So you’re telling me there’s a chance I could dress up in Roman armor and pretend I’m in Gladiator II in real life?

If you’re like me, you’re already excited about the 2024 film calendar released of Gladiator II. But fans don’t have to wait until opening night to celebrate their Gladiator fandom – and no, it’s not just about acquiring a collectible popcorn bucket. This time you can dress up as a Roman soldier with authentic armor. That’s right, the chance to enter the legendary Colosseum and channel your inner Maximus is now a reality, thanks to Airbnb.

In honor of Ridley Scott’s next sequelThe popular vacation rental platform has announced a breathtaking and unique experience that invites a handful of lucky guests to explore the Colosseum after hours for an immersive evening of gladiator training and ancient history. And yes, this incredible experience is free! By Peoplethis exclusive event is part of the Airbnb program Icons series. It has already brought fans closer to their favorite fictional worlds, offering stays and experiences in iconic locations like the Beetle juice Professor X’s house and mansion X-Men 97. However, unlike these lists, the Gladiator II the experience is not an overnight stay.

This is a three-hour after-hours adventure designed to bring guests to the heart of ancient Rome, complete with historic armor, weapons and an epic ambiance at the Colosseum. The description of the reception service paints a vivid picture, as it describes the experience:

Those brave enough to take on the challenge will follow in the footsteps of victorious fighters, don historically accurate armor, and put their skills to the test to determine their fate in battle. May you emerge triumphant and establish yourself as the ultimate gladiator, earning your place in history.

Once inside, participants will be greeted by their host after sunset and taken into the candle-lit Colosseum. From there, it’s a fully immersive experience, described as a descent into the hypogeum.

In these underground chambers, warriors are prepared for battle and wear authentic armor matching your gladiator types. Guests will navigate the torch-lit tunnels, watch a live combat spectacle between seasoned gladiators, and eat a classic spread of grapes, pomegranates, and walnuts. Then it’s your turn to test your courage: learn the art of combat and face other warriors under the watchful eye of a referee, seizing the opportunity to taste Roman glory in an unforgettable showdown at the Colosseum.

The experience culminates in watching professional gladiators compete in a thrilling showdown.

Then, after hands-on training, guests will even be able to test their skills in a simulated combat experience. And if you’re wondering how Airbnb was able to pull off an event of this scale, it’s probably thanks to Gladiator IIthe highly anticipated release of, which features Paul Mescal, Pierre PascalAnd Denzel Washington. With Mescal stepping into the ring as Lucius, Commodus’s nephew, Gladiator II promises to bring back the high-octane, intense spectacle that fans loved in the original film, and the global travel brand’s immersive experience seems like the perfect introduction.

But here’s the catch: reserving a spot for this experience might be more complicated than winning your own battle at the Colosseum. It will only be available for two nights – May 7 and 8 – with each evening accommodating up to 16 people. Reservation requests open on November 27 and will remain open until December 9, but with only 32 places available, demand is expected to be fierce. So if you’re aiming to enter the epic world, mark your calendars, set an alarm, and be ready to hit that booking page.

For fans eager to witness the thrilling drama of Gladiator IIthis exclusive event offers a rare chance to experience a piece of ancient Roman history and a Hollywood fantasy in the Colosseum itself. And with the film boasting rave early reviews for Mescal’s performance and thrilling action sequences, this experience will be the ultimate way to get into the spirit of the gladiators.

The rest of us, the unlucky few (many, really) unable to make it to the AirBnB event, will just have to settle for watching the movie when it comes out on November 22, which is totally fine because the Images by Pedro Pascal alone is enough to excite me. THE first reactions to Gladiator following look pretty good too, with some even already discussing the potential Oscar buzz for Denzel Washington. Unfortunately, we will have to provide our own armor.
