Role Call: Ridley Scott Talks Gladiator 2, Rodriguez, Molina Join Sian Ka'an
Director Ridley Scott tells Empire Online that the draft for Gladiator 2 is written, but don't expect to any of Russell Crowe's character: The story picks up where the first film left off and will take place entirely outside the Coliseum. "I wouldn't touch the gladiatorial side again, we have to go to the next step," Scott said.

I personally think that's awesome! I loved "Gladiator", it was SUCH an all-around great movie, a sequel would be just as great I think.
