Fan Casting Disney’s Live-Action Hercules Remake

June 10, 2020 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno on his picks to play roles in Disney’s Hercules remake…

Disney is moving forward with a live-action remake of its iconic 1997 animated film Hercules, with Avengers: Endgame’s Russo Brothers in the producer’s chair and Dave Callaham, the writer of the upcoming Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and DC sequel Wonder Woman 1984, penning the script.

Join our host EJ Moreno as he dives into who should play the major roles in this upcoming remake. From Zac Efron to Ariana Grande, let’s see who would fill the big shoes left by their animated counterparts. Watch the video below, and be sure to head on over to our YouTube channel for more videos and exclusive content…

The 1997 animated movie went for a musical fantasy route as it retold the Hercules legend in a modern-influenced and comedic way. Tate Donovan voiced the young demigod looking to his place in the world, while James Woods and Danny DeVito featured in the supporting cast.
