Medusa was not a character in Wrath of the Titans, and therefore, no one played her in that film. Her storyline concluded in the preceding movie, Clash of the Titans (2010).
In Clash of the Titans (2010), the mythical gorgon Medusa was a significant antagonist whose death was central to the plot. She was portrayed by the Russian supermodel and actress Natalia Vodianova.
Medusa's Portrayal in the Film Series
To clarify Medusa's role and portrayal across the modern Clash of the Titans film series, consider the following:
Film Title | Medusa's Role | Actress | Relevant Context |
---|---|---|---|
Clash of the Titans (2010) | A powerful Gorgon and key adversary | Natalia Vodianova | Medusa is depicted as a cursed priestess turned monstrous gorgon. Her defeat by Perseus, and the use of her severed head, are pivotal events in the narrative. This film established her appearance and characterization in this series. |
Wrath of the Titans (2012) | Not present as a character | N/A | As Medusa was killed at the end of Clash of the Titans (2010), she does not appear in Wrath of the Titans. The sequel focuses on new threats and characters. |
This distinction is important for understanding the continuity and character progression within the modern Clash of the Titans and Wrath of the Titans films.
