Anyone else sense the idea that a part 2 to the movie 300 will come out?

Question

Historically, the Battle of Plataea took place exactly one year after the Battle of Thermopylae. Only this time it results in a decisive Greek victory. If you see the movie 300, at the end you see Dilios (guy without an eye) with 10,000 Spartans and 20,000 Greek allies go against the Persians to retake Sparta.

I think that the directors did this intentionally to make it easier on themselves when they make part two. I mean, the story would fit perfectly. Part 1 (300) ends somewhat sad with the defeat but then they'll have part 2 where the Greeks win and so forth. . .

Does anyone else see this coming?

CORRECTION:

He rounds up 30,000 soldiers but they do not show the Persians there.

Answer 1

I have heard they are planning a sequel to the movie, though the battle of Plataea has nothing to do with retaking Sparta as Sparta never fell to the Persians. I am not sure what the sequel would be about however (I guess they could do that battle but we already saw the beggining of it so I am not sure how much more there would be to do). Maybe they could do a movie about the Battle of Thermopylae (191 BC) where the Romans defeated a much larger Seleucid Army. That would be interesting.

Answer 2

No, because the movie was based on the Frank Miller graphic novel, which I have read. The movie and novel end at the same part, so I pretty sure there will not be a part 2.
