A new 300: Rise of an Empire Featurette shows off the villains, old and new, appearing in the sequel. Plus, one Eva Green.
300: Rise of an Empire may promise a tidal wave of heroes’ blood, but it is all about the villains in the latest bit of marketing. With the new behind-the-scenes featurette, filmmakers cast a spotlight on the 300 sequel’s villains, both old and new. Of course, there is the return of Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) whose story both continues past the death of 300 Spartans and is expanded prior to that, as we see his origin in becoming the God King.
Yet, the biggest addition of all for 300: Rise of an Empireis very easily the introduction of Eva Green as the villainous Artemisia. A Greek woman who was wronged by her countrymen, she returns in the sequel with a fleet of Persian ships and enough charisma to drown the homeland.
300: Rise of an Empire opens on March 7, 2014.
