Ridley Scott Confirmed Working on Gladiator III Film

Ridley Scott, the 87-year-old acclaimed director, has confirmed that Gladiator III is currently in progress following the release of Gladiator II last year. Despite mixed reactions from fans—some urging him to stop and others eagerly anticipating the sequel—Scott remains passionate about continuing the franchise. In addition to Gladiator III, Scott revealed he is shifting focus to a Battle of Britain film, a war movie about the pivotal 1940 RAF air campaign against Nazi Germany, with a screenplay by Joe Penhall. This project appears to have taken precedence over his previously planned Bee Gees biopic, which has been delayed. Scott also mentioned the possibility of another Alien prequel if a compelling idea arises, indicating his interest in revisiting his past franchises. His busy schedule and enduring enthusiasm demonstrate his ongoing influence and vigor in filmmaking despite his age.
