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now rule Rome, Lucius is forced into the Colosseum and must look to his past to find the strength to restore Rome to its glory for his people.
Musician Nick Cave was asked to pen one version by Russell Crowe and Sir Ridley Scott
His version focused on the more mythical elements of ancient Rome and would have seen Maximus arrive in the afterlife, only to find himself confronted by other souls who have yet to ascend further.
He is eventually tasked by Jupiter and other Roman deities to return to Earth to find and kill Hephaestus, an ancient deity who betrayed them
From there, he is resurrected as a Christian and finds himself returning to Rome, tasked with preventing the spread of Christianity, while crossing paths with the new emperor, Lucius.
The studio decided not to pursue this version, but the script is available to read online
The film would have ended with Maximus cursed to live forever, with a montage of the soldier fighting in the Crusades, World War II, and the Vietnam War, eventually revealing a modern-day Maximus working at the Pentagon in Washington.
