"Spartacus: Arena of God" is the prequel to "Spartacus: Blood and Sand", which mainly tells the story of the rise of the Bitiatus family. The filming of the second season of "Blood and Sand" was temporarily terminated due to cancer of the actor Andy Whitfield. The producer decided to shoot a prequel, telling the story of how the Batiatus family slowly emerged from the infamous arena god Gannicus.
Dustin Claire, the gladiator in the play, is just like Andy Whitefield before. He was an unknown little actor, and the role of Spartacus pushed them to the ranks of red stars in the TV circle. Clay's role will be Gannicus, the most powerful gladiator of the Batiatus family before the arrival of Spartacus. Before the arrival of Spartacus, the lives of these gladiators were more brutal and bloody, and their only glory was to step into the arena with their heads high. Another thing that makes people’s eyes shine in the prequel is Capua’s sexy social flower Gaia, played by Jimmy Murray. Murray’s role in "Bloodthirsty Forensic" is bold and casual. I believe she is in "Spartan". The performance in "God of Arena" is definitely worth looking forward to. Marisa Ramirez will play a slave girl who will face a difficult inner choice. Jeffrey Thomas will play Batiatus' father Titus, the head of the traditional and cautious Ludus. Although we can't expect the appearance of Andy Whitefield, in "Spartacus: God of Arena", we can also expect John Hansner (Quintus Batiatus), Lucretia (Lucretia), The return of Peter Mensa (Oenomaus) and Manu Bennett (Crixus).
Gannicus's desire for wine and women is as well-known as his superb swordsmanship. And the young Batiatus waited for the opportunity. Before he was ready to overthrow his father and get himself in power, he could betray anyone in order to ensure his own interests. The foresighted wife Lucretia is very loyal to him, supports his every despicable conspiracy, and from time to time takes advantage of the cheeky characteristics of his sexy friend Gaia. They unite, blind everyone at all costs, fight for fame and fortune, and fight for power.
