"You're not fit to be king."

Ever since he made his name in Zack Snyder's hugely successful 300, Gerard Butler has continued to star in a variety of mediocre action movies and violent thrillers. Now the Scottish actor is set to return to the realms of epic fantasy, with the upcoming movie Gods of Egypt. A wild new trailer has been released, and it looks like a lavish, over-the-top affair, with plenty of dubious CGI. Check it out here:

Butler stars as the ancient Egyptian god Set, who enslaves his people after banishing rival deity Horus, played by Game of Thrones' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The film sees Horus team up with a mortal hero to overthrow the power-crazed Set.

Gods of Egypt also stars Brenton Thwaites, Elodie Young, and Chadwick Boseman. It is directed by The Crow's Alex Proyas, and hits cinemas on February 26, 2016.
