Warner Bros has denied that Guy Ritchie has signed on to direct 300 prequel Xerxes.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the studio dismissed reports of the helmer's involvement in the project as "an erroneous rumour".
Based on Frank Miller's upcoming Dark Horse miniseries, Xerxes tells the story of the Zoroastrian king of the Achaemenid Empire. The cinematic adaptation is said to be in development, but is yet to be greenlit.
It has been speculated that Zack Snyder may be unable to reprise his role as director for the prequel due to his Superman commitments.
The Xerxes comic will be published later this year. A potential release window for the film is yet to be announced.
