Is 300 Part 3 Coming? Latest Updates & Rumors

Fans of the blood-soaked, slow-motion-heavy 300 franchise have long wondered: will there be a 300 Part 3? Unfortunately, the answer—for now—is no. Despite director Zack Snyder’s passion for the series and a completed script for a third installment, Warner Bros. has officially passed on the project.

What Was 300 Part 3 Supposed to Be?

Zack Snyder revealed that he had written a script titled 300: Blood and Ashes, which was intended to be the final chapter in the trilogy. Unlike the first two films, which were rooted in Greco-Persian history and mythology, this third entry reportedly shifted focus to a more intimate and philosophical story—centered on Alexander the Great. Snyder described it as a love story, diverging from the hyper-masculine, war-driven tone that defined the earlier films.

This tonal departure may have been the reason Warner Bros. declined to move forward. According to Snyder, the studio felt the script strayed too far from the aesthetic and thematic identity of the franchise.

Rumors and Fan Speculation

Over the years, rumors have swirled about a potential sequel titled 300: Born of an Empire, but no credible sources have confirmed its development. The lack of updates from Warner Bros. or Snyder himself suggests that the franchise is currently dormant.

Still, the enduring popularity of 300 and 300: Rise of an Empire—both of which remain cult favorites for their stylized visuals and mythic storytelling—keeps hope alive among fans. In an era where legacy sequels and reboots are thriving, it’s not impossible that 300 could rise again under a new creative vision or studio.

The Legacy of 300

The original 300 (2006) was a game-changer in action cinema, blending graphic novel aesthetics with groundbreaking visual effects. Its sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire (2014), expanded the universe but didn’t quite capture the same cultural lightning. Still, both films left a lasting impact on pop culture, influencing everything from video games to advertising.

For now, the 300 saga remains a two-film series. Unless Warner Bros. revisits the franchise or another studio takes up the mantle, 300 Part 3—in any form—remains an unrealized dream.
