The Gladiator II (Music from the Motion Picture) soundtrack accompanies the 2024 epic historical drama Gladiator II, directed by Ridley Scott and serving as a long‑awaited sequel to the Oscar‑winning Gladiator (2000). The original score for the film was composed by Harry Gregson‑Williams, who was announced as the composer in January 2024 and crafted a fully orchestral and choral score that blends new thematic material with callbacks to the beloved musical world of the original.
Released digitally, on CD, and on vinyl by Decca Records on 15 November 2024 — matching the film’s theatrical debut in the United Kingdom — the soundtrack album features 20 original score tracks composed and conducted by Gregson‑Williams. Stand‑out cues include Gladiator II Overture, Lucius, Arishat and the Roman Invasion, Strength and Honor, Acacius in the Colosseum, War, Real War, and The Dream Is Lost, creating a dramatic musical journey that underpins the film’s narrative of legacy, conflict, and redemption.
As a nod to the franchise’s past, the soundtrack includes Now We Are Free — the iconic vocal piece by Hans Zimmer, Lisa Gerrard, and Klaus Badelt from the original Gladiator — tying the new score back to its cinematic origins while introducing fresh musical voices for this chapter.
The album runs approximately 72 minutes and is available on major music platforms under the title Gladiator II (Music from the Motion Picture). In addition to the original score, the film incorporates licensed period music and classical compositions during its runtime, though these are separate from the official score album release.
