Former Bond girl Rosamund Pike will release the Kraken in your pants next year when she stars in Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ Wrath of the Titans, a sequel to their blockbuster remake of the 1981 fantasy adventurer Clash of the Titans.

Pike inherits the role of Princess Andromeda from Alexa Davalos (The Mist), who reportedly will be busy washing her hair while the sequel is shot. In Greek mythology, Andromeda goes on to marry Perseus, the son of Zeus, after he rescues her from Poseidon’s sea monster.

Pike first broke in the States as femme fatale Miranda Frost in the James Bond film Die Another Day. She’s since starred in numerous indies that you’d see with your aunt … because she gives you money for Dibs ice cream balls. The 32-year-old Brit’s only genre creds are Universal Pictures’ Doom adaptation and Jonathan Mostow’s sci-fi actioner Surrogates.

Wrath of the Titans is directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles) and sees original players Sam Worthington (Perseus), Liam Neeson (Zeus), and Gemma Arterton (Io) reprising their roles. The film is slated for release on March 30, 2012.
