After a rocky start to the film’s marketing campaign, Lionsgate has released a second trailer for Gods of Egypt, which tries to explain the film’s plot a little better in less than two minutes.
The film’s first trailer was only released last month, but the backlash against the cast - which includes no Egyptian actors - was so loud that Lionsgate and director Alex Proyas made the unprecedented move to acknowledge their mistake. Usually, studios and directors wait until after a movie comes out to admit an error.
As Lionsgate tries to move on from that, the studio dropped a much-shorter second trailer. In this one, it’s a bit more focused on Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones), who plays an Egyptian god who has to stop an evil god (Gerard Butler). Brenton Thwaites (The Giver) stars as a boy who helps Coster-Waldau on his journey.
Gods of Egypt will be in theaters on Feb. 26 in 2D and 3D.
