Parts of the series were loosely adapted for the 2014 film 300: Rise of an Empire, a sequel to the 2007 film adaptation of 300. However, the comic series was not actually published until 2018, four years after the film's release. A further film adaptation of Xerxes' Rise of Alexander segments, Blood and Ashes, is also in development.
