After a Gladiator Winner learns he was abandoned from inheriting the throne, he searches for his banished parents to re-take the kingdom from their own kin.
The challenge is that this story will inevitably be compared to "Gladiator". ?And one thing ?that the protagonist in "Gladiator" had going for it is he's is not power hungry. ?Though he could become the most powerful man in Rome, Emperor if he wanted to, he doesn't want to. ?

The challenge is that this story will inevitably be compared to “Gladiator”. ?And one thing ?that the protagonist in “Gladiator” had going for it is he’s is not power hungry. ?Though he could become the most powerful man in Rome, Emperor if he wanted to, he doesn’t want to. ? He’s just a regular, and pious, family guy.
And although Maxiumus’s objective goal is ?initially to avenge the murder of his family, it transmutes into fighting for a more worthy cause, killing a despotic Emperor and restoring the Republic.
Why should we want the protagonist to seize power in this story? ?What makes him a better ruler than the one he is trying to dethrone??
After all, how bad is the reigning emperor if he allowed the person he overthrew to live when it was SOP in those less kinder and gentler times to kill the rulers who were overthrown — not allow them to ?go into exile, perchance, to fight another day?

Maybe throw in a moral dilemma, as right now, i think people will assume doesn’t kill bis fianc?. Maybe this is a fight for a son’s love between the new woman on the block and the mother. So, the Mother is the Mob Boss, her son her protector, but he falls for a Cop or Rival gang assassin who is the one he is unknowingly protecting her from.
When he finds out who is trying to kill his mother and who his mother wants him to kill in order to end it, well up to you where you go. It could work as a Dark Comedy if you wanted. Anyways point being, I just need a reason to think he would kill his lover if he is love sick.
