Regisseur Zack Snyder heeft tegenover de Los Angeles Times bevestigd dat hij is begonnen aan het script voor de verfilming van Frank Millers 300 vervolg Xerxes. Dit doet hij samen met zijn 300 co-schrijver Kurt Johnstad.
"We closed the writing deal on 'Xerxes.' We started writing about a week ago. So we're doing it. It's happening... I don't have a directing deal in place but we are writing it, so call it intent."
"This movie follows Themistocles and the Battle of Artemisium, which coincidentally happens on the exact same three days as the Battle of Thermopylae [which was the basis of '300']. This one starts off with a quick retelling of the why of the Persian wars. It starts off at the Battle of Marathon and then it goes back to Themistocles finding out that Persians are invading again. and off we go over to learn a little bit about why Xerxes is the way he is."
