Accompanied by his family, Russell Crowe returns to Rome's Colosseum, a central location in Gladiator, 22 years after the release of the beloved film.

It's unknown, however, what time period the film will take place in and whether it will see the return of the iconic Colosseum. Twenty-two years after the release of Gladiator, Crowe has now returned to the Colosseum in Rome with his family in tow, as seen in a new picture posted to his Twitter account. Although Gladiator takes place in locations across the ancient Roman Empire, much of the story is contained to the Colosseum in Rome. After Maximus (Crowe) becomes a slave and survives his first match in a smaller gladiator ring, he accompanies his slaver to Rome. There, he is once more forced to fight, but this time in the massive Colosseum for crowds of thousands.
