In less than a week, viewers will be able to discover the second part of Kaamelott in the cinema. But the question that remains among fans is why Perceval, one of the most popular characters in the saga, played by Frank Pitio in the series and the first film, does not appear in the casting of this sequel?
Alexandre Astier has already raised this topic in Samuel Etienne’s show Ma vie pro. The creator and director of Kaamelott said:It’s not really very interesting: Perceval is absent because Frank Pitio, who plays him, is not back. He didn’t want to go back to that part.”
Then he added: “NOTE: Frank Pitio is not in the movie. It’s a little more difficult for Perceval. I can’t say more, but it’s a little more difficult than ‘he’s not there.’
A simple explanation, but surprising to fans.
A mysterious message from Frank Pitio
Wednesday, October 15 Frank Pitio Reposted the AI-generated video on his Instagram account, in which we see an animated version of Perceval proclaiming: “Sir, I saw you on Twitch. Want to tell Frank Pitio from Perceval? But me without him, it’s like a hermit crab without a shell, or a bread escalope without breadcrumbs… you know what I mean?”

A humorous way of challenging the relationship between the actor and his character, which caused many fans to react. Some saw this as an indirect response to Alexandre Astier and a declaration of attachment to the role…
In turn, on his Instagram account, Frank Pitio claims it’s because of the script that he did not want to return.
Reinventing a legend
During the press day of Camelot: Part Two, which took place yesterday, we asked Alexander Astaire about the absence of Perceval – the central character of the quest for the Grail – in the continuity of the story. Then the author-director placed this absence in a wider perspective: about the natural transformation of myths and legends.
“He is not essential, no one is necessary, and Arthur can die. There is not one Arthurian legend, there are several. There are several eras, there are several centuries before writing. Monty Python Who made them, and what is very important, because they are about King Arthur in the Pleiades, I am there too, I tell you this…
Frank Pitio and Alexandre Astier
We are there because mythology is a brick in the wall. We don’t judge him. There was Geoffroy de Montmus who invented a royal past for the lineage on command, then there were others who wrote Arthur more like Amour Courtois, then the Monty Pythons invented the Sacré Grail. This is one of the people who told the story of Arthur, so there is no legend, nothing to appreciate.

For Alexandre Astier, the absence of Frank Pitio changed the story.
“It is true that the actor of Perceval did not return, it is fate, it means that the story must move on and he will go. Perceval is not interpreted by his historical actor, but he is present in a certain way, in a different way. He continues to be like this, in an epistolary way, he expresses himself, to say where he is, I cannot say much, but what I want, I cannot. There should be no disrespect to anyone, which probably pleases me more than he It would be if nothing had changed. Now I’m very happy to say it.”
after absence Frank Pitiowho, for reasons still unknown, did not want to return, so Alexandre Astier rewrote the second part of Camelot. If the actor does not appear in the film, the character is mentioned several times. The feature film hits theaters this Wednesday, October 22.
