How long does ‘Gladiator 2’ last?

Capturing a significant part of Roman history, even if fictional, is no easy task. Therefore, it was expected that the Gladiator sequel would have a somewhat longer runtime. The movie will last 2 hours and 36 minutes in total.

It’s not really unusual or excessively long compared to many contemporary productions. It’s quite common for epic films or those covering complex stories to need that time to properly develop the plot and the characters.
