As long as you expect more of the same with 300: Rise of an Empire, you’ll be sure to be in good hands as this sequel looks to deliver more slo-mo sword swinging, impractically beautiful (and doubtlessly nude) women amidst comic book-esque landscapes and impossibly muscular men doing implausible physical feats.
While the original crew of 300 are now all dead, 300: Rise of an Empire follows the Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) and his not quite as trained army as they take on the stretches of Xerxe’s Persian army which naval fleet is under the command of Artemesia (Eva Green). I’m not quite sure where Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) fits into these but apparently she’s a queen (who would have guessed?)
