How many movies other than like schlock horror stuff get a sequel without the 2 main characters in them? I'm sure there are some but I'm just too tired to think of what they are.

Weirdly I just learned there's an upcoming Wind River sequel without Elizabeth Olsen or Jeremy Renner.

This is a little different since the two main characters, Maximus and Commodus, died in the first one. Lucius and Lucilla are in this, and while they weren't the stars, they weren't exactly minor characters.

I thought about this, but I'd qualify the Predator as one of the two main characters from the original.

I have to use this opportunity to mention again that Patrick Swayze had signed on to be the lead in Predator 2 before he got hurt filming Road House.

I figured someone would bring this up and I disagree. The character is important, the person inside the suit is not.

Did Kevin Peter Hall not play the Predator in the sequel? I legit don't know. I was arguing the character is in both, unless we're arguing it's different Predators?

You're right. I guess I read pork chop's post as cast member, not character. I retract Predator.

He was in the sequel and tragically died the next year after getting a blood transfusion of someone who was HIV positive after having surgery.

Raising the stakes...with wild animals. You have to see this trailer to believe it. At one point they turn the arena into something from SeaWorld complete with sharks swimming around and ships...dropping an unlucky few into the shark-infested waters. Chum-tastic. This is…

The first footage from #Gladiator2 is shown by Paramount at #CinemaCon:

First teaser for ‘GLADIATOR 2’ reveals Paul Mescal’s journey to becoming a gladiator, including facing off against a rhino. Pedro Pascal & Paul Mescal then face off, both very bloodied.

Well, the first #Gladiator 2 footage was instantly the best thing I've seen so far at #CinemaCon. Every bit as epic and bloody as you're expecting. Just massive.

NEW at #CinemaCon: We just watched 5 minutes of #Gladiator2 and holy crap! Massive Coliseum battles - on Shark-infested waters. Versus savage beasts. Versus a guy riding a rhino. Mescal. Washington. Pascal. Performances look ferocious in every sense. Coming this November!! pic.twitter.com/CBvyldxSxu

Saw 5 minutes from #gladiator2. Looks massive and the footage was loaded with epic action both inside and outside the colosseum. Love the first film and this looks like a great sequel. pic.twitter.com/NGcPei7Rk2

The GLADIATOR II footage looks stunning. They show naval battles in the Colosseum, fighting monkeys and rhinos, and more.

Visually it’s right in line with the first film. Mescal and Pascal’s characters appear to go head to head. #CinemaCon2024

First look at GLADIATOR II: five mins of seriously ripped Paul Mescal, spit-talking Joseph Quinn taking over Joaquin Phoenix bad-guy duties, Pedro Pascal as reluctant authority figure, Denzel in mentor role, plus gladiators fighting sharks, rabid baboons, even a rhino. #CinemaCon

I'm hoping it'll be in theaters with The Fall Guy on May 3, and online sometime in the week or two before then, but no one knows for sure. Could be later in May, could be June. Regardless, most of the CinemaCon trailers don't release online immediately, as they're mainly exclusives for the theater owners and journalists in attendance.

I haven’t been excited for a Ridley Scott film in a while but Gladiator 2 looks absolutely bad ass. This looks epic in every sense of the word. Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington take center stage in the footage that was shown. Looks like a major awards player.…

Conflicting reports on Paul Mescal's character based on the first footage

Deadline says he is Maximus' son

Hollywood Reporter says he is not Lucius

Variety says he is a nobleman

Entertainment Weekly says he is Lucius https://t.co/4LmO5fort7 https://t.co/jnT0nqBjqK…

I was about to clown on the absurdity of introducing water and sharks into the mix, but apparently flooding the place with sharks and other dangerous sea life to up the stakes was an actual thing??? F'n crazy if so.

Do not give Maximus a son.

His son is dead. That's kind of the whole point of the original.
