Warner Bros has been moving fast to try and get the sequel to Clash Of The Titans, which will apparently be called Wrath Of The Titans, into production as quickly as possible, and with a January start date looming, they’re on the lookout for new cast members. Production Weekly has now tweeted that actors James Franco and Javier Bardem are rumored to star
James Franco is circling the role of Agenor, the king of Tyre, while Javier Bardem might play Ares, the God of War. These casting choices are only rumors at this point, and there is no official word from the studio. Neither actor is particularly known for big, flashy pics (barring Franco in Spider-man), so it would be a bit of a departure for both of them, so don’t be shocked if this doesn’t come to fruition.
Battle: Los Angeles director Jonathan Liebesman is on board to direct the new sequel, while Dan Mazeau (The Flash) and David Johnson (Red Riding Hood) are writing the script for this new Greek God adventure. Sam Worthington and Gemma Arterton should also be back.
