That childhood trauma made her blind and so full of vengeance. “He might have awakened something in her, or not, because she’s completely mad. “It is kind of interesting when Themistokles shows up and it’s like, ‘Whoa,'” Green said with a laugh. They go toe-to-toe and them some throughout “300: Rise of an Empire,” and in one of the film’s wildest scenes, Artemisia tries to seduce Themistokles in what may is destined to be one of the most-talked about sex scenes in years to come. Nothing, except a passion ignited by her enemy, the Greek General Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) an adversary she doesn’t necessarily loathe - but admires - because he’s equal to her in skill and stature. Her heart is so hard and there’s almost nothing left.” “Instead, we find out that she was traumatized as a child and had to build this sort of inner armor to survive. “Thank God there’s the back story, otherwise, she would just be a one-dimensional killing machine,” Green observed.

The character is filled with all sorts of complexities, and Green said she reveled in every single one of them. The great thing is, while Green possesses all the physical attributes to make the character work, you can also see the wheels spinning behind her piercing eyes because Artemisia is also wrought with inner turmoil. But if anybody has fears that such a larger-than-life screen persona can’t be replicated, they’re sure to be knocked on their asses with Eva Green’s stunning portrayal of Artemisia in “300: Rise of an Empire.”īeautiful, charismatic, ruthless and sexy as hell, Green’s Artemisia commands your attention every second she’s on-screen. Sure, seven years have passed since the first “300” film and the specter of Gerard Butler’s King Leonidas is still looming large.
