The King of the Gods is back. The first official concept trailer for Zeus has just dropped, and Chris Hemsworth returns to the role of the mighty Zeus, the god of thunder, in a bold new mythological adventure. In this thrilling and action-packed film, Zeus faces his greatest challenge yet as he battles to protect Olympus and the human world from an ancient evil that threatens to bring about the end of both realms.

Directed by Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit), Zeus (2025) reimagines the Greek myths for a new generation, bringing a fresh and exciting take on the legendary god’s journey. This time, Zeus must confront not just external enemies, but the very forces that question his rule as king of the gods. With his divine power on the line, Zeus must find his true place among the gods and the mortals he has sworn to protect.

The teaser opens with Zeus (Hemsworth) standing tall on the peak of Mount Olympus, thunder crashing around him as his eyes flash with divine fury. His voice rings out, powerful and commanding: “I am Zeus. King of the gods. And no one dares challenge me.”

Key moments from the trailer include:

• Zeus’ return, now older and more battle-worn, as he struggles to maintain his position as ruler of Olympus while facing an ancient, dark power rising from the underworld—Tartarus—threatening to destroy both the gods and humanity

• A massive battle against the Titans, as Zeus must rally the gods of Olympus to face their ancient enemies in an all-out war that will shake the heavens to their core

• Zeus’ relationship with his fellow gods, including his tense and complex interactions with Hera (played by Nicole Kidman), Ares (played by Richard Madden), and Poseidon (played by Idris Elba), who have their own motivations and agendas, leading to conflicts that jeopardize the fate of Olympus

• A jaw-dropping showdown with Hades (played by Oscar Isaac), the god of the underworld, who rises with a new, terrifying army of monsters, leading to a breathtaking clash between the gods and the forces of darkness

• Zeus’ vulnerability as he grapples with his power and his past, questioning his role as king and his relationship with the mortals he’s sworn to protect, culminating in a powerful moment of self-discovery

• A high-stakes race against time, as Zeus must use his powers to prevent the destruction of both Olympus and Earth, battling everything from massive beasts to natural disasters, all while dealing with his internal struggles

• Zeus’ ultimate sacrifice, as he faces a personal loss that forces him to rethink everything he’s fought for and realize what it truly means to be a god—leading to an emotional and epic conclusion that could alter the fate of both realms forever

The film promises to bring breathtaking action, stunning visual effects, and deep emotional stakes to the classic Greek mythology, while Hemsworth’s portrayal of Zeus adds layers of humor, heart, and heroism to the iconic character.
