ZEUS (2025)
Chris Hemsworth just grabbed the lightning bolt and ran with it. In ZEUS, the King of Gods is a battered, booze-scented wreck who crash-lands in modern Athens after mortals stop praying and Typhon claws his way out of eternity. The world literally starts forgetting the gods exist. Shrines crumble, storms fizzle, and Olympus is bleeding power.
Enter Angelina Jolie as Hera: regal, venomous, and the only one who still remembers how to weaponize bureaucracy. Their forced alliance is pure fire. She calls him “brother” like it’s a curse; he calls her “my queen” like it still hurts. The sexual tension could power the Acropolis.
The visuals are insane: a thunderbolt hammered on an anvil of molten gold, Furies dive-bombing through neon rain, the entire Athens metro turning into a black-glass labyrinth. And that final trial on the cliff where oaths literally burn into the sky? My jaw was on the floor.
Hemsworth roars, Jolie slays, and the myth feels dangerously alive. This isn’t Marvel gods in capes; this is ancient, furious, and sexy as hell.
Expect lightning to strike twice.
