Action-film fans, graphic novel enthusiasts, and those who enjoy watching scantily clad men battle on screen, rejoice! The creator/artist, director, and producer of 300 have been in discussions about making a prequel/sequel to the original film.

Director Zack Snyder has said that, if the movie does get made, the action will take place before the Battle of Plataea, which is where the first film leaves off. This means audiences will likely get to see more of the battle scenes that defined 300, and get the background leading up to what takes place in 300.

More importantly, 300‘s star Gerard Butler has expressed his interest in remaining part of the 300 cast if the second film is made. This means a second chance to see the Hollywood hunk exert his battle prowess– an idea which should appeal to audiences across the board.

If the film gets made, action lovers will be effortlessly drawn in by the prospect of more of the intense fight scenes of 300, while female viewers will delight in another 2 hours of watching a buff, shirtless Gerard Butler strut his stuff.

Sounds like a win-win situation for all!
