Jennifer Hudson , I ’m not saying you have to clear your agenda for this project . I ’m just say it would make a lot of people ( me ) very happy .
Herculesfans,Disneyenthusiasts, andGreekmythology nerds, stand up! If you haven’t yet heard, Sean Bailey, president ofWalt DisneyPictures, recently toldthe New York Timesthat a live-action remake of Disney’s beloved 1997 animated movieHerculesis currently in development.
Though theHercules live-action remake isn’t necessarily new news, since the Russo brothers confirmed withVarietylate last year that they were going to produce the film, Sean’s further confirmation stirred up some very passionate discourse in the Twittersphere about casting.
This app might finally slip into an abysm when they announce the casting for this.https://t.co/4ouPdgslqT
1.The Muses
Jennifer Hudson (specifically as Calliope):

Jazmine Sullivan and Amber Riley:
Just give Jazmine and Amber Riley their spot now
Alternatively, Lizzo is also a top pick to play Thalia, but TBH, I’m making an executive decision and casting her as Terpsichore:

2.Phil
I think we can all agree that Danny DeVito simply needs to reprise his role. Like, I’m so sure we’re all on the same page about this:

And finally, this person posed the question, and the fans answered. Taron Egerton:
What about Taron Egerton for Hercules ?
