Although some of the lyrics line up with what's going on in the historical blockbuster, fans are complaining that ithe music in the trailer 'doesn't match with ancient Rome'.
Gladiator fans have been left baffled by the bizarre choice of music in the first trailer for the new Ridley Scott sequel, which dropped on Tuesday.
Although some of the lyrics such as 'Blood stains the Coliseum doors,' line up with what's going on in the historical blockbuster, fans complained that it 'doesn't match with ancient Rome'. 'Didn’t like the Gladiator 2 trailer very much. Also, who’s decision was it to have Kanye rapping in a GLADIATOR trailer.''Watched the #Gladiator2 trailer and I miss the Hans Zimmer music. Ahh well.'
However, not everyone disliked the unique choice and some people took to social media to praise it, adding:'To anybody who says “Why is there rap music in the GLADIATOR II trailer? It is anachronistic and does not suit the period” 1. How do you know what suits the period? 2. Any instrument used to create the music would be anachronistic by default.'
Several decades have passed, but Maximus remains fresh in the memory as Paul Mescal 's Lucius picks up the sword in the first official trailer In Gladiator, Commodus, played by Joaquin Phoenix, was killed while fighting Maximus, who save the young Lucius and his mother while avenging his own wife and son's death.
