Gerard Butler Talks 300 Sequel

Gerard Butler Talks 300 Sequel

We have heard the rumors for a while now, and as illogical and downright silly a direct sequel sounds, director Zack Snyder has said that if Frank Miller comes up with something solid, he would be game to make the movie.

MTV heard from another big gun involved with 300 , Gerard Butler, who played the very dead at the end King Leonidas..

“I had an incredible time doing the first one, and I think that if the first one was a stand-alone, as a one-off, there’s no bad thing in that,” explained Gerard Butler when MTV up with him recently. “But, you know, let’s see what it might bring forward with a second one.”

Butler also said that he hasn't heard anything official, and its only fans and journalists that seem to keep him in the loop!

“I don’t know how real it is,” he said.

Please no sequel or prequel to 300. Just leave it as a standalone movie and actually get making some comic book movies that badly need to be made instead of pointless sequels and prequels

Hell yeah, LEEE, Butler would be awesome as Captain Britain or even Kraven The Hunter. Im just trying to find out which DC character he could play

@wards, hell yeah. Guy Ritchie is great and I can't wait for that sequel.


no to a 300 sequel. I think we already have too many nipples in zack snyder movies.

bropous-what sucked about 300? the story was great, acting,good,special effect,spot on. i don't see anything "garbage" like about it.

I agree with dancingmonkey. Neeeext! There isn't even a sequel to the comic. Why do another movie? I think Frank Miller and Zack Snyder need to get started on the Dark Knight Returns movie. Do that first, and if you must do a sequel to something, do Dark Knight Strikes again. Hell, if Gerard Butler needs work, age him up with prosthetics and cast him as old Bruce Wayne/Batman.

lol, Mario I think we must differ vastly on our taste in movies. I thought Rockenrolla was boring as hell.

"There this facking c#nt, an he has this facking painting, an hes a c#nt"..repeat, ad nauseum.

I hate Ritchie's movies..bar Snatch which was entertaining.

Tea, that is disturbing! Love the dancing Gerry gifs

DANCING @ Yeah he'd make a great SPIDEY villain too, don't if ever pick the same actor twice from the same UNiverse but yeah he'd be good in both roles dude!!! ; )

As for DC Universe,,,,, HAWKMAN of course!!!



Copy an paste that dude =

Leee-He would be spot on for Hawkman. I could definitely picture him in that bird helmet.
MatchesMalone
MatchesMalone - 10/7/2009, 10:16 AM
Keven-I don't think Hawkman is lame per se, but he definitely has a convoluted history. Maybe not a stand alone movie for him, but a slot in the JLA roster might be cool if they ever get around to making it and if they decide to go outside of the original seven.

Bird helmet, yeah @ MATCHES @ Lol!! ; D

Damn how good would it be if DC/WB made a HAWKWORLD movie!!!

Hey Tea, u like my new avatar? Its just for you!

Kev, I agree about Hawkman, well that is, I haven't read enough if him to know how cool a movie would be, but Cap Britain is awesome dude!

gerard butler said he woulld never undergo that severe style of regimented work out and diet again. He said it was hard as hell. I loved the first movie but I dont see how they could make another one better! prequel or sequel.

StephenStrange - 10/7/2009, 10:55 AM
@ KeepingitReal: I don't blame him for saying that. The workout they used is absolutely brutal. It was practically ascetic in my book.
It's a little bit like my cutting routine except ten times worse.

I think this guy will be a cultural icon for the rest of his life because of his role as Leonidas. Personally I think it would be a shame if they never let him take a crack at another lead in a CBM. Somebody hugely popular.

someone said in another thread that butler would make a good kraven. i think i have to agree with that wholefartedly.

in a 300 sequel they could show the battle that the first one ended with. but i don't think thats really needed. the first one made its point. anything after that will feel forced, i think.

not a fan of frank miller!, well that's cool i guess, i think miller and snyder are the only people who, actually make the movies EXACTLY like the comics they came from. i mean 300 that was scene for scene just like the book and also with watchmen, these are pretty much the only two movies that are axactly like the comics. isn't that what we want?
