A sequel that seemed too transgressive for the director of one of the most thematically gruesome movies ever made was a cakewalk for Ridley Scott. The filmmaker was working on Gladiator when a producer pitched him the project, and he immediately signed on, as did the Oscar-winning star of the original. However, one key member of the original's cast refused to return, and her role was recast. The movie was ultimately deemed inferior to the original, but it was a major box-office hit. It's now streaming on Peacock in the United States, but not for much longer.
