Gemma Arterton won’t return?

Bill Nighy and Danny Huston have both signed on to the upcoming sequel to last year’s Clash Of The Titans reboot.

Nighy will take on the role of Hephaestus, the son of Zeus and Hera and the god of blacksmiths, fire and volcanoes.

Meanwhile, Huston will reprise his role as Poseidon – and will no doubt be gifted more screentime this time around after a blink-and-miss-him look in the first Clash .

A Warner Bros press release confirmed the casting, while also seemingly announcing that Gemma Arterton would not be returning for the follow-up – her name was conspicuously absent from the statement.

What we do have, though, is a lengthy official plot synopsis for the movie. Check it out below...

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus - the demigod son of Zeus - is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius.

Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon.
