News > 'War of the Gods' and 'Clash of the Titans' Casting News

Sam Worthington is set to play Perseus in the Clash of the Titans and in other greek news Henry Cavil will play Theseus in War of the Gods.  Variety is reporting that "deals for both actors are expected to be worked out, keeping the Greek mythology-themed projects on a parallel track."

The projects have different plots, but each film will be made for under $100 million because the visual effects will be accomplished using the greenscreen techniques that made "300" so visually arresting.

Cavill is best known for his work on Showtime's "The Tudors" but was also on the shortlist to play the Man of Steel in "Superman Returns."

Worthington, one of the finalists for the James Bond role that went to Daniel Craig, is starring for director James Cameron in "Avatar" and plays a pivotal role in the McG-directed "Terminator Salvation."
