The ancient world rises again as the first official trailer for Troy (2025) is unveiled, featuring Chris Hemsworth in a thunderous new portrayal of the mythic warrior Achilles. This bold reimagining of Homer’s Iliad, directed by Denis Villeneuve, promises a gritty, emotional, and visually jaw-dropping epic that redefines the sword-and-sandal genre for a modern audience.

Set against the backdrop of a decade-long siege, the trailer opens with sweeping shots of burning beaches, divine omens in the sky, and armies clashing under blood-red sunsets. Hemsworth’s Achilles, rugged and tormented, is introduced in a voiceover: “The gods made me a weapon… but man made me a monster.”

The film follows the final days of the Trojan War, with an intense focus on Achilles’ inner conflict—torn between glory and fate. Hemsworth brings a raw intensity to the legendary warrior, blending physical ferocity with emotional depth as he faces both human enemies and immortal consequences.

The trailer also teases breathtaking battle choreography, large-scale naval warfare, and a star-studded cast, including Ana de Armas as Briseis, Oscar Isaac as Hector, and Cillian Murphy as cunning Odysseus. Zeus’s thunder cracks across the battlefield as the Trojan Horse rolls into view in the trailer’s climactic final shot.
