Three new high-resolution images from the upcoming sequel Wrath of the Titans have been released. The story finds Sam Worthingtonâs Perseus tasked with rescuing Zeus (Liam Neeson) from the depths of the underworld. Ralph Fiennes returns as Hades, and the action-factor is upped this time around as the Titans unleash hell on Earth. The new images arenât incredibly revealing, but we do get a good look at Rosamund Pike being an all-around badass. I wasnât over the moon about Clash of the Titans, but the trailer for Jonathan Liebesmanâs follow-up definitely piqued my interest. Worthington recently expressed his satisfaction with the end result to Steve, saying that Liebesman took a more realistic approach to the world in the vein of Ridley Scott.Hit the jump to check out the images. The film also stars Bill Nighy, Danny Huston, and Edgar Ramirez. Wrath of the Titans opens in 3D on March 30th.Hereâs the synopsis for Wrath of the Titans:
A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus (Worthington) âthe demigod son of Zeus (Neeson)âis attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanityâs lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades (Fiennes) and Poseidon (Huston). The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeusâ godly son, Ares (Ramirez), switch loyalties and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titansâ strength grows stronger as Zeusâ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Pike), Poseidonâs demigod son, Argenor (Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.
