No, Gladiator 2 is not streaming at this time, it is playing exclusively in movie theaters.

However, because the movie is made by Paramount Pictures, we can make the logical assumption that it will have its streaming premiere on Paramount Plus. Prior to that however, we expect it’ll have a run on digital on-demand platforms.

Here is the official synopsis for Gladiator 2:
“From legendary director Ridley Scott, Gladiator 2 continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome. Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius 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.”
