New 300: Rise of an Empire featurette introduces the film’s heroes

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

I’ve been hearing mixed things on the upcoming 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE, but I must admit to being excited to see the thing. If only for Eva Green. Eva Green in 3D? Yes, I’ll watch any of that..

But right now we’re here to talk about the heroes of the film, whom you can meet in a featurette just released by Warner Bros. entitled, yes, “Heroes.” Check it out below, and below that you
can view an earlier featurette about the villains, which of course features an ample helping of Eva.

Based 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 (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. “300: Rise of an Empire” pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemesia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE opens on March 7th.
