Chris Hemsworth and Russell Crowe ‘in talks to co-produce Gladiator 2’

It has been more than two decades since the Hollywood blockbuster Gladiator became a critical and box office sensation, winning more than $ 400 million worldwide and securing 11 Oscar nominations.

Now there are rumors that Chris Hemsworth and Russell Crowe are in talks to co-produce an action-packed sequel: Gladiator 2.

An industry source told New Idea on Monday that Chris and Russell are considering the concept carefully and have spent hours meditating on the script’s ideas.

Gladiator 2 was first speculated in 2018, with original reports stating that the sequel would take place 20-30 years after the death of Roman leader Maximus (Crowe).

“Russell thinks he may be the only man to play his son credibly in the aftermath of Gladiator,” explains the source.

The mysterious source also said that the actors had become closer since Russell joined Thor: Love and Thunder in filming in Sydney.

In March, Chris and his wife Elsa Pataky even attended a South Sydney Rabbitohs game with Russell and his Thor co-stars Natalie Portman, Jeff Goldblum and Tessa Thompson.

Chris started production on Thor: Love and Thunder in Sydney on January 26th.

Much like Russell in 2000, Australian actor Chris (left) is in peak physical shape and has a muscular structure suitable to represent a Roman gladiator.

Meanwhile, it was announced in March that Chris would assist in the production, alongside Kathy Morgan, Christopher Mapp, Robert Slaviero and Peter D. Graves, his wife Elsa Pataky’s new film.

Netflix’s exciting new dramatic action movie, Interceptor, will feature the 44-year-old Spanish actress as the main character – a woman ready to save the world from 16 nuclear missiles.

The exciting new film will be shot in Sydney, with production scheduled to begin this month.
