“Clash of the Titans” actor Luke Evans, who played Apollo in the 2010 film, is returning to Mt. Olympus in “Immortals,” this time as Zeus.

“Immortals,” directed by Tarsem Singh (“The Fall,” “The Cell”), opens in theaters on Nov. 11 and is loosely based on the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. In the big-budget action film, which shares producers with Zack Snyder’s 2006 blockbuster “300,” Zeus recruits Theseus, played by “Man of Steel” actor Henry Cavill, to lead an army against the evil Hyperion (Mickey Rourke).
Evans talks about playing the Greek god in the clip below.
