In a bold mythological reimagining, Lionsgate and director Zack Snyder have released the first teaser trailer for HADES (2025): The Untold Story of Hercules, a dark, epic fantasy that flips the heroic narrative on its head.

Alan Ritchson (Reacher, Fast X) stars as Hercules, but this time, the legendary demigod isn’t the invincible hero we remember. Instead, the film dives deep into the shadows of Mount Olympus and the politics of the gods—told through the eyes of Hades, the long-misunderstood ruler of the Underworld.

The teaser opens with volcanic flames bursting from a cracked Earth, while a chilling voiceover declares: “The victor writes history. The dead remember the truth.”

The trailer teases epic underworld battles, cursed souls, and Hercules facing trials not from man or beast—but from his own past. Luke Evans plays Hades, portrayed not as a villain but a tragic antihero exiled from Olympus, while Eva Green joins as Persephone, whose alliance with Hercules could destroy the balance between realms.

Visually stunning and thematically rich, HADES blends ancient mythology with modern cinematic flair—offering gods, monsters, and betrayals on a scale worthy of legends.

HADES (2025) hits theaters worldwide on August 15, 2025, with IMAX and Dolby screenings planned.
