VIDEO: 'Hercules' Trailer #2 Pits The Rock vs. The Gods

Hercules, the second big-screen take this year on the Greek mythos after January's Kellan Lutz-starring bomb, The Legend of Hercules, looks to be a whole lot more epic than its predecessor. In this film, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is pit against the gods themselves, as family man Hercules suddenly finds himself alone again after his wife and child are murdered. Enter the King of Thrace and his daughter, who seek the aid of Hercules in overthrowing a bloodthirsty warlord who may have more than a passing connection to those responsible for the deaths of his loved ones.

This second trailer is all kinds of insane spectacles, with mythical creatures from Greek lore, Hercules showing a lion who's boss, and the explosive outbreak of total war. The releases July 25, but you can get in on the hype by checking out the full trailer below:
