Gladiator 2 4K Blu-Ray Preorders Are Already Available Online
After almost 25 years, Gladiator 2 finally premiered in theaters on November 22–but while its theatrical run only just started, retailers are already offering preorders for the film’s upcoming 4K Blu-ray release. Multiple versions are available at Amazon, including a collectible steelbook edition for $51 and a standard edition release.
$51
We don’t know when the Gladiator 2 4K Steelbook Edition will release nor what special features it may include, but we expect those details will be announced soon. That said, the listing says it will include 4K, standard Blu-ray, and digital streaming formats of the movie all in a single package, and shows off the unique Steelbook edition’s cover art featuring Lucius (Paul Mescal).
Preordering now locks you in for Amazon’s preorder price guarantee, which means if the price changes between when you preorder and when the Blu-ray launches, you’ll only pay the lowest price, and you won’t be charged until your order ships.
$37
If you want to save a bit of cash, you can preorder the Gladiator 2 4K Standard Edition Blu-ray for just $38. Like the Steelbook Edition, we don’t yet know the Standard Edition’s release date nor what (if any) special features will be included. At the very least, you can expect to get the 4K and standard Blu-ray version on disc, and a digital streaming code.
Gladiator 2 takes place 20 years after the original Gladiator. It follows Lucius (Paul Mescal), the son of the first movie’s protagonist, Maximus (Russell Crowe), who is taken prisoner after the Roman Empire invades Carthage and–just like his father–is trained to fight in the gladiatorial arena. In addition to Paul Mescal as Lucious, Gladiator 2 also stars Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, and Connie Nielsen. The film has received positive reviews, with many critics praising it as a worthy successor to Ridley Scott’s original film.
The first Gladiator film’s 4K steelbook edition was also recently reprinted and is available now for $28 at Amazon (was $31). Walmart also lists the Steelbook edition for just $20, but it’s currently sold out.
If the Steelbook edition also sells out at Amazon, you can grab the standard edition Gladiator 4K Blu-ray for $28 instead, which includes the theatrical and unrated cuts of the movie. There’s also a double-feature version that includes 4K versions of Gladiator and Mel Gibson’s Braveheart in one package for $24 (was $34)
More Gladiator 4K Blu-ray deals
Several more films are getting limited-edition 4K Blu-rays, many of which are celebrating of major anniversary milestones. These include critically acclaimed releases like Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, Bong Joon-Ho’s Snow Piercer, and David Fincher’s Seven, as well as cult-favorite fantasy and action flick like Constantine and The Last Witch Hunter–all of which are available to preorder now.
