Ahmed Malek Mostafa (born 29 September 1995) is an Egyptian actor. His first audition came at the age of eight when his uncle took him to perform in a commercial. In 2005, Malek had his first role in the TV series "Ayamna el helwa" (Our Good Days). A few years later, he played a small role in "Mafish Fayda", starring Moustafa Amar and Basma. Shortly after, executive director Osama Farid asked Malek to perform the role of young Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, in the TV series El-Gamaah (2010) (The Brotherhood), which is considered the then-15-year-old's first breakthrough role. After the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, Malek disappeared for a short time, as he decided to focus on political and revolutionary activism. When director Gamal Abdel Hameed offered him the role of a young Egyptian revolutionary activist in the TV series "Al-shaware'a al-khafiya" (The Backstreets) - starring famous actors Jamal Soliman, Layla Olwi, Sami El-Adl and Gihan Fadel - he could not resist. In 2012, director Mohamed Samy offered Malek the role of Ahmed, a stammered teenage addict in his series Ma'a Sabq Alesrar (2012). With his newfound success in the role, Samy nominated Malek to play the role of a troubled teen in his new TV series Hekayet Hayah (2013) for which he won a DG award for Best Young Actor in 2013. Seeing Malek's impressive performance, renowned Egyptian director Sharif Arafah asked him to audition for a pivotal role in the much-anticipated sequel of his movie El-Gezirah (2007). The sequel, The Island 2 (2014), propelled Malek towards regional stardom in the Middle East and after which he become one of the most successful and sought-after Egyptian actors of his generation. He would later find international fame with roles in critically acclaimed films such as Clash (2016), Sheikh Jackson (2017) and Leil Khargi (2018) - all of which have been selected to represent Egypt in international film festivals and award circuits.

At the dawn of creation, the gods of Olympus wage war against the ancient Titans. After their victory, Zeus claims the heavens, Poseidon rules the seas, and Hades is left to govern the Underworld, believing he has been betrayed by his brother. From his bitterness, Hades creates the Kraken, a monstrous weapon that helps secure the gods’ power — and waits for the day humanity turns against them. Generations later, mortals begin to question the gods who created them. When King Acrisius of Argos challenges Olympus, Zeus retaliates by fathering a child with Acrisius’ wife, Danaë. Their son Perseus is born a demigod, but after Acrisius discovers the betrayal, he casts the infant and his mother into the sea. Perseus survives and is raised by the kind fisherman Spyros and his family, learning the values of love, loyalty, and humanity. Eighteen years later, Perseus’ world is destroyed when the gods punish Argos for its rebellion. Left as the sole survivor, he discovers his divine heritage and learns that Hades has threatened to unleash the Kraken unless Princess Andromeda is sacrificed. Guided by the immortal Io and joined by a group of warriors, Perseus must journey across a world of ancient magic and forgotten monsters to find a way to save Argos. Facing the cursed warrior Calibos, the Stygian Witches, and the terrifying Gorgon Medusa, Perseus discovers that both gods and mortals are capable of cruelty and compassion. As Olympus and the Underworld clash for control of humanity’s fate, Perseus must decide whether to embrace his divine blood or reject the power of the gods who shaped his destiny. A sweeping mythological epic of betrayal, sacrifice, and defiance, Clash of the Titans follows a hero caught between two worlds as he fights not to become a god or a king, but to remain human.
