In the years following the first film's release, many attempts were made to write a sequel
Line of Events
After his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now rule Rome, Lucius is forced into the Colosseum and must turn to his past to find the strength to restore Rome's glory to his people.
Musician Nick Cave was brought in to write the version by Russell Crowe and Sir Ridley Scott
His version focused on the more mythical elements of Ancient Rome and would have seen Maximus arrive in the afterlife, only to encounter other souls who have yet to ascend higher.
Ultimately, Zeus and the other Roman gods order him to return to earth to find and kill Hephaestus, the former god who betrayed them
From there, he is resurrected as a Christian and discovers that he is returning to Rome with a mission to stop the spread of Christianity, crossing paths with the new Emperor Lucius.
The studio decided not to continue with this version, but the script is available to read online
The film would end with Maximus being cursed to eternal life, with a montage of a soldier fighting in the Crusades, World War II, and the Vietnam War, finally showing a modern Maximus working at the Pentagon in Washington.
