Gladiator II is set to have its world premiere at the 72nd Royal Film Performance on Wednesday 13th November, ahead of its UK release just two days later.

Paramount Pictures and The Film and TV Charity have teamed up to debut director Ridley Scott’s upcoming legacy sequel to the 2000 historical-epic on 13 November in London.

In a statement, the filmmaker, 86, said: ‘Ever since making Gladiator, year after year, I kept asking myself, ”Is there a sequel?”

‘After nearly 25 years, we are excited to finally answer that question for you, and audiences everywhere.

‘Making Gladiator II endorsed Orson Welles’ quote that ”filmmaking is the best train set a boy could ever have.” This was the biggest train set I’ve ever driven.

‘It feels only right that the UK premiere of Gladiator II is taking place in aid of the Film and TV Charity, an organisation that works tirelessly to support the UK industry. I think it will live up to your expectations.’

The event will be broadcast to 30 cinemas across the UK that are hosting Regional Premieres, and will include footage from the red carpet.

Managing Director of Paramount Pictures UK John Fletcher added: ‘We are hugely excited and honoured that ‘Gladiator II’ will be the 72nd Royal Film Performance.

‘We feel this worthy charity is a fantastic partner for this hugely anticipated movie and on behalf of Paramount we look forward to welcoming everyone to what we hope will be a most memorable night.’

The blockbuster – which stars Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn and Connie Nielsen – follows Lucius Verus, the former heir to the Roman Empire who is forced into slavery and eventually the Colosseum in an effort to restore glory to his home.

It comes after the newest trailer for the film saw Paul’s Lucius Verus seek vengeance against Rome in a blood-soaked battle with his captor general Marcus Acacius.

The Normal People star stars as enslaved former heir Lucius in Ridley Scott’s long-awaited sequel.

With Russell Crowe’s legendary Maximus long-since dead and buried, it is vengeful Lucius who must fight for his liberty after being taken into slavery and ripped away from his wife and daughter by general Marcus (Pedro Pascal).

Gladiator II is released on November 15 in the United Kingdom and November 22 in the United States
