Eva Green in 300: Rise of an Empire
Eva Green has called Artemisia the most ‘ruthless’ character that she has ever played.
Green will be back on the big screen in March as part of the all-star cast of 300: Rise of an Empire - the sequel to the hugely successful 300.
The movie will introduce the character of Artemisia for the first time - a woman who is the brains behind the invasion of Xerxes - she is also a woman not to be messed with.
Speaking to Total Film the actress said: “She’s the most ruthless character I’ve ever played. I always say, ‘I can’t go darker,’ but I always do.
“She’s like a man. That’s what I like about it. I don’t like ‘girlfriend rules’ and all that shit.”
300: Rise of an Empire is based on the graphic novel Xerxes by Frank Miller, and sees Noam Murro take over the director’s chair from Zack Snyder; however, Snyder is on board in a producing role this time around.
The movie will see Green star alongside Lena Headey, Rodrigo Santoro, David Wenham and Sullivan Stapleton.
Green has also completed work on White Bird in a Blizzard, The Salvation and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For: the sequel to Sin City.
300: The Rise of an Empire is released 7th March 2014.
