Découvrez la bande-annonce, la date de sortie et le casting de “Percy Jackson” sur Disney+
Exciting news for fans of Percy Jackson and the Olympians! Disney+ is currently working on a new adaptation of the beloved book series, and it looks like it will be even better than the previous film version. This time, the story will be told in an episodic format, which is perfect for the adventures of Percy and his friends as they navigate through modern-day versions of Greek myths. And the best part? The lead roles will be played by kids, bringing a new level of authenticity to the characters.
The Cast
Let’s talk about the cast. First, we have Walker Scobell, who will be taking on the role of Percy Jackson himself. Walker has already shown his talent in other projects, and author Rick Riordan personally delivered the news to him via Zoom, which made it all feel very real and exciting. Next, we have Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri, who will be playing Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, respectively. Riordan promised fans that this trio will do them proud, and we can’t wait to see them in action.
But the cast doesn’t stop there. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Tony Award-winning actor and creator of “Hamilton,” will be portraying Hermes, the god with the best shoes. And joining him are comedy favorites Jason Mantzoukas and Megan Mullally, who will be playing Dionysus and Alecto, respectively. The cast is rounded out by Virginia Kull, Glynn Turman, Timm Sharp, Jay Duplass, and Timothy Omundsen, who will be taking on various godly and mortal roles throughout the series.
Teaser Trailer
On Percy Jackson’s birthday, August 18, Disney+ released a teaser trailer that gave us a glimpse of what’s to come. The video showcased the elevator to Olympus, Camp Half-Blood, and some epic action scenes featuring Annabeth and Grover. The visuals are vibrant, the characters look like they belong at a camp for demigods, and the ominous voice-over adds to the excitement.
Release Date
While the exact release date is still unknown, we do know that the series is on track and is set to finish filming the first season in late 2022 or early 2023. Taking into account post-production time, it’s safe to say that we can expect the show to air in early 2024. Stay tuned for more updates!
Get ready to embark on a new adventure with Percy Jackson and his friends. This adaptation is shaping up to be something truly special, and we can’t wait to see how it all unfolds on Disney+.
