teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Going by Tarantino's mentality behind Joker 2, I would say that Ridley Scott is the real gladiator in this movie fighting against historians.
It's not that I take the side of this historian but sharks in the Colosseum are just ridiculous: how would they transport sharks to the Colosseum and keep them alive? How would they transport the seawater? It would have been more plausible and entertaining if he brought samurais to the Colosseum.

The Romans were dab hands at engineering: 1. The Colosseum is just a little more than 20 miles from the harbor at Ostia. I imagine that building some sort of waterproof tank to transport sharks over this relatively short distance wouldn’t be terribly difficult. 2. Flooding the Colosseum with sea water wouldn’t be necessary - there are several species of shark notably bull sharks) that actually thrive in fresh water. Even the ones that don’t can survive in it for anywhere from a few hour to a few days. 3. The movie takes place in the 3rd century. Samurai warriors only date from the 12th. But again, it’s not meant to be a documentary. Boru

There are also murals depicting sea battles in the colosseum. Whether they're accurate representations of actual events or flights of fancy is debatable.
