Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington raise their swords for an epic battle in the arena in the first trailer for the sequel to Ridley Scott's Gladiator II .

Paramount Pictures releases the historical drama in theaters on November 22. Starring Mescal, Pedro Pascal , Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn and Connie Nielsen, the film is director Scott's follow-up to his 2000 epic Gladiator , which starred Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix and garnered five Oscars, including Best Picture.

Set several decades after the events of the first film in ancient Rome, Gladiator II centers on Lucius (Mescal), the grandson of former Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius and now the adult son of Emperor Commodus, who resides with his family in Numidia. After ending up in slavery following an invasion led by Roman general Marcus Acacius, Lucius follows the inspiration of Maximus (played by Crowe in the original Gladiator ) and competes as a gladiator.
