00:00 2022 was a great year for historical movies with some excellent historical films getting
00:06 released all across the world.
00:09 But the future looks even brighter with some absolutely amazing new historical movies and
00:15 long awaited sequels finally getting released in 2023 and 2024.
00:22 In this list I will give you my recommendations of 5 excellent upcoming historical films that
00:27 I am really looking forward to watching in the next couple of years and I think these
00:33 are all films that all viewers of this channel should get on their radar as well.
00:38 But before we begin don't forget if you love anything to do with historical tv shows
00:43 or historical movies then subscribe to my channel HistorySpark.
00:47 At number 5 it is Napoleon an upcoming historical movie based around the childhood, origins
00:54 and rise to power of Napoleon Bonaparte.
00:57 One of the most infamous figures in history and perhaps France's most revered general
01:02 and monarch.
01:04 This movie has an unconfirmed release date as of yet but this will be the first time
01:09 Haquan Phoenix and Ridley Scott will be working together again since their last project which
01:15 was Gladiator.
01:17 So if the previous history of the collaboration between these two is anything to go by then
01:22 Napoleon will be an epic biopic which will be in the highest tier in terms of storytelling,
01:29 acting and cinematography.
01:31 Napoleon is a film that I cannot wait to see and I hope it gets released sooner rather
01:35 than later.
01:37 The 4th spot on this list goes to the new Cleopatra film currently in the works that
01:42 will feature both Gal Gadot and production by Patty Jenkins.
01:47 And if the previous collaboration between these two on the Wonder Woman series is anything
01:52 to go by then I feel confident to say that this may be one of the best movies coming
01:57 out in 2023.
02:00 Viewers will be taken back to ancient Egypt and get a high budget film about the life
02:03 of Cleopatra.
02:04 There is not much known about the film at the moment except that Paramount won the production
02:09 rights for the film and the movie is currently in pre-production stage, giving us a possible
02:15 2023 or an early 2024 release window.
02:21 At number 3 it is Firebrand, an upcoming film starring Alicia Vikander and Jude Law.
02:28 And once again it will be another movie based around the life of Henry VIII.
02:32 But before you give a sigh of disbelief and disregard this upcoming movie, Firebrand
02:37 brings a unique twist to the story by focusing on Henry VIII's last wife Catherine Parr
02:43 as the primary character for the film.
02:46 The movie will focus around the events around her life before and after the death of Henry
02:51 VIII.
02:53 Catherine Parr often gets overshadowed by the many other wives of Henry but she has
02:58 an important role in history and I'm glad to see a movie coming out focusing on her
03:02 life.
03:03 The second spot on this list goes to The Last Kingdom, Seven Kings Must Die which will be
03:10 the conclusion to the amazing Last Kingdom TV series.
03:15 This movie will wrap up the storyline of Uhtred and will most likely follow the last three
03:19 novels of Bernard Cornwell's The Saxon Chronicles series.
03:24 The actors who play Uhtred, Finan and Citric have all been confirmed to return for the
03:28 movie.
03:29 But interestingly the producers of the movie have also said it will be a readily accessible
03:34 film for all newcomers to the series as well and can be watched as a standalone movie.
03:41 So it will be interesting to see what kind of interpretation the production team will
03:45 take with this upcoming Last Kingdom movie.
03:48 With so much ground still left to cover and Edelstein's rise to unite England under
03:52 one banner I think The Last Kingdom may end up being one of the best historical films
03:57 of 2023.
03:58 And the top spot on this list goes to the recently confirmed and long awaited sequel
04:04 to Gladiator which is simply being referred to as Gladiator 2 for the moment.
04:09 There is very little known about Gladiator 2 so far with the only confirmed casting being
04:15 Spencer T. Clark who will reprise his role as Lucius.
04:19 Lucius and Russell Crowe's character Maximus do share a unique father and son like bond
04:24 within the original Gladiator film so it is possible that they will be expanding upon
04:29 this story a little bit further and we will be following the life of Lucius after the
04:34 events of the film or perhaps even later on in his adulthood.
04:38 Nothing much has been confirmed yet but as I get more details on Gladiator 2 I will be
04:43 sure to keep you guys updated.
04:45 So please let me know in the comments down below which films you are most excited about
04:49 and if you haven't done so already subscribe to my channel HistorySpark as I post videos
04:53 on historical movies and historical TV shows each and every week.
