After last year’s epic ‘Barbenheimer’ showdown at the box office, ‘Gladiator II’ and ‘Wicked’ will step into the ring to see if they have what it takes to create history. ‘Gladiator II’, directed by Ridley Scott, serves as the highly anticipated sequel to the Oscar-winning epic that redefined the historical drama genre. Returning to the grandeur of the Roman Empire, the film promises to deliver intense battle sequences, gripping new narratives, and Scott’s signature visual storytelling. Meanwhile, Wicked, the musical prequel to The Wizard of Oz, offers a lighter, more magical cinematic experience. Featuring a star-studded cast and iconic songs, it explores the untold story of the witches of Oz.
The films clash at the worldwide box office on November 22.
