Directed by Ridley Scott, "The Wrestler 2" stars Diesel Washington and Paul Mescal who were present during the explosion, and Joseph Quinn and Connie Nielsen, the second part of the 2000 gladiator film starring Russell Crowe.
The film takes place in its first part in the era of the Roman Empire, where Caesar Marcus Aurelius tries to hand over his powers to the commander of the armies, but his son Commodus kills him before carrying out his mission and the son becomes Caesar of Rome to succeed his father.
The film had a budget of $103 million and grossed nearly $460 million at the global box office, was nominated for more than one Academy Award and won more than one award, including Best Actor for Russell Crowe and Best Picture.
Scott's great success in creating masterpieces like "The Gladiator" was no stranger to him, as he is a prolific filmmaker and has produced many successful works such as "Alien" (1979), "Blade Runner" (1982), "Thelma & Louise" (1991) and "Black Hawk Down" (2001).
David Scarpa wrote the screenplay for Gladiator 2 and previously collaborated with Scott as a writer on the 2017 film All the Money in the World.
Among the main crew members who worked on "The Gladiator" in its first part, and are experiencing the new experience with Scott, are production designer Arthur Max and fashion designer Janty Yates, as well as cinematographer Dariusz Volsky.
