Years after witnessing the death of revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Lucius is the son of Lucilla (Connie Nielsen) and the nephew of Commodus, the original film\u2019s antagonist played by Joaquin Phoenix.
