Gladiator II premiered in Sydney, Australia on October 30, 2024, and debuted in the United States on November 22, 2024. In the movie, the Roman army led by General Acacius invades Lucius' home.

Washington's inclusion has created controversies, including calls that the movie "blackwashes" White history.  Port of Harlem contributor C.R. Gibbs responds to these and other challenges.
