Sullivan Stapleton stars opposite Green as Themistokles, with Callan Mulvey and Jack O’Connell joining the duo, and Lena Headey returning alongside Santoro as Queen Gorgo. “300: Rise of an Empire” pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemesia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy. Now the fourth and fifth posters, of the set of six, have surfaced online, giving us a look at Eva Green as Artemisia and the return of Rodrigo Santoro as Xerxes.īased on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel Xerxes, and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster “300,” this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield-on the sea-as Greek general Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. If the first teaser trailer is anything to go by, there are plenty of action sequences to look forward to.Įarlier in the week, we were treated to the first trio of character posters ahead of the film’s appearance out in San Diego. The film is a sidequel of Zack Snyder’s brilliant original, 300, and it’s going to be very interesting to see how this second film compares to Snyder’s first, with Noam Murro taking over the helm. Whilst the vast majority of the films heading to Comic-Con will be transporting us to the future, or to worlds in which superheroes exist, 300: Rise of an Empire will instead be taking us more than two thousand years into the past.
