Sterling English thesp Bill Nighy has been confirmed after long speculation as joining the cast for Clash of the Titans 2 (Previously known as Wrath of the Titans but now untitled, presumably they are saving "Wrath" for the final part).
Nighy plays god Hephaestus and joins an impressive cast list of Sam Worthington as Perseus, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Danny Huston as Poseidon, Rosamund Pike as Andromeda, Gemma Arterton as Io, Edgar Ramirez as Ares and Ralph Fiennes as Hades.
Titans 2 is set ten years after Perseus smacked the taste out of the Kraken's mouth and sees him settled down to raise his son Agenor as a fisherman but he is drawn back into the game when the gods, weakened by the lack of human belief fall into turmoil and Zeus's son Ares betrays him by siding with Hades to overthrow the god king. Perseus must then travel through the underworld with Hephaestus, a fallen god, as his guide in order to save Zeus, who himself sees his own father, Kronos return.
Shooting began this week and we will see a release next year.
