That's actually sad.

axer0043.bsky.social•94 days ago

I am unbelievably disappointed right now

sarauk1.bsky.social•94 days ago

This is absolutely sad that they cut her role

fortullos.bsky.social•93 days ago

If I worked with Denzel Washington and there was no proof of it, I'd be very upset.

anonym00s3.bsky.social•94 days ago

Damn. Now I'm interested to know her role in the movie

acefawkes.bsky.social•94 days ago

We were So Robbed

sanyamvarun.bsky.social•94 days ago

But they kept Lior Raz

d4c2005.bsky.social•94 days ago

Well darn

videoworld.bsky.social•94 days ago

New look at Pedro Pascal in ‘GLADIATOR 2’

juanmmatos.bsky.social•94 days ago

Did that and they still cried it was woke.

wolvie616.bsky.social•94 days ago

Booo

jpz0.bsky.social•94 days ago

Ok unsubscribing now. I saw this once and now you’re shoving it down my throat again. Annoying.

hsthompsontequila.bsky.social•94 days ago

I wonder who she would have played. Can't think of any spot.

danwilliams618.bsky.social•94 days ago

RIDLEYYYYYY GIVE ME THE 4 HOUR DIRECTORS CUT OF GLADIATOR 2 AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

youngflow.bsky.social•94 days ago

🤣🤣🤣

annemienuyts.bsky.social•94 days ago

Hopefully she's in an extended cut at least..

kasperfc.bsky.social•94 days ago

Darn... I would have loved to watch what they did together in this wonderful movie 🙌

celticsfan78.bsky.social•94 days ago

elchicosuave.bsky.social•94 days ago

I wonder how much it affected the film having to try to edit around that. Film was entertaining but was pretty mid tbh

fionaskywalker.bsky.social•94 days ago

Not a patch on the first, and Hans Zimmer was terribly missed.

godzillavs3459.bsky.social•94 days ago

Criminal behavior cutting her out of the movie. I really liked her in moonknight

bumpyweb.bsky.social•94 days ago

Is this Studio or Scott decision?

awesomevillagepod.bsky.social•94 days ago

Hopefully they release an extended version like they did with the original Gladiator.

fionaskywalker.bsky.social•94 days ago

Such a shame. Could have done with more than two female characters.

jfikey.bsky.social•94 days ago

Damn 😔

glover04.bsky.social•94 days ago

This is for me and for now Gladiator II's biggest flaw.

adidaddy.bsky.social•94 days ago

It's definitely not the film's biggest flaw. The bad story and writing is.

wokestillbroke.bsky.social•94 days ago

finally someone said it!

adidaddy.bsky.social•94 days ago

It needs to be said. The writing in this film was atrocious. So many laughably dumb scenes.

vividnaz.bsky.social•94 days ago

I wonder why she was cut 🤔

culturecrave.co•94 days ago

Cut about an hour out from the first cut to the final cut it sounds like

paolofilmlover86.bsky.social•94 days ago

Soooo, Release the May Calamawy Cut?

mattazy.bsky.social•94 days ago

We might eventually get an extended edition that includes her role, as Ridley loves a longer cut release afterwards!

fionaskywalker.bsky.social•94 days ago

Hopefully it'll improve it...

mattazy.bsky.social•94 days ago

There’s a chance it might. I quite liked it but I had realistic expectations, a near 90yo Ridley wasn’t going to match the masterpiece from 20+ years ago.

fionaskywalker.bsky.social•94 days ago

I'm still reeling because it did not need a sequel.

Someone wanted their mortgage paying I guess.

mattazy.bsky.social•94 days ago

It absolutely didn’t need a sequel, I agree. As for the mortgage thing, I don’t think it’s that, he’s old school like Eastwood, he’s got that drive to just keep making movies until he drops, even if they’re hit or miss, he’ll keep going 😂

fionaskywalker.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yeah but why a sequel to a film a quarter a century old.

"Lads, I wanna make a movie but I'm out of ideas. You know that one we did a few years back... Urm... Gladiator? That made money. And Oscars. And a guaranteed audience. Shall we?"

peachwindu.bsky.social•94 days ago

The decision to completely cut her out will forever be a big disappointment with this film for me, was really looking forward to seeing her in it. :(
