As we already revealed, Rodrigo Santoro will be reprising his role as Xerxes. While the film will focus primarily on the Battle of Artemisium, it will also serve as a prequel to 300 and establish the character of Xerxes before he becomes the self-proclaimed god-King. The Rise of an Empire subtitle could be a nod to several of the film's rumored plot points - including the Greek's "rising" up to Persian attack or more likely Xerxes' rise to power. It was in Thermopylae that the events of 300 took place, a clever explanation as to why Gerard Butler and his 300 Spartans won't be in the film. During the battle, the Persians - led by Artemisia ( Eva Green) - were making a second attempt at invading Greece, whilst another army, led by the god-King Xerxes, was advancing through Thermopylae. Loosely based on the Battle of Artemisium, 300: Rise of an Empire will feature the naval section of a battle between the Persians and the Greek. While the film doesn't star practically any members of the original's principal cast, 300: Rise of an Empire does boast a story that runs concurrent to the events in the first movie. wanted to keep the 300 connection alive in terms of titling, since most will jump at the opportunity to return to that world.
Now that the film is in the midst of production, though, it appears to have landed on an official title - 300: Rise of an Empire. At one point called Xerxes, and then known as 300: Battle of Artemisia, the prequel/sequel to the 2006 blockbuster 300 has gone by many different names.
