Ralph Fiennes is in advanced negotiations to star as Hades in CLASH OF THE TITANS at Warner Bros., per VARIETY.

He would join Gemma Arterton, Mads Mikkelsen, Alexa Davalos and Sam Worthington in Louis Leterrier's film. Liam Neeson was set to play Zeus, but the death of his wife Natasha Richardson last month has made his involvement uncertain.

Fiennes will return to the role of Voldemort in the final HARRY POTTER installment, HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART II, set to begin production in the fall.
